prove average total kinetic energy = 2kT for gas molecules crossing a spherical area, with the following equations.
At what frequency do molecules (diameter 290 pm) collide in (an ideal) oxygen gas (O2) at temperature 400 K and pressure 2.00 atm?
Real gases For helium gas, the critical temperature is Tk=5.2K and the critical pressure is Pk=0.23x10^6 Pa. Assuming that the helium gas obeys the Van der Waals equation, calculate the Van der Waals constants a and b, and the density of helium in the critical state.
