On a hot summer day, the temperature is 40.0C and the pressure is 1.01  105 Pa.
 
  Let us model the air as all nitrogen of molecular mass 28.0 g/mol having molecules of diameter
  0.500 nm that are moving at their root-mean-square speed. Avogadro's number is
  6.02  1023 molecules/mol, the ideal gas constant is 8.31 J/mol  K, and the Boltzmann constant is 1.38  10-23 J/K. Calculate reasonable estimates for
  (a) the root-mean-square speed of the nitrogen molecules.
  (b) the average distance a typical molecule travels between collisions.
  (c) the average time a molecule travels between collisions, assuming that the molecules are moving at their root-mean-square speeds.
  (d) the number of collisions an average molecule undergoes per second.
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

The mean free path of an oxygen molecule is 2.0  10-5 m, when the gas is at a pressure of 120 Pa and a temperature of 275 K.
 
  The molecular mass of oxygen is 32.0 g/mol and the Boltzmann constant is 1.38  10-23 J/K, Avogadro's number is 6.02  1023 molecules/mole, and the ideal gas constant is R = 8.314 J/mol  K = 0.0821 L  atm/mol  K. Assuming that the molecules are moving at their root-mean-square speeds, the average time interval between collisions of an oxygen molecule is closest to
  A) 20 ns.
  B) 43 ns.
  C) 95 ns.
  D) 200 ns.
  E) 420 ns.

Did you know?

Studies show that systolic blood pressure can be significantly lowered by taking statins. In fact, the higher the patient's baseline blood pressure, the greater the effect of statins on his or her blood pressure.

In Eastern Europe and Russia, interferon is administered intranasally in varied doses for the common cold and influenza. It is claimed that this treatment can lower the risk of infection by as much as 60–70%.

Did you know?

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.
