Question

wo tanks containing an equal number of moles of an tank F is greater than the volume of tank E. a. 2. T ideal gas are at equal temperatures. The volume of Ideal gas Ideal gas Is the average speed of the particles in tank E greater than, less than, or equal to the average speed of the particles in tank F? Explain. Tank E Tank F Is the average change in momentum of one gas particle in a single collision with a wall in tank E greater th a single collision with a wall in tank F? Explain. b. an, less than, or equal to the average change in momentum of one particle in c. On average, will a single particle collide with a wall in tank E more often than, less often Is the number of particles colliding with a wall per unit time and unit area in tank E greater than, less than, or equal to the number of particles colliding with a wall per unit time and unit area in tank D? Explain. (Hint: Compare the number of collisions each second in the two tanks and the surface area of the walls of each tank.) Use your answers to parts b and c above to predict whether the pressure in tank E is greater than, less than, or equal to the pressure in tank F. Explain. d. Is your answer consistent with the ideal gas law?

Explanation / Answer

(a) Speed should be equal as they are depedent on temperature. There temperature is same, so is their KE. If their mass is same then velocity will also same, so they are equal.

(b) change in momentum of E should be greater than F as particles in F undergo more number of collisions than E because pressure is inversely proportional to volume.

(c) more often as again size is small also number of particles colliding is more than tank F because size is small.

(d) pressure in tank E is greater than F because of reasons stated in (b)

yes..it is consistent with ideal gas law
