- Investigate the dependence of pV on V for real gases.arrow_forwardThe heat capacity ratio of a gas determines the speed of sound in it through the formula cs = (γRT/M)1/2, where γ = Cp,m/CV,m and M is the molar mass of the gas. Deduce an expression for the speed of sound in a perfect gas of (a) diatomic, (b) linear triatomic, (c) nonlinear triatomic molecules at high temperatures (with translation and rotation active). Estimate the speed of sound in air at 25 °C. Hint: Note that Cp,m − CV,m = R for a perfect gas.arrow_forwardRearrange the van der Waals equation of state, p = nRT/(V − nb) − n2a/V2(Topic 1C) to give an expression for T as a function of p and V (with n constant). Calculate (∂T/∂p)V and confirm that (∂T/∂p)V = 1/(∂p/∂T)V.arrow_forward

Find, by differentiation, an expression for the most probable speed of molecules of molar mass M at a temperature T.arrow_forwardWhat is the temperature of a two-level system of energy separation equivalent to 400 cm−1 when the population of the upper state is one-third that of the lower state?arrow_forward(a) Express (∂Cp/∂P)T as a second derivative of H and find its relation to (∂H/∂P)T. (b) From the relationships found in (a), show that (∂Cp/∂V)T=0 for a perfect gas.arrow_forward

- Derive the work of reversible isothermal compression of a van der Waals gas. How does it compare to the work needed to compress the ideal gas in the limit of (a) low pressure, and (b) high pressure? Calculate the work done by a sample of Ar of mass 7.60 g that initially occupies 1.750 dm3 at 350 K, and expands reversibly and isothermally by 0.350 dm3 . Assume that argon obeys the van der Waals equation of state with a = 1.373 Pa m6 mol−2 and b = 3.200 × 10−5 m3 mol−1 .
