- In the text, it was shown that N/V=2.681025m3 for gas at STP. (a) Show that this quantity is equivalent to N/V=2.681019cm3, as stated. (b) About how many atoms are mere in one m3 (a cubic micrometer) at STP? (c) What does your answer to part (b) imply about the separation of Mama and molecules?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. A)What is the volume, in cubic kilometers, of Avogadro’s number of sand grains, if each grain is a cube with an edge length of 1.3 mm and the cubes are densely packed (with no air between them). B) How long, in kilometers, would a beach have to be for this sand to cover it to a depth of 10.0 m? Assume a beach is 100.0 m wide, and you can neglect the air spaces between the grains.arrow_forwardThe gas law for an ideal gas at absolute temperature T (in kelvins), pressure P (in atmospheres), and volume V (in liters) is PV = nRT, where n is the number of moles of the gas and R = 0.0821 is the gas constant. Suppose that, at a certain instant, P = 7.0 atm and is increasing at a rate of 0.15 atm/min and V = 13 and is decreasing at a rate of 0.17 L/min. Find the rate of change of T with respect to time (in K/min) at that instant if n = 10 mol.(Round your answer to four decimal places.)arrow_forward
- The ideal gas law is given by, PV=nRT. According to the ideal gas law equation, if you plot 1/P as the y axis and V as the x axis, the slope is: O nRT 1 nR 1 nRT O nRarrow_forwardProblem 5: Any ideal gas at standard temperature and pressure (STP) has a number density (atoms per unit volume) of p = N/V = 2.68 × 1025 m²3. How many atoms are there in 11 cubic micrometers, at STP? N =| atomsarrow_forwardProblem 6: There are lots of examples of ideal gases in the universe, and they exist in many different conditions. In this problem we will examine what the temperature of these various phenomena are. Part (a) Give an expression for the temperature of an ideal gas in terms of pressure P, particle density per unit volume ρ, and fundamental constants. T = P/( ρ kB ) Part (b) Near the surface of Venus, its atmosphere has a pressure fv= 96 times the pressure of Earth's atmosphere, and a particle density of around ρv = 0.92 × 1027 m-3. What is the temperature of Venus' atmosphere (in C) near the surface? Part (c) The Orion nebula is one of the brightest diffuse nebulae in the sky (look for it in the winter, just below the three bright stars in Orion's belt). It is a very complicated mess of gas, dust, young star systems, and brown dwarfs, but let's estimate its temperature if we assume it is a uniform ideal gas. Assume it is a sphere of radius r = 5.8 × 1015 m (around 6 light years)…arrow_forward
- According to the Ideal Gas Law, PV = kT, where P is pressure, V is volume, T is temperature (in kelvins), and k is a constant of proportionality. A tank contains 400 cubic inches of nitrogen at a pressure of 130 pounds per square inch and a temperature of 300 K. (a) Determine k.k = (b) Write P as a function of V and T and describe the level curves.P = (c) Setting P = c, the level curves are of the form V =arrow_forwardSpace Physics: The solar corona is a very hot atmosphere surrounding the visible surface of the sun. X-ray emissions from the corona show that its temperature is about 2 × 106 K. The gas pressure in the corona is about 0.03 Pa. Estimate the number density of particles in the solar corona with units of particles per cubic meter.arrow_forwardCompute the density in units of of an ideal gas under the following conditions: a) At and Torr pressure (1 Torr = 1mm Hg) this is called loschmidt number. b) In a vacuum of Torr at room temperature . This number is useful one for the experimentalist to know by heart. (10^-3 Torr = 1 micron)arrow_forward
- A (1.0x10^1) liter bottle is filled with nitrogen (N2) at STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure is 1 atm and 273 K) and closed tight. If the temperature is raised to 100° C, what will be the new pressure in SI units to two significant figures.arrow_forwardAn atom of neon has a radius Ne-38. pm and an average speed in the gas phase at 25°C of 350.m/s. Suppose the speed of a neon atom at 25°C has been measured to within 0.10%. Calculate the smallest possible length of box inside of which the atom could be known to be located with certainty. Write your answer as a multiple of "Ne and round it to 2 significant figures. For example, if the smallest box the atom could be in turns out to be 42.0 times the radius of an atom of neon, you would enter "42.Ne" as your answer. [arrow_forwardWhen doing numerical calculations involving temperature, you need to pay particular attention to the temperature scale you are using. In general, you should use the Kelvin scale (for which T = 0 represents absolute zero) in such calculations. This is because the standard thermodynamic equations (i.e., the ideal gas law and the formula for energy of a gas in terms of temperature) assume that zero degrees represents absolute zero. If you are given temperatures measured in units other than kelvins, convert them to kelvins before plugging them into these equations. (You may then want to convert back into the initial temperature unit to give your answer.) The average kinetic energy of the molecules of an ideal gas at 10°C has the value K10. At what temperature T₁ (in degrees Celsius) will the average kinetic energy of the same gas be twice this value, 2K10? Express the temperature to the nearest integer. ► View Available Hint(s) T₁ = Submit Part B V ΑΣΦ ? °C The molecules in an ideal gas at…arrow_forward
