At20Cand 750torrpressure, the mean free paths for argon gas (Ar) and nitrogen gas (N2) AREAr=9.910-6cmand N2=27.510-6cm.

a) Find the ratio of the diameter of Aran atom to that of an N2 molecule.

b) What is the mean free path of argon at 20Cand150torr?

c) What is the mean free path of argon at-40Cand750torr?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The ratio of the diameter of an Aratom to that of an N2molecule is 1.7.

b) Mean free path of Arat20C and 150torris 5.0105cm.

c) Mean free path ofAr at 40Cand750torr is7.9106cm .

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Pressure;

p1=150torr=19998.3Pa

p2=750torr=99991.8Pa

Mean free path of argon;

Ar=9.9106cm

Mean free path of nitrogen;

N2=27.5106cm
Temperature;

T1=20C=293鈥块

T2=40C=233鈥块

02

Understanding the concept

The expression for the mean free path is given by,

=12d2(NV)

Here is the mean free path,NV is the molecule density inmolecule/cm3 .

The expression for the ideal gas equation is given by,

pV=nRT

Here pis the pressure, Vis the volume, nis the number of moles, Ris the universal gas constant,T is the temperature.

The relation between universal gas constant and Boltzmann constant is given by,

k=RNA

Herekis the Boltzmann constant.

03

(a) Calculate the ratio of the diameter of an Ar atom to that of an N2 molecule 

The mean free path is given by

=12d2(NV)

At constant temperature and pressure,Vis constant.

Hence,

d1dArdN2=N2Ar

dArdN2=27.51069.9106=1.671.7

Therefore the ratio of the diameter of an Aratom to that of an N2molecule is1.7 .

04

(b) Calculate the mean free path of argon at  20°C  and  150 torr.

We know that

=12d2(NV)

According to the gas law,

pV=NkT

NV=pkT

Hence,

=12d2(pkT)

Tp

12=T1T2p2p1

Since,Ar=9.9106cmatT=293K and p=750torr.

Mean free path ofArat20Cand150torr .

19.9106=2932937501501=49.5106cm5.0105cm

Therefore the mean free path of Arat 20Cand 150torris 5.0105cm.

05

(c) Calculate the mean free path of argon at -40°C and750 torr

Similarly, mean free path ofAr at233Kand750torr .

19.9106=2332937507501=7.87106cm7.9106cm

Therefore the mean free path of Arat40Cand 750torris7.9106cm .

Most popular questions from this chapter

The dot in Fig 19-18crepresents the initial state of a gas, and the adiabatic through the dot divides the p-V diagram into regions 1and 2. For the following processes, determine whether the corresponding heat is positive, negative, or zero: (a) the gas moves up along the adiabatic, (b) it moves down along the adiabatic, (c) it moves to anywhere in region 1, and (d) it moves to anywhere in region 2.

Question: The lowest possible temperature in outer space is 2.7 K. What is the rms speed of hydrogen molecules at this temperature? (The molar mass is2.0210-3kg/mol).

Question: A container encloses 2 mol of an ideal gas that has molar mass M1 and 0.5 mol of a second ideal gas that has molar mass m2 = 3 .m1 What fraction of the total pressure on the container wall is attributable to the second gas? (The kinetic theory explanation of pressure leads to the experimentally discovered law of partial pressures for a mixture of gases that do not react chemically: The total pressure exerted by the mixture is equal to the sum of the pressures that the several gases would exert separately if each were to occupy the vessel alone.)

Question: The molar mass of iodine is 127 g /mol. When sound at frequencyis introduced to a tube of iodine gas at 400 K, an internal acoustic standing wave is set up with nodes separated by 9.57 cm.What is for the gas? (Hint: See Problem 91)

Question: The best laboratory vacuum has a pressure of about,110-18atmor,1.0110-13pascal. How many gas molecules are there per cubic centimeter in such a vacuum at 293 k?
