The correct answer is 516.9 m/s.
To calculate the root mean square velocity of oxygen gas molecules at 77 °C, we can use the following equation:
u = √(3RT/M)
where u is the root mean square velocity, R is the gas constant (8.314 Kg.m²/S².mol.K), T is the temperature in Kelvin (77 °C = 350 K), and M is the molar mass of oxygen (15.999 g/mol).
First, let's convert the molar mass of oxygen to kg/mol:
M = 15.999 g/mol / 1000 g/kg = 0.015999 kg/mol
Now we can substitute the values into the equation:
u = √(3 x 8.314 Kg.m²/S².mol.K x 350 K / 0.015999 kg/mol)
u = 516.9 m/s
Therefore, the root mean square velocity of oxygen gas molecules at 77 °C is approximately 516.9 m/s.
Calculate the root mean square velocity of theoxygen gas (O2) molecules at 77 °C. (R =8.314 Kg.m²/S².mol.K). (atomic mass of O-15.999 g/mol).
