Calculate the rms speed of an oxygen molecule at 0?C.

answer: 461 m/s

Determine how many times per second each molecule moving with rms speed would move back and forth across a 7.3 m long room on the average, assuming it made very few collisions with other molecules.

To find V_x use the equation v²=v_x²+v_y²+v_z² and the fact that molecules have no preferred direction.
