-- If acceleration and velocity are in the same direction,
then the object is speeding up.

-- If acceleration and velocity are in opposite directions,
then the object is slowing down.

-- If acceleration is perpendicular to velocity, then the object
is moving on a circular curve at constant speed.

What is the average de Broglie wavelength of oxygen molecules in air at a temperature of 27°C? Use the results of the kinetic th

asambeis [7]

Answer:

$\lambda = 2.57 \times 10^{-11} m$

Explanation:

Average velocity of oxygen molecule at given temperature is

$v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}$

now we have

M = 32 g/mol = 0.032 kg/mol

T = 27 degree C = 300 K

now we have

$v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3(8.31)(300)}{0.032}$

$v_{rms} = 483.4 m/s$

now for de Broglie wavelength we know that

$\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}$

$\lambda = \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{(5.31\times 10^{-26})(483.4)}$

$\lambda = 2.57 \times 10^{-11} m$

This equation is used to calculate the properties of a gas under nonideal conditions.

goblinko [34]

Answer:

Van der Waal's equation

Explanation:

The Van der Waal's equation is use to calculate the properties of a gas under nonideal or real gases conditions.

$(P + \frac{an^2}{V^2})(V-nb) = nRT$ .

Here P, V ,T ,n and R have usual meaning as in the ideal gas equation

that is PV=nRT

with the difference of constant a and b. a and b are constants representing magnitude of intermolecular attraction and excluded volume respectively respectively.
