Answer

$-246^{\circ}C$

Work Step by Step

$v_{rms}=\sqrt {\frac{3k_{B}T}{m}}$ Given that $v_{rms}$ for $H_{2}$ and $N_{2}$ are equal. $\implies (\frac{3k_{B}T_{H_{2}}}{m_{H_{2}}})^{1/2}= (\frac{3k_{B}T_{N_{2}}}{m_{N_{2}}})^{1/2}$ $\implies T_{H_{2}}=\frac{m_{H_{2}}}{m_{N_{2}}}\times T_{N_{2}}$ $T_{N_{2}}=100^{\circ} C=(100+273)K=373\,K$ $T_{H_{2}}=\frac{2u}{28u}(373\,K)=27\,K$ $=(27-273)^{\circ}C=-246^{\circ}C$
