Estimate the average thermal energy of a helium atom at room temperature (27 °C).

उत्तर
At room temperature, T = 27°C = 300 K
Average thermal energy = `3/2` kT
Where k is Boltzmann constant = 1.38 × 10–23 m2 kg s–2 K–1
`therefore 3/2kT = 3/2 xx 1.38 xx 10^(-38) xx 300`
= 6.21 × 10–21J
Hence, the average thermal energy of a helium atom at room temperature (27°C) is 6.21 × 10–21 J.

The figure shows the plot of PV/T versus Pfor 1.00×10–3 kg of oxygen gas at two different temperatures.

(a) What does the dotted plot signify?
(b) Which is true: T1 > T2 or T1 < T2?
(c) What is the value of PV/T where the curves meet on the y-axis?
(d) If we obtained similar plots for 1.00 ×10–3 kg of hydrogen, would we get the same value of PV/T at the point where the curves meet on the y-axis? If not, what mass of hydrogen yields the same value of PV/T (for low pressure high temperature region of the plot)? (Molecular mass of H2 = 2.02 u, of O2 = 32.0 u, R = 8.31 J mo1–1 K–1.)
An oxygen cylinder of volume 30 litres has an initial gauge pressure of 15 atm and a temperature of 27 °C. After some oxygen is withdrawn from the cylinder, the gauge pressure drops to 11 atm and its temperature drops to 17 °C. Estimate the mass of oxygen taken out of the cylinder (R = 8.31 J mol–1 K–1, molecular mass of O2 = 32 u)
