The rms speed of molecules in a gas is 678 m/s

What will be the rms speed if the gas pressure and volume are bothdoubled?



Vrms = √(3KbT/M) = (1/3)(N/V)v^2rms=P

678m/s= 2(P*V)

I got part a) using KE = (3/2) KT where K is Boltzmann's constant.Ifound T using PV=nRT.
However, I don't know how to use Vrms. I know the equationis√(3KT)/m. The tricky part is finding m. I think I shoulduse1amu=1.67e-27 but I don't know conversion factor. Thanks a lotforhelping.
