QUESTION:
(II) Show that the rms speed of molecules in a gas is given by rms =
where P is the pressure in the gas and
is the gas density.
ANSWER:
Solution 53P
Step 1 of 3
Here we have to show that rms speed value is equal to .
Where is the pressure,
is the density.
- From ideal gas laws, we know that
Where ,
and
are pressure , volume and temperature respectively, N is number of molecules and K is constant.
