So here we're going to say that the root mean square seed formula is used to determine the velocity of one type of gas molecules. O if I want to find the root mean square speed of chlorine gas or oxygen gas, this is the formula I would use. So root mean square speed is abbreviated as the RMS equals.
Now the term root is used in naming this so root would mean square root. So it equals 3M. Here M stands for the molar mass of the gas, not in grams per mole, but kilograms per mole. And here are. Remember, R's value can change if we're talking about speed, velocity, or energy.
Since we're talking about speed here, it becomes 8.314 Joules over moles times K and then finally temperature will be, as always, in units of Kelvin. O. Here. This represents our root mean square seed formula when looking at one particular type of gas molecule.
