A cubic box with sides of 20.0 cm contains 2.00 1023 molecules of helium with a root-mean-square speed (thermal speed) of 200 m/s. The mass of a helium molecule is 3.40 10-27 kg.
What is the average pressure exerted by the molecules on the walls of the container? The Boltzmann constant is 1.38 10-23 J/K and the ideal gas constant is R = 8.314 J/molK = 0.0821 L atm/mol K.
A) 3.39 kPa B) 1.13 kPa C) 570 Pa D) 9.10 Pa E) 2.26 kPa
