Problem 24.27 (RHK)


The root-mean-square (rms) speed of hydrogen molecules at is We have to compute the speed of colloidal particles of “molar mass” .


Solution:           Click For PDF Version

Relation between the average kinetic energy of a particle of mass m in a gas at temperature T is

or

We have to find the of colloidal particles of molar mass

Therefore, the mass of a single colloidal particle will be

And, the rms speed of the colloidal particles will be
