The average kinetic energy of the molecules in a gas sample depends only on the temperature, T. However, given the same kinetic energies, a lighter molecule will move faster than a heavier molecule, as shown in the equation for rms speed 3 RT rms speed where R = 8.314 J/ (mol·K) and M is molar mass in kilograms per mole. Note that a joule is the same as a kilogram-meter squared per second squared (kg-mIs²). What is the rms speed of O, molecules at 307 K? rms speed: m/s What is the rms speed of He atoms at 307 K? rms speed: m/s

A 1.00 L rigid cylinder contains one mole of neon gas at 25 °C. Calculate the pressure using (a) the ideal gas law, and (b) the van der Waals equation. (c) A much more accurate equation is the virial equation, B(T) + V pVm C(T) 1+ RT Vm where B(T) and C(T) are functions of temperature. For neon at 25°C, the values of B(T) and C(T) are 11.42 cm³.mol-1 and 221 cmé.mol2, respectively. Assuming the pressure calculated using the virial equation is the "true" value, determine the percent error by using ideal gas law and van der Waals equation.
