container.
(b) On the same graph, sketch the distribution for the same container
at a lower temperature, clearly labelling the new curve.

In a Gas Law Experiment, when the volume is doubled and absolute temperature of a fixed amount of gas is halved, the pressure of the gas is … (choose a, b, c or d as answer) (a) one-fourth of the original pressure (b) half of the original pressure (c) the same as the original pressure (d) double the original pressure. Explain your choice.
Interstellar space is quite different from the gaseous environments we commonly encounter on Earth. For instance, a typical density of the medium is about 1 atom cm−3 and that atom is typically H; the effective temperature due to stellar background radiation is about 10 kK. Estimate the diffusion coefficient and thermal conductivity of H under these conditions. Compare your answers with the values for gases under typical terrestrial conditions. Comment: Energy is in fact transferred much more effectively by radiation.
hi, please I need answer for a,b and c.
If a (non-ideal) gas has non-negligible attractive intermolecular forces, would you expect the temperature to increase, decrease, or stay the same during an iso-enthalpic expansion of the gas? Explain your reasoning.
Escape speed from near Earth’s surface is 1.1 x 104 m/s. (a) Find the temperature required for helium gas to have an rms speed equal to that escape speed. (b) Your answer to (a) is much higher than temperatures on Earth. Why then does helium escape from Earth’s atmosphere?
A vessel contains 1.00 × 104 oxygen molecules at 500 K. (a) Make an accurate graph of the Maxwell speed distribution function versus speed with points at speed intervals of 100 m/s. (b) Determine the most probable speed from thisgraph. (c) Calculate the average and rms speeds for the molecules and label these points on your graph. (d) From the graph, estimate the fraction of molecules with speeds in the range 300 m/s to 600 m/s.
