Question

Problem 15P

A gas has a temperature of 310 K and a pressure of 101 kPa. (a) Find the volume occupied by 1.25 mol of this gas, assuming it is ideal, (b) Assuming the gas molecules can be approximated as small spheres of diameter 2.5 × 10−10 m, determine the fraction of the volume found in part (a) that is occupied by the molecules, (c) In determining the properties of an ideal gas, we assume that molecules are point a of zero volume. Discuss the validity of this assumption for the case considered here.

Solution

Step 1 of 4

We need to find the volume occupied by of gas and the fraction of volume where the gas molecules of diameter is found. We also need to discuss the validity of assumption that the molecules are a point of zero volume in this question.

Given data:

is the temperature of the gas,
