Unreasonable results. (a) Find the sped of hydrogen sulfide, H2S, molecules at a temperature of 250 K. Its molar mass is 31.4 g/mol (b) The result isn't very unreasonable, but why is it less reliable than those for, say, neon or nitrogen?
Experimentally it appears that many polyatomic molecules' vibrational degrees of freedom can contribute to some extent to their energy at room temperature. Would you expect that fact to increase or decrease their heat capacity from the value R? Explain.
Using the method of the preceding problem, estimate the fraction of nitric oxide (NO) molecules at a temperature of 250 K that have energies between 3.451021 J and 3.501021 J. `
Find the total number of collisions between molecules in 1.00 s in 1.00 L of nitrogen gas at standard temperature and (0 , 1.00 atm). Use 1.881010 m as the effective radius of a nitrogen molecule. (The number of collisions per second is the reciprocal of the collision time.) Keep in mind that each collision involves two molecules, so if one molecule collides once in a certain period of time, the collision of the molecule it hit cannot be counted. `
The escape velocity from the Moon is much smaller than from Earth and is only 2.38km/s. At what temperature would hydrogen molecules (molecular mass is equal to 2.01ftg/mol ) have an average velocity vrms equal to the Moon’s escape velocity?
Compute the average kinetic energy of a gas molecule at 27C. Express results in electron volts. If the gas ishydrogen, what is the order of magnitude of the velocity of the molecules at 27C.
A box contains N molecules. Consider two configurations:configuration A with an equal division of the molecules betweenthe two halves of the box, and configuration B with 60.0% of themolecules in the left half of the box and 40.0% in the right half. ForN = 50, what are (a) the multiplicity WA of configuration A, (b) themultiplicityWB of configuration B, and (c) the ratio fB/A of the timethe system spends in configuration B to the time it spends in configurationA? For N = 100, what are (d) WA, (e) WB, and (f) fB/A?For N = 200, what are (g) WA, (h) WB, and (i) fB/A? ( j) With increasingN, does f increase, decrease, or remain the same?
Determine how many times per second each molecule moving with rms speed would move back and forth across a 6.6 mm-long room on average, assuming it made very few collisions with other molecules.To find Vx use the equation v^2=v^2x+v^2y+v^2zand the fact that molecules have no preferred direction.
Rather than insisting that all the molecules be in the left half of a container, suppose we only require that they be in the leftmost 99% (leaving the remaining 1% completely empty). What is the probability of finding such an arrangement if there are 100 molecules in the container? What if there are 10,000 molecules? What if there are 1023 ?
