Question 9

Multiple Choice

At what temperature would the root-mean-square speed of hydrogen, H2\mathrm { H } _ { 2 } molecules equal 11.2 km/s (the earth's escape speed) ? The mass of a hydrogen atom is 1.67×1027 kg1.67 \times 10 ^ { - 27 } \mathrm {~kg} and the Boltzmann constant is 1.38×1023 J/K1.38 \times 10 ^ { - 23 } \mathrm {~J} / \mathrm { K }


A) 1.01×108 K1.01 \times 10 ^ { 8 } \mathrm {~K}
B) 1.01×106 K1.01 \times 10 ^ { 6 } \mathrm {~K}
C) 1.01×104 K1.01 \times 10 ^ { 4 } \mathrm {~K}
D) 1.01×102 K1.01 \times 10 ^ { 2 } \mathrm {~K}
