The temperature and pressure in the Sun'...

The temperature and pressure in the Sun's atmosphere are `2.00 xx 10^6 ` K and 0.0300 Pa. Calculate the rms speed of free electrons (mass `9.11 xx 10^(-31)` kg) there, assuming they are an ideal gas.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To calculate the root mean square (rms) speed of free electrons in the Sun's atmosphere, we can use the formula for rms speed given by: \[ v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}} \] Where: - \( R \) is the universal gas constant, approximately \( 8.314 \, \text{J/(mol K)} \) ...
