Question

Suppose you double the temperature of a gas at constant volume.

Part A

Do the following change?
The average translational kinetic energy of a molecule.

Doubling temperature has effect on ?avg.

Part B

The rms speed of a molecule.

Doubling temperature has effect on vrms.

Part C

The mean free path.

Doubling temperature has no effect on ?.

Part D

And if so, by what factor?
The average translational kinetic energy of a molecule.

?avg(2T) / ?avg(T) =

Part E

The rms speed of a molecule.

vrms(2T) / vrms(T) =

I got the answer for part A, B, and C. but i neet help with part D, and E

Explanation / Answer

a) Average Translational Kinetic Energy will increase by factor 2.
b) Vrms will increase by a factor of 1.4142, meaning square root of 2.
c) Mean Free Path will increase by factor 2.

d)  2

e)  1.4142
