In a gas that is a mixture of water (two H and one O) and carbon dioxide (one C and two O), if the water has average velocity of 347 m/s, what is the average velocity of the carbon dioxide molecule? Give your answer as number in units of m/s without entering the units.
Consider neon, a noble gas whose molecules consist of single atoms of atomic mass 0.02 kg/mol. What is the average kinetic energy of a neon atom when the gas is at a temperature of 260 K? Avogadro’s number is 6.02 × 1023 mol−1 and Boltzmann’s constant is 1.38 × 10−23 J/K. Answer in units of J What is the root mean square speed of a neon atom under such conditions? Answer in units of m/s. The internal energy of a monoatomic ideal gas such as neon is simply the total kinetic energy of all its atoms. What is the internal energy of 4 liters of neon at a temperature of 260 K and pressure of 0.89 atm? Answer in units of J.
