- Two containers hold ideal gases at the same temperature.Container A has twice the volume and half the number of molecules as container B. What is the ratio PA>PB, where PA is the pressure in container A and PB is the pressure in container B?arrow_forwardThe volume of an ideal gas in a closed system is directly proportional to the number of gas particles at constant pressure and temperature.true or falsearrow_forwardTwo containers of equal volume each hold samples of the same ideal gas. Container A has 3 times as many molecules as container B. If the gas pressure is the same in the two containers, find the ratio of the the absolute temperatures TA and TB ( i.e TA / TB ) . Calculate to 2 decimals.arrow_forward
- By counting squares in the following figure, estimate the fraction of argon atoms at T = 300 K that have speeds between 400 m/s and 600 m/s. The curve is correctly normalized. The value of a square is its length as measured on the x-axis times its height as measured on the y-axis, with the units given on those axes. f(v) (s/m) 0.0025 0.002 0.0015 0.001 0.0005 0 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 v (m/s)arrow_forwardBy counting squares in the following figure, estimate the fraction of argon atoms at T = 300 K that have speeds between 400 m/s and 600 m/s.

- Thank you! a) what is the kinetic energy per unit volume in an ideal gas at P=1.20 atm? b) what is the kinetic energy per unit volume in an ideal gas at P=287.0 atm?arrow_forwardIdeal gases are often studied at standard ambient temperature and pressure (SATP). The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) defines SATP to be T = 25° C and P = 100 kPa. 33% Part (a) At SATP, which of the following is true about the number of molecules per unit volume N/V of ideal gases? The number density of all ideal gasses at SATP is the same. ✔ Correct! 33% Part (b) Calculate N/V (in particles per cubic meter) for an ideal gas at SATP N/V = 2.43 * 1025N/V = 2.43E+25 ✔ Correct! 33% Part (c) How many atoms of an ideal gas at SATP are there in one cubic centimeter? - i need help with this onearrow_forwardThe gas law for an ideal gas at absolute temperature T (in kelvins), pressure P (in atmospheres), and volume V (in liters) is PV = nRT, where n is the number of moles of the gas and R = 0.0821 is the gas constant. Suppose that, at a certain instant, P = 7.0 atm and is increasing at a rate of 0.15 atm/min and V = 13 and is decreasing at a rate of 0.17 L/min. Find the rate of change of T with respect to time (in K/min) at that instant if n = 10 mol.(Round your answer to four decimal places.)arrow_forward
- There are two important isotopes of uranium- 235 U and 238 U; these isotopes are nearly identical chemically but have different atomic masses. Only 235 U is very useful in nuclear reactors. One of the techniques for separating them (gas diffusion) is based on the different average velocities Vrms of uranium hexafluoride gas. UF6. (a) The molecular masses for 235 U UF6 and 238 U UF6 are 349.0 g/mol and 352.0 g/mol, respectively. What is the ratio of their average velocities?arrow_forwardIf gas pressure (absolute value) for an ideal gas is held constant, the relationship between gas temperature and volume is direct inverse of the form y = mx + c O parabolicarrow_forwardA sealed box contains a monatomic ideal gas.
