Get started for freeSuppose you double the temperature of a gas at constant volume. Do the following change? If so, by what factor?
a. The average translational kinetic energy of a mole cule.
b. The rms speed of a molecule.
c. The mean free path.
For a monatomic gas, what is the ratio of the volume per atom to the volume of an atom when the mean free path is ten times the atomic diameter?
A monatomic gas and a diatomic gas have equal numbers of moles and equal temperatures. Both are heated at constant pressure until their volume doubles. What is the ratio ?
Atoms can be "cooled" to incredibly low temperatures by letting them interact with a laser beam. Various novel quantum phenomena appear at these temperatures. What is the speed of ?
nitrogen molecules collide with a wall each second. Assume that the molecules all travel with a speed of and strike the wall head-on. What is the pressure on the wall?
