Determine the root mean square velocity of the oxygen molecules.

Task data: Patm. (normal atmospheric pressure) = 101 325 Pa; by condition ρ (oxygen density) = 1.43 kg / m3.

The mean square velocity of oxygen molecules can be determined by the formula: P = 1/3 * ρ * Vav ^ 2; Vav ^ 2 = 3P / ρ and Vav ^ 2 = √ (3P / ρ).

Product calculation: Vav = √ (3 * 101325 / 1.43) = 461 m / s.

Answer: Under normal conditions, the mean square velocity of oxygen molecules is 461 m / s.
