Answer to Question #93839 in General Chemistry for Kyle

Question

How will the velocity of a gas molecule vary if its molecular weight is 1. Under which of the following volumes will 1.00 mol of an ideal gas exhibit the greatest pressure at 300 K? A. 0.01 L B. 0.10 L C. 1.00 L D. 10.0 L
Using ideal gas law to find volume

Answer 1

$v= \sqrt{\dfrac{3×8.314×300}{0.001×6.02×10^{23}}}=1.242×10^{-17} m/sec-molecule$

Boyle's law: $P\alpha 1/V$

Max pressure- V=0.01L

Answer: A. 0.01L
