Question

The average kinetic energy of the molecules in a gas sample depends only on the temperature, T. But given the same kinetic energies, a lighter molecule will move faster than a heavier molecule.

where R=8.314 J/(mol·K) and is molar mass in kilograms per mole. Note that a joule is the same as a kg·m2/s2.

What is the rms speed of N2 molecules at 309 K?

What is the rms speed of He atoms at 309 K?

The average kinetic energy of the molecules in a gas sample depends only on the temperature, T. But given the same kinetic energies, a lighter molecule will move faster than a heavier molecule. 3RT where R-8.314 J(mol- K) and. is molar mass in kilograms per mole. Note that a joule is the same as a kg m2ls rms speed= What is the rms speed of N2 molecules at 309 K? Number m/s What is the rms speed of He atoms at 309 K? Number m/s

Explanation / Answer

rms speed of N2 molecules at 309 K

Vrms = sqrt(3RT/M)

    R = 8.314 j.k-1.mol-1

    T = 309 k

    M = molarmass of N2 = 28 g/mol = 28*10^-3 kg/mol

Vrms = sqrt(3*8.314*309/(28*10^-3))

      = 524.64 m/s

rms speed of He atoms at 309 K

Vrms = sqrt(3RT/M)

    R = 8.314 j.k-1.mol-1

    T = 309 k

    M = molarmass of He = 4 g/mol = 4*10^-3 kg/mol

Vrms = sqrt(3*8.314*309/(4*10^-3))

      = 1388.1 m/s
