The average translational kinetic energy for a molecule (Erans) is given
by the following equation:
Etrans =mv?
Where m is the mass of the molecule and v? is the average of the square
of the velocity. Given v2 = 3kT/m where k is the Boltzmann's constant,
calculate the ratio of the kinetic energies at 200 °C and 100 °C
Avagadro's number (6.023 × 1023) is a pure (unitless) number which serves as a good standard for measuring the number of molecules in ideal gases at STP.
A)What is the volume, in cubic kilometers, of Avogadro’s number of sand grains, if each grain is a cube with an edge length of 1.3 mm and the cubes are densely packed (with no air between them).
B) How long, in kilometers, would a beach have to be for this sand to cover it to a depth of 10.0 m? Assume a beach is 100.0 m wide, and you can neglect the air spaces between the grains.
