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}} $
