Detailed Solution

Given, ρ = 0.09 kg m-3

Pressure, p (at STP) 1.01 × 105 Pa
According to kinetic theory of gas,
               p = (1/3)ρv2

          v=3pρ=3×1.01×1050.09

                 = 1834.85 ms-1

Now, volume occupied by one mole of hydrogen at STP

                                  = 22.4 L = 22.4 × 10-3m3

     Mass of hydrogen = Volume × Density
                                 = 22.4 × 10-3 × 0.09  = 2.016 × 10-3 kg

  Average kinetic energy per mol =12mv2

                                =12×2.016×10-3×(1834.85)2

                                = 3403 J
