Let KEC and KEH denote the average kinetic energy of a CO2 molecule and H2 molecule respectively. Given that a molecule of CO2 has 22 times the mass of a molecule of H2, the ratio KEC/KEH is equal to

In a period of 1.0 s, 5.0 × 10–3 nitrogen molecules strike a wall of area 8.0 cm2. If the molecules move at 300 m/s and strike the wall head-on in a perfectly elastic collision, find the pressure exerted on the wall. (The mass of one N2 molecule is 4.68 × 10–26 kg.)
On the surface of a hypothetical planet X, the atmospheric pressure is 4.25 x 106 Pa, and the temperature is 707 K. On the earth's surface the atmospheric pressure is 1.00 x 105 Pa, while the surface temperature can reach 320 K. These data imply that the planet X has a "thicker" atmosphere at its surface than does the earth, which means that the number of molecules per unit volume (N/V) is greater on the surface of planet X than on the earth. Find the ratio (N/V)X/(N/V)Earth.
