At what temperature does the rms speed of a.) A nitrogen molecule equal the escape speed from the Earth’s surface and b.) A hydrogen molecule equal the escape speed from the Earth’s surface? c.) You will find that these temperatures are very high, so you might think that the earth’s gravity could easily contain both gases. But not all molecules move with vrms. There is a distribution of speeds, and a small percentage of molecules have speeds several times vrms....
