A kinetic theory formula relating the pressure p and the volume V of a gas to the root-mean-square speed of its molecules is p=\frac{1}{3}\ \frac{Nm}{V} In this formula, what does the product Nm represent?

• the number of molecules in unit volume of the gas

• the total number of molecules in one mole of gas

• the total number of molecules  present in volume V

• the mass of gas present in volume V

• the average of the squares of the speeds of the gas molecules

• the root-mean-square of the gas molecules

• the square of the average speed of the gas molecules

• the sum of the squares of the speeds of the gas molecules

The density of argon at a pressure of 1.00x10⁵Pa and at a temperature of 300 K is 1.60 kg m¯³. What is the root-mean-square speed of argon molecules at this temperature?
