    Using the formula V = (3RT) / M, where "V" is the velocity, "R" is the ideal gas constant, an "M" the molecular mass (expressed in g/mol), and "T" is the temperature (in Kelvin, because I will use an "R" expressed in Kelvin). I would calculate the data as required

    V = sqrt ((3RT) / M)

    The data of my room is:

    R = 8,31447 kg * m^2 * s^-2 * K^-1 * mol^-1

    M (O2) = 0,032 kg/mol

    T = 77 °F - 25 °C - 298 K

    Calculating (avoiding units)

    V = sqrt ((3*8,31447*298) / 0,032)

    V = 481,96 m/s
