To what temperature should the hydrogen at $327^{\circ} C$ be cooled at constant pressure,so that the root mean square velocity of its molecules becomes half of its previous value (in $^{\circ} C$)?

At $300\,K$,the rms speed of oxygen molecules is $\sqrt{\frac{\alpha+5}{\alpha}}$ times its average speed in the gas. Then,the value of $\alpha$ will be (use $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$):

The $rms$ speeds of the molecules of Hydrogen,Oxygen,and Carbon dioxide at the same temperature are $V_{H}$,$V_{O}$,and $V_{C}$ respectively. Then:

The respective speeds of the five molecules are $1, 2, 3, 4$ and $5 \ km/s$. The ratio of their root mean square (rms) velocity to their average velocity is:

For a given gas,the velocities of $5$ molecules are $2, 3, 4, 5,$ and $6$. What is the $rms$ velocity?
