Step-by-step solution

10 steps

Here's the solution to your question:

Part a

State TWO assumptions used to derive this equation.

Here are two assumptions used in the kinetic theory of gases:

  • The gas consists of a very large number of identical molecules that are in random, continuous motion.
  • The volume occupied by the gas molecules themselves is negligible compared to the total volume of the gas.
  • Collisions between molecules and with the container walls are perfectly elastic, and the time duration of collisions is negligible.
  • There are no intermolecular forces between gas molecules, except during collisions.
  • The average kinetic energy of the gas molecules is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

Part b· 6 steps

Use the above equation to show that c2c^2 is related to the absolute temperature of the gas by; c2=3RTMc^2 = \frac{3RT}{M}

  1. Start with the given kinetic theory equation for pressure.

    P=13ρc2P = \frac{1}{3} \rho c^2
  2. Express density (ρ\rho) in terms of mass (mm), volume (VV), and molar mass (MM).

    Density is mass per unit volume, ρ=mV\rho = \frac{m}{V}.
    The total mass of the gas (mm) can also be expressed as the number of moles (nn) multiplied by the molar mass (MM), so m=nMm = nM.
    Therefore, ρ=nMV\rho = \frac{nM}{V}.

  3. Substitute the expression for density into the pressure equation.

    P=13(nMV)c2P = \frac{1}{3} \left(\frac{nM}{V}\right) c^2
  4. Rearrange the equation to isolate PVPV.

    PV=13nMc2PV = \frac{1}{3} n M c^2
  5. Use the Ideal Gas Law, PV=nRTPV = nRT.

    Equate the expression for PVPV from Step 4 with the Ideal Gas Law:

    nRT=13nMc2nRT = \frac{1}{3} n M c^2
  6. Cancel nn from both sides and solve for c2c^2.

    RT=13Mc2RT = \frac{1}{3} M c^2

    Multiply both sides by 3 and divide by MM:

    c2=3RTMc^2 = \frac{3RT}{M}

    This shows the relationship between the mean-square speed (c2c^2) and the absolute temperature (TT).

Part c

1,00×103 m s−11,00 \times 10^3 \text{ m s}^{-1}

Determine the root-mean-square speed of the molecules if the gas is heated to a temperature of 150 °C150 \text{ °C}.

  1. Convert the given temperatures from Celsius to Kelvin.

    Initial temperature, T1=30.0 °C+273.15=303.15 KT_1 = 30.0 \text{ °C} + 273.15 = 303.15 \text{ K}
    Final temperature, T2=150 °C+273.15=423.15 KT_2 = 150 \text{ °C} + 273.15 = 423.15 \text{ K}

  2. Relate the root-mean-square speed to temperature.

    From part (b), we know that c2=3RTMc^2 = \frac{3RT}{M}.
    This implies that the mean-square speed (c2c^2) is directly proportional to the absolute temperature (TT).
    Therefore, the root-mean-square speed (crms=c2c_{rms} = \sqrt{c^2}) is proportional to the square root of the absolute temperature:

    crms∝Tc_{rms} \propto \sqrt{T}

    So, we can write the ratio:

    crms,1T1=crms,2T2\frac{c_{rms,1}}{\sqrt{T_1}} = \frac{c_{rms,2}}{\sqrt{T_2}}
  3. Substitute the known values and solve for the final root-mean-square speed (crms,2c_{rms,2}).

    Given initial rms speed, crms,1=850 m s−1c_{rms,1} = 850 \text{ m s}^{-1}.

    crms,2=crms,1T2T1c_{rms,2} = c_{rms,1} \sqrt{\frac{T_2}{T_1}} crms,2=850 m s−1423.15 K303.15 Kc_{rms,2} = 850 \text{ m s}^{-1} \sqrt{\frac{423.15 \text{ K}}{303.15 \text{ K}}} crms,2=850 m s−11.395844c_{rms,2} = 850 \text{ m s}^{-1} \sqrt{1.395844} crms,2=850 m s−1×1.181458c_{rms,2} = 850 \text{ m s}^{-1} \times 1.181458 crms,2≈1004.24 m s−1c_{rms,2} \approx 1004.24 \text{ m s}^{-1}
  4. Round the answer to an appropriate number of significant figures (3 significant figures, based on the input values).

    crms,2≈1000 m s−1c_{rms,2} \approx 1000 \text{ m s}^{-1}

    The root-mean-square speed of the molecules if the gas is heated to 150 °C150 \text{ °C} is 1,00×103 m s−1\boxed{1,00 \times 10^3 \text{ m s}^{-1}}.
