Capitolo 10, Problema 10.108c

Two 112-L tanks are filled with gas at 330 K. One contains 5.00 mol of Kr, and the other contains 5.00 mol of O2. Considering the assumptions of kinetic–molecular theory, rank the gases from low to high for each of the following properties.
(c) Average speed

Step 1: The average speed of a gas molecule is given by the equation: \(v_{avg} = \sqrt{\frac{8kT}{\pi m}}\), where \(k\) is the Boltzmann constant, \(T\) is the temperature in Kelvin, and \(m\) is the molar mass of the gas.
Step 2: The molar mass of Kr is 83.798 g/mol and the molar mass of O2 is 32.00 g/mol. Convert these values to kg/mol by dividing by 1000, as the molar mass in the equation should be in kg/mol.
Step 3: Substitute the values of \(k\), \(T\), and \(m\) into the equation for each gas. Note that the temperature and the Boltzmann constant are the same for both gases, so the average speed is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass.
Step 4: Since O2 has a lower molar mass than Kr, it will have a higher average speed.
Step 5: Therefore, the gases ranked from low to high average speed are Kr and then O2.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Kinetic Molecular Theory

Kinetic Molecular Theory explains the behavior of gases in terms of particles in constant motion. It posits that gas particles are far apart, move freely, and collide elastically. This theory helps in understanding how temperature and mass affect the speed of gas particles, which is crucial for comparing the average speeds of different gases.

Graham's Law of Effusion

Graham's Law states that the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass. This means lighter gases will effuse faster than heavier gases. This principle is essential for determining the average speed of gases, as it allows us to compare the speeds of Kr and O2 based on their molar masses.

Root Mean Square Speed

The root mean square speed (rms speed) of a gas is a measure of the average speed of gas particles and is calculated using the formula v_rms = sqrt(3RT/M), where R is the gas constant, T is the temperature in Kelvin, and M is the molar mass. This concept is vital for ranking the average speeds of different gases, as it directly relates to their temperature and molar mass.
