A hypothetical speed distribution of gas molecules is defined as follows:
P(v) = 0 for 0≤v < vo
P(v) = 0.21 for vo ≤ v << 2vo
P(v) = 0 for 2v0 < v
where P(v) is the probability distribution as a function of speed, v.
a)
Use the normalisation condition to find the value of v.
b)
What percentage of the gas molecules has its speed between vo and/vo?
c)
What percentage of the gas molecules has its speed between 0 and 2 ?
In a certain physical system, there are two energy states available to a particle: the ground state with energy E₁ = 0 eV, and the excited state with energy E₂ = 1.5 eV.
The system is in thermal equilibrium at a temperature T = 300 K.
Calculate the Gibbs factor (also known as the Boltzmann factor) for the excited state .
Give your answer to two decimal places.
Problem 6: There are lots of examples of ideal gases in the universe, and they exist in many different conditions. In this problem we will examine what the temperature of these various phenomena are.
Part (a) Give an expression for the temperature of an ideal gas in terms of pressure P, particle density per unit volume ρ, and fundamental constants.
T = P/( ρ kB )
Part (b) Near the surface of Venus, its atmosphere has a pressure fv= 96 times the pressure of Earth's atmosphere, and a particle density of around ρv = 0.92 × 1027 m-3. What is the temperature of Venus' atmosphere (in C) near the surface?
Part (c) The Orion nebula is one of the brightest diffuse nebulae in the sky (look for it in the winter, just below the three bright stars in Orion's belt). It is a very complicated mess of gas, dust, young star systems, and brown dwarfs, but let's estimate its temperature if we assume it is a uniform ideal gas. Assume it is a sphere of radius r = 5.8 × 1015 m (around 6 light years)…

- The Earth reradiates the energy it receives from the Sun as a black body. We can calculate the effective temperature of the Earth using the Stefan-Boltzmann equation F = sT4 where we solve for the Temperature T. We use for the energy flux the amount of energy absorbed per second Le divided by the Earth's surface area from which the energy is radiated 4pd2 so that the flux is = Le/(4pd2). Here d is the radius of the Earth given above and s is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant. And the effective temperature is:Te4 = (Le/(4pd2))/s = Le/(4spd2) = __________________ K4and taking the square root of Te4 twice in succession we get the effective Temperature Te:Te = [Le/(4spd2)]0.25 = _________________ Kfor the temperature of the effective Earth.

In reality, each molecule has a small volume and so there are collisions. Let's assume that a molecule is a hard sphere of radius r. Then the molecules will occasionally collide with each other. The average distance traveled between two successive collisions (called mean free path) is λ = V/(4π √2 r2N) where V is the volume of the gas containing N molecules. Calculate the mean free path of a H2 molecule in a hydrogen gas tank at STP. Assume the molecular radius to be 10-10 a) 2.1*10-7 m b) 4.2*10-7 m c) none of these.arrow_forward
