A. What is the RMS speed of Helium atoms when the temperature of the Helium gas is 343.0 K? (Possibly useful constants: the atom

ic mass of Helium is 4.00 AMU, the Atomic Mass Unit is: 1 AMU = 1.66×10^-27 kg, Boltzmann's constant is: kB = 1.38×10^-23 J/K.)
b. What would be the RMS speed, if the temperature of the Helium gas was doubled?

Answer:

(a) 1462.38 m/s

(b) 2068.13 m/s

Explanation:

(a)

The Kinetic energy of the atom can be given as:

K.E = (3/2)KT

where,

K = Boltzman's Constant = 1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/k

K.E = Kinetic Energy of atoms = 343 K

T = absolute temperature of atoms

The K.E is also given as:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

Comparing both equations:

(1/2)mv² = (3/2)KT

v² = 3KT/m

v = √[3KT/m]

where,

m = mass of Helium = (4 A.M.U)(1.66 X 10⁻²⁷ kg/ A.M.U) = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

v = RMS Speed of Helium Atoms = ?

Therefore,

v = √[(3)(1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/K)(343 K)/(6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg)]

<u>v = 1462.38 m/s</u>

(b)

For double temperature:

T = 2 x 343 K = 686 K

all other data remains same:

v = √[(3)(1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/K)(686 K)/(6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg)]

<u>v = 2068.13 m/s</u>

A sample of a gas has a volume of 639 cm3 when the pressure is 75.9 kPa. What is the volume of the gas when the pressure is incr
const2013 [10]

Answer:

388 cm^3

Explanation:

For this problem, we can use Boyle's law, which states that for a gas at constant temperature, the product between pressure and volume remains constant:

pV=const.

which can also be rewritten as

p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2

In our case, we have:

p_1 = 75.9 kPa is the initial pressure

V_1 = 639 cm^3 is the initial volume

p_2 = 125 kPa is the final pressure

Solving for V2, we find the final volume:

v_2 = \frac{p_1 V_1}{p_2}=\frac{(75.9)(639)}{125}=388 cm^3
