Maxwell speed distribution

Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution or commonly known as Maxwell speed distribution, explains the division of the energy levels of the molecules of an ideal gas on the basis of the statistical theory. In 1859, Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell established the context for the distribution of molecular velocities for random molecules moving in a closed environment. This theory was generalized in 1871 by German physicist Ludwig Boltzmann. He improvised the theory to express the distribution of energy levels among different molecules.

(a) Repeat Exercise 31.2, and convert the energy to joules or calories. (b) If all of this energy is converted to thermal energy in the gas, what is its temperature increase, assuming 50.0 cm3 of ideal gas at 0.250atm pressure? (The small answer is consistent with the fact that the energy is large on a quantum mechanical scale but small on a macroscopic scale.)
According to kinetic theory, the molecules of ordinary matter are in constant random motion. The probability that a molecule has kinetic energy in a small interval [E, E + △E] is approximately (1/kT) e (E/kT), where T is the temperature (in kelvins) & k Boltzmann's constant. Commute the average kinetic energy Ē in terms of K & T, where ∞ Ē = (1/kT) ∫ Ee (E/kT)dE ⁰
A research group recently made an interesting discovery, while studying laser interactions with molecular gases. They found that nitrous oxide molecules (mass 44.013 g per mole) can reach temperatures exceeding 1,648 degrees Celsius after a interacting with a few closely-spaced (in time) laser pulses. At this temperature, what is the rms speed (in m/s) of a nitrous oxide molecule?
A molecule has states with the following energies: 0, 1ε, 2ε, 3ε, and 4ε, where ε = 1.0 x 10-20 J.

Note that the average number of molecules in a state is just the probability that a molecule is in the state times the number of molecules. Provide your answer as a number in normal form.

A molecule has states with the following energies: 0, 1ε, 2ε, 3ε, and 4ε, where ε = 1.0 x 10-20 J. Calculate the probability that a molecule is in the ground state (with zero energy) for a collection of molecules in thermal equilibrium at T = 300 K. Provide your answer as a number in normal form to 3 decimal places (in the form X.XXX). It is a good idea to keep 4 decimal places during your calculation, then round to 3 decimal places for your submitted answer. Hint: note that this molecule has a finite number of states so you must take a finite sum, do not use expressions for infinite sums. Also note that your calculations for this problem will be useful for the next two problems, so keep them.

A thermocouple, with a spherical junction diameter of 0.5 mm, is used for measuring the temperature of hot air flow in a circular duct. The convection heat transfer coefficient of the air flow can be related with the diameter (D) of the spherical junction and the average air flow velocity (V) as h = 2.2(V/D)0.5, where D, h, and V are in m, W/m2?K and m/s, respectively. The properties of the thermocouple junction are k = 35 W/m?K, r = 8500 kg/m3, and cp = 320 J/kg?K. Determine the minimum air flow velocity that the thermocouple can be used, if the maximum response time of the thermocouple to register 99 percent of the initial temperature difference is 5 s.
