A sample of an ideal gas is in a tank of constant volume. The sample absorbs heat energy so that its temperature changes from 300 K to 600 K. If v1 is the average speed of the gas molecules before the absorption of heat and v, is their average speed after the absorption of heat, what is the ratio v2/ v1 ?
A mass m of helium gas is contained in a container of constant volume V, with a pressure P and absolute (Kelvin) temperature T at the start. More helium is added, increasing the total mass of helium gas to 3 m. The temperature is found to be 2T after this addition. In terms of the initial pressure P, what is the final gas pressure?
4. This problem explores "effusion", the process by which gas in a container leaks out of a small hole.
(a) Consider a wall of a container full of an ideal gas. Find an expression for vrms (the root-mean-squared
speed of the gas molecules in the direction perpendicular to the wall) in terms of the gas temperature
(T) and the molecular mass of the gas (m).
(b) Consider a small portion (with area A) of the wall. Each molecule colliding with this portion of the
wall exerts the following pressure on it:
- m Δυ,
ΑΔt
where v, is the molecule's speed in the direction perpendicular to the wall. We assume an elastic
collision, so over the course of the collision we have Avx = -2vx.
An interesting quantity is N, the number of molecules colliding with this portion of the wall in (very
short) time interval At. We can estimate that the gas pressure P, which is the total pressure exerted by
N molecular collisions with the wall, is N times the average pressure exerted by a single molecule:
2Nm
P = N…

In the study, a number of balloons were filled with helium, and then placed in a chamber maintained at −20°C. The pressure in the chamber was gradually reduced until the balloons exploded, and then the researchers determined the height above sea level corresponding to that pressure. Assume each balloon was filled with helium at +20°C and at about atmospheric pressure. Determine the balloon's volume just before it exploded, if its volume when it was first filled was 500 cm3.arrow_forward
