The root mean square velocity of the molecules in a sample of helium is $(5/7)^{th}$ that of the molecules in a sample of hydrogen. If the temperature of the hydrogen sample is $0^{\circ}C$,then the temperature of the helium sample is about:

  • A
    $0^{\circ}C$
  • B
    $0 \, K$
  • C
    $273^{\circ}C$
  • D
    $100^{\circ}C$

$A$ vessel is partitioned into two equal halves by a fixed diathermic separator. Two different ideal gases are filled in the left $(L)$ and right $(R)$ halves. The rms speed of the molecules in the $L$ part is equal to the mean speed of the molecules in the $R$ part. Then the ratio of the mass of a molecule in the $L$ part to that of a molecule in the $R$ part is

At what temperature will the root mean square $(rms)$ speed of oxygen molecules be sufficient to escape from the Earth's atmosphere? (Mass of an oxygen molecule $m = 2.76 \times 10^{-26} \, kg$,Boltzmann constant $k_B = 1.38 \times 10^{-23} \, JK^{-1}$,Escape velocity of Earth $v_e = 11.2 \, km/s$)
