Kinetic Theory Of Gases Question 46

Question: One gram mole of nitrogen at $ 27{}^\circ C $ and 1 aim pressure is contained in a vessel and the molecules are moving with their rms speed. The number of collisions per second which the vessel’s wall is

Options:

A) $ 2\times 10^{27} $

B) $ ~2\times 10^{20} $

C) $ 2\times 10^{10} $

D) $ ~2\times 10^{24} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] Number of collisions can be calculated as $ 2(mv _{rms})=PA $
$ \

Therefore n=[ \frac{PA}{2mv _{rms}} ];v _{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3kT}{m}} $
