[SOLVED] Calculating a particles most probable speed
Diatomic carbon dioxide gas (CO2) has molar mass of 44.0 g/mol is at a temperature of 281 Kelvin.
Calculate the most probable speed .
[tex] V_m_p = \sqrt{\frac{2*k_B*t}{m}} [/tex]
[tex] V_m_p = \sqrt{\frac{2*(1.3807*10^-^2^3)*281}{44}} [/tex]
I have also tried with
[tex] V_m_p = \sqrt{\frac{2*(1.3807*10^-^2^3)*281}{0.044}} [/tex]
with m in kg/mol, but to no avail. I am sure this is the right equation,
