21. Kinetic Theory of Ideal Gases / Root-Mean-Square Velocity of Gases / Problem 5

Assuming that pollen grains are spherical and have a density of 1100 kg/m3, calculate the rms speed of a pollen grain at a temperature of 25°C if it behaves like an ideal gas. The diameter of a typical pollen grain is 20 μm.
