Chapter 11, Problem 11.154QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To compare ${\text{u}}_{\text{mp}}$ with ${\text{u}}_{\text{rms}}$ for Nitrogen and the value of ${\text{T}}_{\text{2}}$ have to be calculated.

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 (${\text{u}}_{\text{rms}}$) has to be calculate using the formula

${\text{u}}_{\text{rms}}\text{=}\sqrt{\frac{\text{3RT}}{\text{M}}}$

${\text{u}}_{\text{mp}}\text{=}\sqrt{\frac{\text{2RT}}{\text{M}}}$
