| 1. | All vessels contain an unequal number of respective molecules. |
| 2. | The root mean square speed of molecules is the same in all three cases. |
| 3. | The root mean square speed of helium is the largest. |
| 4. | The root mean square speed of sulfur hexafluoride is the largest. |
At what temperature will the \(\text{rms}\) speed of oxygen molecules become just sufficient for escaping from the earth's atmosphere?
(Given: Mass of oxygen molecule \((m)= 2.76\times 10^{-26}~\text{kg}\), Boltzmann's constant \(k_B= 1.38\times10^{-23}~\text{J K}^{-1}\))
1. \(2.508\times 10^{4}~\text{K}\)
2. \(8.360\times 10^{4}~\text{K}\)
3. \(5.016\times 10^{4}~\text{K}\)
4. \(1.254\times 10^{4}~\text{K}\)
