An ideal gas is in a sealed rigid container. The averagekinetic energy of the gas molecules depends most on(a) the size of the container.(b) the number of molecules in the container.(c) the temperature of the gas.(d) the mass of the molecules.
For divers going to great depths, the composition of the air in the tank must be modified. The ideal composition is to have approximately the same number of O2 molecules per unit volume as in surface air (to avoid oxygen poisoning), and to use helium instead of nitrogen for the remainder of the gas (to avoid nitrogen narcosis, which results from nitrogen dissolving in the bloodstream). Of the molecules in dry surface air, 78.0% are N2, 21.0% are O2, and 1.00% are Ar. (Assume that the density of seawater is 1025 kg/m3 and the temperature is 20.0°C.) Density of dry air at 20.0°C is 1.20 kg/m3. Molar mass of N2 is 14.007 g/mol, O2 is 15.999 g/mol, and Ar is 39.948 g/mol.
For a diver going to a depth of 141 m, what percentage of the gas molecules in the tank should be O2?
Imagine that you have an ideal gas in a 7.20 L container, and that 1450 molecules of this gas collide with a square-centimetre area of the container at any given instant. If the volume is increased to 43.2 L at constant temperature, how many collisions will occur per square centimetre of this larger container?
