Concept explainers
(a).
Interpretation:
(i) The root-mean-square speeds and average kinetic energies of the Helium both compared.
(ii) The frequency and force has to be compared.
(b).
(i) The frequency and force of helium has to be compared.
(ii) The frequency and force has to be compared.
(c) The given statement valid
(a)
Concept Introduction:
Root mean-square speed is the parameter to measure the speed of particles in a gas. M is the molecular mass of the molecule at temperature T, root mean-square speed (
(b).
Concept Introduction:
The main usefulness of the idea is in the study of the standard impact force during collisions. Used for collisions, the mass and change in velocity are often willingly measured, other than the force during the collision is not.
(c).
Concept Introduction:
Root mean-square speed is the parameter to measure the speed of particles in a gas. M is the molecular mass of the molecule at temperature T, root mean-square speed (

- Sulfur-containing compounds give skunks their potent smell. One of the principal smelly compounds in skunk spray is (E)-2-butene-1-thiol, C4H7S. a What is the root-mean-square (rms) molecular speed of a gas molecule of this compound at 25C? b Using the value from part a, calculate how long it would take a molecule of C4H7S to reach your nose if you were 150 m from the skunk. c Does the calculation that you performed in part b provide an accurate estimate for the length of time it would take for the molecule to travel 150 m, or is there something that was overlooked in performing the calculation?arrow_forwardGiven that a sample of air is made up of nitrogen, oxygen, and argon in the mole fractions 0.78 N2, 0.21 O2, and 0.010 Ar, what is the density of air at standard temperature and pressure?arrow_forwardIf 456 dm3 of krypton at 101 kPa and 21C is compressed into a 30.1-dm3 tank at the same temperature, what is the pressure of krypton in the tank?arrow_forward
