A characteristic momentum for a particle in an ideal gas


A characteristic momentum for a particle in an ideal gas canbe found by the relationp2/(2m)=(3/2)kT wherek is Boltzmann's constant. k=1.38x10-23J/K.

(a) For a gas of helium at 293 K (room temperature),what is the characteristic momentum?

(b) What is the characteristic de Broglie wavelength at thistemperature?
