Use Avogadro’s number to find the mass of a helium atom.
Pretend that you live in the 19th century and don't know the value of Avogadro's number* (or of Boltzmann's constant or of the mass or size of any molecule). Show how you could make a rough estimate of Avogadro's number from a measurement of the thermal conductivity of a gas, together with other measurements that are relatively easy.
What happens to the internal energy of a gas during an adiabatic expansion?

- Repeat the preceding problem for nitrogen molecules at 295 K.arrow_forwardOne might think that the internal energy of diatomic gases is given by Eint=5RT/2 . Do diatomic gases near room temperature have more or less internal energy than that? Hint: Their internal energy includes the total energy added in raising the temperature from the boiling point (very low) to room temperature.arrow_forwardA sample of a monatomic ideal gas occupies 5.00 L at atmospheric pressure and 300 K (point A in Fig. P17.68). It is warmed at constant volume to 3.00 atm (point B). Then it is allowed to expand isothermally to 1.00 atm (point C) and at last compressed isobarically to its original state. (a) Find the number of moles in the sample. Find (b) the temperature at point B, (c) the temperature at point C, and (d) the volume at point C. (e) Now consider the processes A B, B C, and C A.
