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 .

When the US submarine Squalus became disabled at a depth of, a cylindrical chamber was lowered from a ship to rescue the crew. The chamber had a radius of1mand a height of4m, was open at the bottom, and held two rescuers. It slid along a guide cable that a diver had attached to a hatch on the submarine. Once the chamber reached the hatch and clamped to the hull, the crew could escape into the chamber. During the descent, air was released from tanks to prevent water from flooding the chamber. Assume that the interior air pressure matched the water pressure at depth h as given byrole="math" localid="1662369677002" p0+蚁驳丑, wherep0=1.000atm

Assume a surface temperature of20Cand a submerged water temperature of-30C.

  1. What is the air volume in the chamber at the surface?
  2. If air had not been released from the tanks, what would have been the air volume in the chamber at depth h =80.0m?
  3. How many moles of air were needed to be released to maintain the original air volume in the chamber?
