M is molar mass. Since you're taking hydrogen gas, you have a diatomic gas

u can also think of it this way , if i take 1kg of Hydrogen and 1g of hydrogen under same conditions and ignoring micro interacctions it will have same rms so M cant be total mass and anyways it is molar mass

Yeah, that's if you use pressure. If you have RT, you need to account for the number of moles, so the denominator basically becomes mass/n = molar mass
