The temperature, at which the root mean square velocity of hydrogen molecules equals their escape velocity from the earth, is closest to :
[Boltzmann Constant kB = 1.38 × 10–23 J/K Avogadro Number NA = 6.02 × 1026 /kg Radius of Earth : 6.4 × 106 m Gravitational acceleration on Earth = 10ms–2]

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 3 × 105 K
  • B 104 K
  • C 650 K
  • D 800 K

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Vrms=3RTM=11.2×103m/s

⇒ T=M3R×(11.2×103)2

= 2×10−33×8.3×125.44×106=104K
