What properties of a nonideal gas do the van der Waals constants a and b represent?
Hi, could I get some help with this micro-macro connection physics problem involving root mean square speed?
The set up is:
For an atom in an ideal gas with rms speed in one direction, vx = 100 m/s, and mass m = 6.66e-27 kg, what is the temperature T in kelvin (K) to four digits of precision if Boltzman constant kB = 1.38e-23 J/K?
Thank you.

Thus, for example, the electrostatic potential V in a region containing no free charge takes on its largest and smallest values on the boundary of the region; similarly, the temperature T of a body containing no sources of heat takes its largest and smallest values on the surface of the body. Prove this fact (for two-dimensional regions) as follows: Suppose that it is claimed that u(x, y) takes its maximum value at some interior point a; this means that, at all points of some small disk about a, the values of u(x, y) are nolarger than at a. Show by Problem 36 that such a claim leads to a contradiction (unless u = const.). Similarly prove that u(x, y) cannot take its minimum value at an interior point.arrow_forward
