Chapter , Problem 26

(choose chapter or problem)

A1.0-L box contains molecules of an ideal gas, and the positions of the molecules are observed 100 times per second. Calculate the average time it should take before we observe all molecules in the left half of the box if is equal to (a) 10, (b) 100, (c) 1000, and (d) 1.0 mole. (e) The best vacuums that have been created to date have pressures of about If a vacuum chamber has the same volume as the box, how long will a physicist have to wait before all of the gas molecules in the vacuum chamber occupy only the left half of it? Compare that to the expected lifetime of the universe, which is about years.
