The correct answer is: 41

Given,

Temperature of Nitrogen gas is 

T1=300 °C=300+273=573 K

Molar mass of H2 gas is MH2=2 g

Molar mass of N2 gas is MN2=28 g

The rms speed of gas is given by

 Vrms=3RTM

Now rms speed of hydrogen gas is equal to rms speed of nitrogen gas, i.e.; VrmsH2=VrmsN2
TH2TN2=MH2MN2

Substitute the given values i above equation, we get,

TH2=228×573

TH2=41 K
