Answer 6

You can treat the velocity given in the question as the rms speed of the nitrogen gas. Using the equation for rms speed, you can calculate the temperature that gives rise to this speed (i.e. the "experimental conditions" the question refers to).

Then, set up a second rms equation using the temperature just calculated, as well as the molar mass of hydrogen sulfide, to find your answer!

Answer 7

@hartnn can someone show me an example or somethi g i dont understand his explanation.

Answer 8

RMS stands for root mean square. The equation I was referring to is this:

\[v_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}\]
You should be able to answer the question with this equation.
