Kinetic-Theory of Gases

Kinetic theory of gases is the model or method which was developed in the 19th century by Maxwell and Boltzmann. This is possible as the interatomic force which is of short-range forces that are important for solids and liquids can be neglected for gases. This theory or gas law gives a molecular interpretation of the pressure and temperature of a gas and is consistent with gas laws and Avogadro’s hypothesis. This theory is very helpful to correctly explain the specific heat capacities of many gases, kinetic energy and it also explains the transport qualities such as viscosity, thermal conductivity, and diffusion with molecular parameters. As stated in the kinetic-molecular theory, the temperature of a substance or gas particle is related to the average kinetic energy of the particles of that substance. When a substance is heated, some of the absorbed energy is stored within the particles, while some of the energy increases the motion of the particles, called average kinetic energy.

An ideal gas confined to a container with a massless piston at the top. A massless wire is attacted to the piston. When an external pressure of 2.00 atm is applied to the wire, the gas compresses from 4.90 to 2.45L. When the external pressure is increased to 2.50 atm, the gas futher compresses from 2.45 to 1.96L In a seperate experiment with the same initial conditions of 2.50 atm was applied to the ideal gas, decreasing its volume from 4.90 to 1.96L in one step. If the final temperture was the same for both processes, what is the difference between q for the two step pocess and q for the one process in joules?
Experimental data shows that the atmosphere of planet X is composed of pure carbon dioxide, with the pressure on ground level being 700 Pa. The temperature of the atmosphere is also found to decrease linearly with elevation, such that the temperature drops 10 degrees Celsius for every 5m elevation. With the help of the data and equations below, estimate the pressure 50m above ground level. Assume that the temperature at the surface of Planet X is (-60) degrees Celsius. dp/p + gM/RT(dZ) = 0 for planet B, g =5.2m/s^2 N2 = 28 g/mol

5 Calculate the mass of carbon monoxide gas (in mg) dissolved in 9.8L tank exposed to a pressure of 1.13 atm of air at 25˚C.

Global warming’s drastic effect were attributed to the rapid accumulation of “greenhouse gases”in the atmosphere. Naming carbon dioxide as its major contributor, is formed when fossil fuels arecombusted in different power plants (e.g. fuel powered, namely by coal, oil, or natural gas). Some of thepotential way to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide that is added to atmosphere is to compress the gasin underground formations. We can consider this with a 1000-MW coal-fired power plant that produces an amount of 6.0 × 10^6tons of CO2 per year. (a) In an ideal gas – or perfect gas behavior, 1.00 atm, 27°C, calculate the volume of the carbon dioxide produced by the power plant mentioned. (b) What volumecan we obtain if CO2 (liquid form) stored in underground has an equation of state as 10 °C, 120 atm, anddensity of 1.2 g/cm^3? (c) Storing this underground as gas [on another note] at 36 °C and 90 atm, whatvolume can it occupy? Is the volume is larger or smaller than in liquid form? Explain.

At an altitude of 11,000 m (a typical cruising altitude for a jet airliner), the air temperature is -50.0 ∘C and the air density is 0.303 kg/m3. The molar mass of air is 28.8 g/mol. What is the pressure of the atmosphere at that altitude? (Note: The temperature at this altitude is not the same as at the surface of the earth, so the equation P=P0exp(−MgyRT)P=P0exp(−MgyRT) doesn't apply.) Express your answer with the appropriate units.
