The maximum height at which nitrogen molecule will go before coming to rest is 14 kilometers.
Given:
The nitrogen gas molecule with a temperature of 330 Kelvins is released from Earth's surface to travel upward.
To find:
The maximum height of a nitrogen molecule when released from the Earth's surface before coming to rest.
Solution:
- The maximum height attained by nitrogen gas molecule = h
- The temperature of nitrogen gas particle = T = 330 K
The average kinetic energy of the gas particles is given by:
The nitrogen molecule at its maximum height will have zero kinetic energy as all the kinetic energy will get converted into potential energy
- The potential energy at height h =
- Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28.0134 g/mol
- Mass of nitrogen gas molecule = m
- The acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s^2
- The maximum height attained by nitrogen gas molecule = h
- The potential energy is given by:
The maximum height at which nitrogen molecule will go before coming to rest is 14 kilometers.
