For a gas of nitrogen moleculesN2 , what must the temperature be if 94.7% of all the molecules have speeds less than (a) 1500 m/s (b) 1000 m/s (c) 500 m/s ? Use Table 18.2. The molar mass of N2 is 28 g/mol.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The temperature for 1500 m/s is 987 K .

(b) The temperature at 1000 m/s is 438 K .

(c) The temperature at 500 m/s is 110 K.

Step by step solution

01

About molar mass of nitrogen:

The molar mass of achemical compoundis defined as themassof a sample of that compound divided by theamount of substancein that sample, measured inmoles.

Consider the given data as below.

Molar mass of N2, M=28×10-3kg

And 94.7% of its molecules move with a given speed (root mean square speed). And this given fraction is 0.974 represent the molecules in an ideal gas with speeds less than various.

vvrms=1.60

02

Determine the temperature at  :

Before calculating the temperature of the 94 - 7% of N2 molecules you must know that the N2molecules have a root mean square speed 11m less than 1 where v is the molecular speed and the ratio between them is given by

vvrms=1.60

Therefore,

vrms=v1.690 ….. (1)

03

(a) Determine the temperature at  :

By apply the root mean square speed equation which employ the relation between root mean square speed 11 m , molar

By apply the root mean square speed equation which employ the relation between root mean square speed 0 m , molar

vrms=3RTM ….. (2)

Here, M is the mass, R is the gas constant and T is the temperature.

And Compare equation (1) and (2) as below.

v1.60=3RTM

Now take the square for both sides and solve for T and employ equation (2) by

T=Mv231.62R ….. (3)

Now define the equation that make able to calculate T by known 0 in part (a), (b) and (c).

Substitute 28×10-3kgmol for M , 1500ms for v , and 8.314J/mol·K for R in the above equation.

T=28×10−3×(1500)23(1.6)2×8.314=987K

Therefore, the temperature for 1500 m/s is 987 K.

04

(b) Determine the temperature for 1000 m/s :

Substitute 28×10-3kgmol for M , 1000ms for v , and 8.314 J/mol.K for R into equation (3) as below.

T=Mv23(1.6)2R=28×10−3×(1000)23(1.6)2×8.314=438K

Therefore, the temperature at 1000 m/s is 438 K .

05

(c) Determine the temperature for  :

Substitute 28×10-3kgmol for M , 500ms for v , and 8.314 J/mol.K for R into equation (3) as below.

T=Mv23(1.6)2R=28×10−3×(500)23(1.6)2×8.314=110K

Therefore, the temperature at 500 m/s is 110 K .

The coolant in an automobile radiator is kept at a pressure higher than atmospheric pressureT. Why is this desirable? The radiator cap will release coolant when the gauge pressure of the coolant reaches a certain value, typically or so. Why not just seal the system completely?

When you first step out of the shower, you feel cold. But as soon as you are dry you feel warmer, even though the room temperature does not change. Why?

During an isothermal compression of an ideal gas, 410 J of heat must be removed from the gas to maintain constant temperature. How much work is done by the gas during the process?

A diver observes a bubble of air rising from the bottom of a lake (where the absolute pressure is 3.50 atm) to the surface (where the pressure is 1.00 atm). The temperature at the bottom is 4.0°C, and the temperature at the surface is 23.0°C. (a) What is the ratio of the volume of the bubble as it reaches the surface to its volume at the bottom? (b) Would it be safe for the diver to hold his breath while ascending from the bottom of the lake to the surface? Why or why not?

Question:You make tea with 0.250 kg of 85.0°C water and let it cool to room temperature (20.0°C). (a) Calculate the entropy change of the water while it cools. (b) The cooling process is essentially isothermal for the air in your kitchen. Calculate the change in entropy of the air while the tea cools, assuming that all of the heat lost by the water goes into the air. What is the total entropy change of the system tea + air?
