Expert Solution
Step 1
  • Average kinetic energy(K.E.):- It is defined as the 3/2 of the product of Universal gas constant (R) and the temperature(T) per mole. That is,

         K.E.=32RT

  • K.E. is directly proportional to T that is if T increases then K.E. also increases and vise- versa.
  • Root mean square velocity(vrms):- It is the square root of the mean of squares of the velocities of individual gases.

         vrms=3RTM

        where,

        T= temperature[in kelvin(K)]

        R= Universal gas constant (0.08205L.atm.mol-1K-1)

        M= molecular mass of gas

  • Number of molecules(N) is the product of number of moles(n) and the Avogadro number(NA =6.022×1023).

        N=n×NA

  • Number of moles(n) is the ratio of mass (m) of compound (in g) and the molar mass (M') of compound(in g/mol).

        n=m(in g)M'(in g/mol)
