Question

Problem 19.63: An empty 2.00-L soft drink bottle is filled with 0.0170 mol of a monatomic ideal gas at atmospheric pressure (1.01 × 105 N/m2). Part A: What is the average kinetic energy of each gas particle in the bottle? Part B: Compare the value you obtained in part A with the kinetic energy of a bacterium of mass 1.0 × 10−14 kg moving at 1.0 × 10−7 m/s.? Part C: Compare the value you obtained in part A with the kinetic energy of a 0.0010-kg garden slug moving at 0.0100 m/s.?
