(II) Is a gas mostly empty space? Check by assuming that
the spatial extent of the gas molecules in air is about
lo = 0.3 nm so one gas molecule occupies an approximate
volume equal to l . Assume STP.
(II) Show that the rms speed of molecules in a gas is given
by vrms = V3P/p, where P is the pressure in the gas and
pis the gas density.
(II) The lowest pressure attainable using the best availablevacuum techniques is about 10-12 N/m2 At such a pressure,how many molecules are there per cm3 at 0°C?
