Chapter 6, Problem 6.130QE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Plot for Argon at $0°\text{C}$ and Argon at $100°\text{C}$ has to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

In the plot of Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution, the abscissa indicates the speed of the molecules while the ordinate represents the number of molecules. In accordance with the kinetic molecular theory, not all of the gas particles will move at the same speed but with an average speed that is given by the expression as follows:

  $\overline{KE}=\frac{1}{2}m\overline{u^2}$

Here,

$\overline{KE}$ is the average kinetic energy.

$m$ is the mass of particle.

$u^2$ is the average of the speed
