Answer #1

Temperature in kelvin is = 273+1.5

= 274.5 K

It is given that molecular weight of ammonia = 17.03 g/mol

Convert the molecular weight into kg/mol = 17.03×10-3 kg/mol

Root mean square velocity is, vrms = square root ( 3RT /M)

Here, R is the universal gas constant, T is the temperature in kelvin and M is the molecular weight.

vrms = square root(3×8.314×274.5/17.03×10-3)

= 634.058 m/sec

The RMS speed of ammonia is = 634.058 m/sec
