In reality, each molecule has a small volume and so there are collisions. Let's assume that a molecule is a hard sphere of radius r. Then the molecules will occasionally collide with each other. The average distance traveled between two successive collisions (called mean free path) is λ = V/(4π √2 r2N) where V is the volume of the gas containing N molecules.

Assume it is a sphere of radius r = 5.8 × 1015 m (around 6 light years)…arrow_forwardGiven the ideal gas law P V = k T, where k> 0 is a constant. We have the equation for V in terms of P and T. Finding the rate of change of the volume with respect to temperature at constant pressure, the interpretation of the result is: 1 Because this partial derivative is negative, the volume decreases as the temperature decreases at a fixed pressure. . 2. Because this partial derivative is negative, the volume increases as the temperature increases at a fixed pressure. 3. Because this partial derivative is positive, the volume increases as the temperature decreases at a fixed pressure. 4. Because this partial derivative is positive, the volume increases as the temperature increases at a fixed pressure.arrow_forwardIdeal gases are often studied at standard ambient temperature and pressure (SATP).
