What is the average velocity of the neon atoms in the gas phase at 25 degrees celsius.
The answer should be 607 m/s but I cannot seem to get that. Please show work and formulas!
Average velocity ,
Where
R = gas constant = 8.314 J / (mol-K)
T = temperature = 25 oC = 25+273 = 298 K
M = Molar mass of Ne = 20.2 g/mol
= 20.2x10-3 kg /mol
Plug the values we get
= 559 m/s
Therefore the average velocity of Neon atoms , v = 559 m/s
