What is the rms speed of nitrogen molecules contained in a 9.4 m3 volume at 3.9 atm if the total amount of nitrogen is 2300 mol ?
Given that
nitrogen molecule volume V = 9.4 m3
pressure P = 3.9 atm = 3.9*1.03*10^5 Pa
number of moles n = 2300 mol
from ideal gas equation PV= nRT ==> T= PV/nR
T =
3.9*1.03*10^5*9.4/(2300*8.314)
T = 197.46
k
now the root mean square velocity i s
Vrms = sqrt(3RT/M)
=
SQRT(3*8.314*197.46 /14) M/S
=
18.7560 m/s
so V rms = 18.7560 m/s
