Mass spectrometers often use ‘drift tubes’ in which molecular ions can come into equilibrium with a gas at a particular temperature. Calculate the most probable speed, the average speed, and the root mean square velocity at 298 K for lysozyme (m.w. 14,300 Da) in a drift tube. What is the most probable translational kinetic energy of lysozyme?
