At what temperature, hydrogen molecules will escape from the earth’s surface ? (Take mass of hydrogen molecule = 0.34 × 10–6 kg, Boltzmann constant = 1.38 × 10–23 KJ–1, Radius of earth=6.4 × 106m and acceleration due to gravity=9.8 ms–2)

a
1014 K
b
102 K
c
1024 K
d
104 K

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Vrms=Ve;  3kTm=2gR T=2mgR3kT=2×0.34×10-26×9.8×6.4×1063×1.38×10-23 K =104 K
