Chapter , Problem 62

(choose chapter or problem)

A sample of liquid cesium is heated in an oven to 400 Cand the resulting vapor is used to produce an atomic beam.The volume of the oven is 55 cm3, the vapor pressure of Csat 400C is 17 mm-Hg, and the diameter of cesium atoms inthe vapor is 0.33 nm. (a) Calculate the mean speed ofcesium atoms in the vapor. (b) Determine the number ofcollisions a single Cs atom undergoes with other cesiumatoms per second, (c) Determine the total number of collisionsper second between all of the cesium atoms in thevapor. Note that a collision involves two Cs atoms andassume the ideal gas law holds.
