    At what temperature will the rms speed of oxygen molecules become just sufficient for escaping from the Earth's atmosphere? (Given: Mass of oxygen molecule \[\text{(m)=2}\text{.76 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{--26}}}\text{kg}\] Boltzmann's constant \[{{\text{k}}_{\text{B}}}\text{=1}\text{.38 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{--23}}}\text{J}{{\text{K}}^{\text{--1}}}\text{)}\][NEET - 2018]

    A)  \[\text{5}\text{.016 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{4}}}\text{ K}\]         

    B)  \[\text{8}\text{.360 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{4}}}\text{ K}\]

    C)  \[\text{2}\text{.508 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{4}}}\text{ K}\]         

    D)  \[\text{1}\text{.254 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{4}}}\text{ K}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[{{\text{V}}_{\text{escape}}}\text{=11200 m/s}\] Say at temperature T it attains \[{{\text{V}}_{\text{escape}}}\] So, \[\sqrt{\frac{\text{3}{{\text{k}}_{\text{B}}}\text{T}}{{{\text{m}}_{{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}}}}}=11200m/s\] On solving, \[\text{T=8}\text{.360 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{4}}}\text{ K}\]
