A)An ideal gas is confined to a container at a temperature of 330 K.What is the average kinetic energy of an atom of the gas? (Express your answer to two significant figures.)   B)2.00 mol of the helium is confined to a 2.00-L container at a pressure of 11.0 atm. The atomic mass of helium is 4.00 u, and the conversion between u and kg is 1 u = 1.661 ××10−27 kg.Calculate vrmsvrms. (Express your answer to three significant figures.)   C)A gold (coefficient of linear expansion α=14×10−6K−1α=14×10−6K−1 ) pin is exactly 4.00 cm long when its temperature is 180∘∘C. Find the decrease in long of the pin when it cools to 28.0∘∘C? (Express your answer to two significant figures.)
Suppose we have a macroscopic amount (~ moles) of argon gas in thermodynamic equilibrium at STP conditions. In this case, the velocities of the gas atoms follow the Maxwell and Boltzmann distribution with very good accuracy. Which of the following statements is/are true? Select one or more: a. When heating a gas, the ratio of the average speed of the molecules to the most probable speed increases. b.Heating the gas would lead to a shift of the most probable speed of the momentum distribution to a lower value, while the relative number of high-speed atoms would increase. c. Replacing argon atoms with helium atoms would lead to a momentum distribution in equilibrium, the most probable momentum of which would shift to a higher value and the relative number of high-speed atoms would increase.
