- Two perfectly rigid containers each hold the same amount of n moles of ideal gas. The first container has a monoatomic gas in it. It takes 7. x 103 Joules of heat to change the temperature of the monoatomic gas from 300 K to 500 K. How much heat will be needed to change the temperature of the diatomic gas in the second container from 100 K to 400 K? Let R = 8.314 J/moles · K.arrow_forwardAn ideal gas consists of 2.50 mol of diatomic molecules that rotate but do not oscillate. The molecular diameter is 118 pm.

- 2.00 mol of helium and 1.00 mol of argon are separated by a very thin barrier. Initially the helium has 7500 J of thermal energy. The helium gains 2500 J of energy as the gases interact and come to thermal equilibrium by exchanging energy via collisions at the boundary. What was the initial temperature of the argon? First, what is the equilibrium temperature of the two gases? Express your answer in kelvins. ► View Available Hint(s) Tf = Submit Part B VE ΑΣΦ help What is the thermal energy of the argon at the equilibrium temperature? Express your answer with the appropriate units.arrow_forwardWhen doing numerical calculations involving temperature, you need to pay particular attention to the temperature scale you are using. In general, you should use the Kelvin scale (for which T=0 represents absolute zero) in such calculations. This is because the standard thermodynamic equations (i.e., the ideal gas law and the formula for energy of a gas in terms of temperature) assume that zero degrees represents absolute zero. a) The average kinetic energy of the molecules of an ideal gas at 10∘C has the value K10. At what temperature T1 (in degrees Celsius) will the average kinetic energy of the same gas be twice this value, 2K10? b) The molecules in an ideal gas at 10∘C have a root-mean-square (rms) speed vrms. At what temperature T2 (in degrees Celsius) will the molecules have twice the rms speed, 2vrms?arrow_forwardAt what temperature does the rms speed of a nitrogen molecule and a hydrogen molecule equal the escape speed from the Earth’s surface? You’ll find that these temperatures are very high, so you might think that the Earth’s gravity could easily contain both gases. But not all molecules move with vrms. There is a distribution of speeds, and a small percentage of molecules have speeds several times vrms. Bit by bit, a gas can slowly leak out of the atmosphere as its fastest molecules escape. A reasonable rule of thumb is that the Earth’s gravity can contain a gas only if the average translational kinetic energy per molecule is less than 1% of the kinetic energy needed to escape. Use this rule to show why the Earth’s atmosphere contains nitrogen but not hydrogen, even though hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. Repeat this calculation for the Moon. Would you expect the Moon to have an atmosphere? Explainarrow_forward

What is the ratio of molar volume to the atomic volume of a mole of hydrogen ? (Take the size of hydrogen molecule to be about 1 Å). Why is this ratio so large ?arrow_forward
