This is an interactive homework problem relating to the kinetic theory of gases. It features a syringe that has just been used and now lies empty. The syringe must be heated to high temperatures to sterilize it. Using the information given in the problem, the user is asked to find the rms speed of the oxygen molecules.

This problem is accompanied by a Socratic-dialog "help" sequence designed to encourage critical thinking as users do a guided conceptual analysis before attempting the mathematics. It is part of a larger collection of interactive problems developed by the Illinois Physics Education Research Group.
SEE RELATED ITEMS BELOW for a link to the full set of problems developed by the author for an introductory course on mechanics and heat.
