  • question_answer
    The temperature, at which the root mean square velocity of hydrogen molecules equals their escape velocity from the earth, is closest to:
    [Boltzmann Constant \[{{k}_{B}}=1.38\times {{10}^{-23}}J/K\]
    Avogadro Number \[{{N}_{A}}=6.02\times {{10}^{26}}/kg\]
    Radius of Earth : \[6.4\times {{10}^{6}}m\]
    Gravitational acceleration on Earth\[=10m{{s}^{-2}}\]]
                                                                [JEE Main 8-4-2019 Afternoon]

    A) 650 K              

    B) \[3\times {{10}^{5}}K\]

    C) \[{{10}^{4}}\] K

    D)   800 K

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[{{\text{v}}_{rms}}=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{m}}\]  \[{{\text{v}}_{escape}}=\sqrt{2g{{R}_{e}}}\]           \[{{\text{v}}_{rms}}={{v}_{escape}}\] \[\frac{3RT}{m}=2g{{R}_{e}}\]           \[\frac{3\times 1.38\times {{10}^{-23}}\times 6.02\times {{10}^{26}}}{2}\times T\]           \[=2\times 10\times 6.4\times {{10}^{6}}\]           \[T=\frac{4\times 10\times 6.4\times {{10}^{6}}}{3\times 1.38\times 6.02\times {{10}^{3}}}=10\times {{10}^{3}}={{10}^{4}}k\]           Note: Question gives avogadro Number \[{{N}_{A}}=6.02\times {{10}^{26}}/kg\] but we take \[{{N}_{A}}=6.02\times {{10}^{26}}/kmol.\]
