Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.160QP
One way to gain a physical understanding of b in the van der Waals equation is to calculate the “excluded volume.” Assume that the distance of closest approach between two similar atoms is the sum of their radii (2r). (a) Calculate the volume around each atom into which the center of another atom cannot penetrate. (b) From your result in (a), calculate the excluded volume for 1 mole of the atoms, which is the constant b. How does this volume compare with the sum of the volumes of 1 mole of the atoms?

A flask contains a mixture of neon (Ne), krypton (Kr), and radon (Rn) gases. Compare (a) the average kinetic energies of the three types of atoms and (b) the root-mean-square speeds. (Hint: Appendix D shows the molar mass (in g>mol) of each element under the chemical symbol for that element.)
3. One way to state Boyle’s law is “All other things being equal, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume.”
(a) What is the meaning of the term “inversely proportional?”
(b) What are the “other things” that must be equal?
Describe 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).
