Question

very fine smoke particles are suspended in air. the translational rms speed of a smoke particle is 2.45 10-3 m/s, and the temperature is 288 k. find the mass of a particle?

Answer 1

The mass of a particle is 2.2x10⁻¹⁵ kg

Consider smoke particles as an ideal gas

The translational RMS speed of the smoke particles is 2.45x10⁻³ m/s.

v= √3kT/m

where k= 1.38x10⁻²³J/K, T is 288K, and m is the mass of the smoke particle

2.45x10⁻³ = √3x1.38x10⁻²³x288/m

m= 2.2x10⁻¹⁵ kg

Therefore, the mass of a particle is 2.2x10⁻¹⁵ kg.
