- An ideal gas is contained in a vessel at 300 K. The temperature of the gas is then increased to 900 K. (i) By what factor does the average kinetic energy of the molecules change, (a) a factor of 9, (b) a factor of 3, (c) a factor of 3, (d) a factor of 1, or (e) a factor of 13? Using the same choices as in part (i), by what factor does each of the following change: (ii) the rms molecular speed of the molecules, (iii) the average momentum change that one molecule undergoes in a collision with one particular wall, (iv) the rate of collisions of molecules with walls, and (v) the pressure of the gas?arrow_forwardCylinder A contains oxygen (O2) gas, and cylinder B contains nitrogen (N2) gas.

What is the average rate (in atoms/s) at which neon atoms collide with one side of the container? The mass of a single neon atom is 3.35x10-26 kg. When I asked on this website yesterday, the answer came out to be incorrect.arrow_forwardAvagadro's number (6.023 × 1023) is a pure (unitless) number which serves as a good standard for measuring the number of molecules in ideal gases at STP.
