An approximate solution can be found if we combine Equations 1.4 and 1.5:

_!_ mJ7 2 = e;olecular

kT = e;olecular

.-. v l:
Assume the temperature is 22 °C. The mass of a single oxygen molecule is m = 5.14 x 10-26 kg .
Substitute and solve:

V = 487.6 [mis]
The molecules are traveling really, fast (around the length of five ḟootball ḟields every second).

Comment:
We can get a better solution by using the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution oḟ speeds that is
sketched in Ḟigure 1.4. Looking up the quantitative expression ḟor this expression, we have:


ḟ ( v)dv = 4;r(_!!!_) 31

exp{ -_!!! v }v dv
2;rkT 2kT

where.ḟ(v) is the ḟraction oḟ molecules within dv oḟ the speed v. We can ḟind the average speed
by integrating the expression above

We have the ḟollowing two points that relate the Reamur temperature scale to the Celsius scale:

(o °C, 0 °Reamur) and (100 °C, 80 °Reamur)

Create an equation using the two points:

T (0 Reamur) = 0.8 T(° Celsius) At

22 °C,

T = 17.6 °Reamur
