A deuteron 21H, is the nucleus of a hydrogen isotope and consists of one proton and one neutron. The plasma of deuterons in a nuclear fusion reactor must be heated to about 2.94×108 K.
What would the temperature of the plasma be if the deuterons had an rms speed equal to 0.11 c? Express your answer in kelvins.
A research group recently made an interesting discovery, while studying laser interactions with molecular gases. They found that nitrous oxide molecules (mass 44.013 g per mole) can reach temperatures exceeding 1,648 degrees Celsius after a interacting with a few closely-spaced (in time) laser pulses. At this temperature, what is the rms speed (in m/s) of a nitrous oxide molecule?
A molecule in Earth's atmosphere at 20 °C has a most probable energy
E = kT/2 = 2.02 ×10-21 J
E = kT =4.04 ×10-21 J
E = 3 k T / 2 = 6.1 ×10-21 J
that depends on the mass of the molecule
