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.

The use of salicylates dates back 2,500 years to Hippocrates's recommendation of willow bark (from which a salicylate is derived) as an aid to the pains of childbirth. However, overdosage of salicylates can harm body fluids, electrolytes, the CNS, the GI tract, the ears, the lungs, the blood, the liver, and the kidneys and cause coma or death.
