- To give a helium atom nonzero angular momentum requires about 21.2 eV of energy (that is, 21.2 eV is the difference between the energies of the lowest-energy or ground state and the lowest-energy state with angular momentum). The electron-volt or eV is defined as 1.60 × 10−19 J. Find the temperature T where this amount of energy equals kB T/2. Does this explain why we can ignore the rotational energy of helium for most purposes? (The results for other monatomic gases, and for diatomic gases rotating around the axis connecting the two atoms, have comparable orders of magnitude.)arrow_forwardAn ideal gas consists of 2.50 mol of diatomic molecules that rotate but do not oscillate.

In general, you should use the Kelvin scale (for which T=0 represents absolute zero) in such calculations. This is because the standard thermodynamic equations (i.e., the ideal gas law and the formula for energy of a gas in terms of temperature) assume that zero degrees represents absolute zero. a) The average kinetic energy of the molecules of an ideal gas at 10∘C has the value K10. At what temperature T1 (in degrees Celsius) will the average kinetic energy of the same gas be twice this value, 2K10? b) The molecules in an ideal gas at 10∘C have a root-mean-square (rms) speed vrms. At what temperature T2 (in degrees Celsius) will the molecules have twice the rms speed, 2vrms?arrow_forward
