- Helium is a very important element for both industrial and research applications. In its gas form it can be used for welding, and since it has a very low melting point (only 0.95 K under 2.5 MPa) it can be used in liquid form to cool superconducting magnets, such as those found in particle physics experiments. Say we have a cylinder of n = 105 moles of Helium gas at room temperature (T= 20° C). The cylinder has a radius of r = 16.5 cm and a height h = 1.31 m. What pressure (in kPa) is the helium gas under? P = Helium is usually kept in the highest pressure gas cylinders, which can typically withstand at least 500 atm of pressure. Would the tank in part (a) be able to maintain its structural integrity? In principle, these tanks could fail if the temperature of the Helium started rising - if they were stored in a hot environment, for instance. To determine how much of a danger this is, calculate the temperature (in C) the Helium gas would have to be to make the tank start to crack.

- A bottle of volume V = 0.15 m³ contains helium gas (a monatomic gas) at a pressure p = 722,266 Pa (Pascal = N/m² and temperature T = 300 K. Calculate a numerical value for the internal energy U of this gas. Include units in your answer, using Sl units (m for meters, kg for kilograms, s for seconds, J for joules, K for kelvin, etc.). Write your answer as an exponential as described in the instructions.arrow_forwardIn the simple kinetic theory of a gas we discussed in class, the molecules are assumed to be point-like objects (without any volume) so that they rarely collide with one another. In reality, each molecule has a small volume and so there are collisions. Let's assume that a molecule is a hard sphere of radius r. Then the molecules will occasionally collide with each other. The average distance traveled between two successive collisions (called mean free path) is λ = V/(4π √2 r2N) where V is the volume of the gas containing N molecules. Calculate the mean free path of a H2 molecule in a hydrogen gas tank at STP. Assume the molecular radius to be 10-10 a) 2.1*10-7 m b) 4.2*10-7 m c) none of these.arrow_forwardThere are two important isotopes of uranium, 235 U and 238 U ; these isotopes are nearly identical chemically but have different atomic masses. Only 235 U is very useful in nuclear reactors. Separating the isotopes is called uranium enrichment (and is often in the news as of this writing, because of concerns that some countries are enriching uranium with the goal of making nuclear weapons.) One of the techniques for enrichment, gas diffusion, is based on the different molecular speeds of uranium hexafluoride gas, UF6 . (a) The molar masses of 235 U and 238 UF6 are 349.0 g/mol and 352.0 g/mol, respectively. What is the ratio of their typical speeds vrms ? (b) At what temperature would their typical speeds differ by1.00 m/s? (c) Do your answers in this problem imply that this technique may be difficult?arrow_forward
