Question

Find the rms speed and the average kinetic energy of a hydrogen atom at a temperature of 107 K10^7 \mathrm{~K}. (At this temperature, which is of the order of the temperature in the interior of a star, the hydrogen is ionized and consists of a single proton.)

Given:

Molar mass of hydrogen atom \,\rightarrow\, MM = 1.0×103 kg/mol1.0 \times 10^{-3}\text{ kg/mol}

Temperature \,\rightarrow\, TT = 1.0×107 K1.0 \times 10^{7}\text{ K}

We have a hydrogen atom at a very high temperature. We are asked to determine its rms speed and its average kinetic energy at such a high temperature. We will make use of rms speed equation and average kinetic energy equation.
