A thermos bottle (Dewar vessel) has an evacuated space between its inner and outer walls to diminish the rate of transfer of the

rmal energy to or from the bottle’s contents. For good insulation, the mean free path of the residual gas (air; average molecular mass 5 29) should be at least 10 times the distance between the inner and outer walls, which is about 1.0 cm. What should be the maximum residual gas pressure in the evacuated space if T 5 300 K? Take an average diameter of d 5 3.1 × 10210 m for the molecules in the air.

There are quite a bunch of typo errors in the question; here is the correct question below:

A thermos bottle (Dewar vessel) has an evacuated space between its inner and outer walls to diminish the rate of transfer of thermal energy to or from the bottle’s contents. For good insulation, the mean free path of the residual gas (air; average molecular mass = 29) should be at least 10 times the distance between the inner and outer walls, which is about 1.0 cm. What should be the maximum residual gas pressure in the evacuated space if T = 300 K? Take an average diameter of d = 3.1 × 10⁻¹⁰ m for the molecules in the air.

Answer:

9.57 × 10⁻⁷ atm

Explanation:

The mean free path ( λ ) can be illustrated by the equation:

λ =   \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} \pi d{^2}N/V }     ----------  (1)

N/V = \frac{N_AP}{RT}                      ------------- (2)

From the above relation, we can deduce that;

P=  \frac{RT}{\sqrt{2}\pi d{^2}N{_A}λ }     -------------(3)

let I=  λ

From the above equations;

d= diameter of the atom

{N_A} = avogadro's constant

P= pressure

R= universal rate constant which is given by 0.08206 L atm mol⁻¹ k⁻¹

T= temperature

From the question, we are given that the mean free path of the residual air molecules ( d = 3.1 × 10⁻¹⁰ m) is equal to 10cm = 0.1m

Therefore, we can determine the pressure using equation (3)

i.e

P=  \frac{RT}{\sqrt{2}\pi d{^2}N{_A}λ }

=  \frac{(8.314J{K^-^1)(300K)}}{\sqrt{2}(3.14)(3.1*10^{-10}m)^2(6.022*10^{23}mol^{-1})(0.1m) }

=97.06 × 10⁻³ Pa   ×   \frac{1atm}{1.01325*10^5Pa}

=9.57 ×  10⁻⁷  atm

Therefore, the maximum residual gas pressure in the calculated space is; 9.57 ×  10⁻⁷  atm

In bohr's atomic theory, when an electron moves from one energy level to another energy level more distant from the nucleus,
labwork [276]

Answer is: energy is absorbed.

According to the Bohr model of the atom:

1. Electrons orbit the nucleus in orbits that have a set size and energy.

2. Energy levels of electrons are discrete (certain discrete values of energy).

3. Electrons can jump from one energy level to another, absorbing or emitting electromagnetic radiation with a frequency ν (energy difference of the levels).

Is this atom more likely to gain electrons or to lose electrons? Explain how you can tell
elena55 [62]

Answer:

Likely to gain electrons

Explanation:

The atom shown is likely to gain additional electrons to complete its electronic configuration.

  • Since this is a neutral specie, the number of protons and electrons are the same.
  • The atom has 16 electrons
  • the number of valence electrons is 6
  • If the atom gains two additional electrons, the octet configuration is attained
  • Also, the atom can lose 6 electrons to become an octet

The atom will prefer to gain additional 2 electrons to give an octet configuration.
