VRMS-1 Consider a container of Argon gas at a temperature of 25.0 °C. The mass of an Argon
atom is 39.96 AMU, where 1 AMU = 1.66×10-27 kg.
(a) What is the average kinetic energy per Argon atom, in Joules (J)?
(b) What is the RMS average speed of the Argon atoms, in meters per second (m/s)?
(c) What would the temperature of the gas have to be for the RMS average speed to 275
m/s? Give your answer in degrees Celsius (°C).
By counting squares in the following figure, estimate the fraction of argon atoms at T = 300 K that have speeds between 400 m/s and
600 m/s. The curve is correctly normalized. The value of a square is its length as measured on the x-axis times its height as measured
on the y-axis, with the units given on those axes.
