Question

1. Calculate the average translational kinetic energy (sometimes just called average kinetic energy)...

a. for one mole of gas at 365 K. Answer:  E(k)=_____J/mol

b. for a single gas molecule at 365 K. Answer E(k)=_____J/molecule


2. If He(g) has an average kinetic energy of 6350 J/mol under certain conditions, what is the root mean square speed of N2(g) molecules under the same conditions? Answer: _____ m/s


3. The average kinetic energy of the molecules in a gas sample depends only on the temperature, T. But given the same kinetic energies, a lighter molecule will move faster than a heavier molecule.

where R=8.314 J/(mol

Explanation / Answer

a) avg.K.E FOR n MOLE=3/2nRT


= 3/2*1**8.314*365


=4551.9j/mole


b) avg k.e for molecule=3/2*K*T


=3/2*1.38*10^-23*365


=755.5*10^-23J/MOLECULE


2)


avg.K.E FOR n MOLE=3/2nRT

6350=3/2*1*8.314*T

T=509.1K

R.M.S=( 3RT/M)^1/2

=(3*8.314*509.1/28*10^-3)^1/2

226785.71met/SEC



3)a)

R.M.S= (3RT/M)^1/2

= (3*8.314*375/32 *10^-3)^1/2

=146144.5 met/sec


b)


R.M.S= (3RT/M)^1/2

= (3*8.314*375/4*10^-3)^1/2
