Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- 1.44. The van der Waals constant b can be used to estimate molecular sizes, assuming the molecules are shaped like spheres: 1. Convert b to units of m³/mol, using the fact that 1 m³ = 1000 L. 2. Divide by Avogadro's number to get the individual molecular contribution to b. 3. Use V = 4/3 πr³ to estimate the radius of the molecule. Using these steps, estimate the sizes of (a) He (b) H₂O (c) C₂H6-arrow_forwardDetermine the theoretical density for Ti element, which is HCP structure, atomic mass47.867 g/mol, R = 0.147 nm?arrow_forwardDescribe in your own words the Kinetic Molecular Theory of gases. The Kinetic Molecular Theory of gases tells us that the energy content of any gas is related only to its temperature. It also tells us that it is possible to compute the "RMS" (root mean squared) velocity of any gas molecule if you know its formula weight and its temperature. Using this information describe how you might compute the RMS velocity of sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the atmosphere of the planet Venus (T = 820 F), the RMS velocity of oxygen (O2) in the atmosphere of Earth (T = 50 F), or the RMS velocity of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere of Mars (T = - 80 F).arrow_forward

- Calculate the time required for molecules to diffuse in a liquid a distance of 10^(−3) cm. Assume that the average velocity of the molecules is 10^4 cm/sec and that the mean free path is 10^(−8) cm. Repeat the calculation for the time of diffusion in a gas at 1 atm pressure, where the mean free path is 10^(−5) cm.arrow_forward3.
