If you double the typical speed of the molecules in a gas, by what factor does the pressure change? Give a simple explanation why the pressure changes by this factor.
If the pressure of an ideal monatomic gas is increased while the number of moles is kept constant, what happens to the average translational kinetic energy of one atom of the gas? Is it possible to change both the volume and the pressure of an ideal gas and keep the average translational kinetic energy of the atoms constant? Explain.
The most probable speed for molecules of a gas at 296 K is 263 m/s. What is the molar mass of the gas? (You might like to figure out what the gas is likely to be.)
