By counting squares in the following figure, estimate the fraction of argon atoms at T = 300 K that have speeds between 400 m/s and
600 m/s. The curve is correctly normalized. The value of a square is its length as measured on the x-axis times its height as measured on the
y-axis, with the units given on those axes.

- In a commonly used model of the atmosphere, the atmospheric pressure varies with altitude, h, according to the barometric formula:p = p0e–h/Hwhere p0 is the pressure at sea level and H is a constant approximately equal to 8 km. More specifically, H = RT/Mg, where M is the average molar mass of air and T is the temperature at the altitude h. This formula represents the outcome of the competition between the potential energy of the molecules in the gravitational field of the Earth and the stirring effects of thermal motion. Derive this relation by showing that the change in pressure dp for an infinitesimal change in altitude dh where the mass density is ρ is dp = −ρgdh. Remember that ρ depends on the pressure. Evaluate (a) the pressure difference between the top and bottom of a laboratory vessel of height 15 cm, and (b) the external atmospheric pressure at a typical cruising altitude of an aircraft (11 km) when the pressure at ground level is 1.0 atm.arrow_forwardA container filled with an ideal gas is connected to a reservoir of the same gas so that the number of moles in the container can change.
