The particle number fluctuates by N1/2. At which value of N does this correspond to 0.1% of N?
Relating this to a volume is a step that comes afterwards.
So we need 0.001N = N^1/2. Solving N = 1,000,000. But I don't see where to go from here without any more info?mfb said:There is no "N for standard conditions".

Some problems need more than one step. Finding N is the first step, finding the volume is the second.Lagraaaange said:But one needs a volume
Good. Now you can find the volume that has (on average) 1 million particles in it. How many particles are in a mole? What is the volume of a mole at standard conditions?So we need 0.001N = N^1/2. Solving N = 1,000,000. But I don't see where to go from here without any more info?
The kinetic theory of matter states that all particles in matter are constantly in motion and that the temperature of a substance is directly related to the average kinetic energy of its particles.
The assumptions of the kinetic theory include that all particles in a substance are in constant motion, the particles are constantly colliding with each other and the walls of their container, and there is empty space between the particles.
The size of a cubical element is important in the kinetic theory because it affects the accuracy of the calculations used to determine the behavior of particles in a substance. A smaller cubical element allows for more precise calculations, but can also be computationally expensive.
The size of a cubical element is typically determined by the specific substance being studied and the level of accuracy needed for the calculations. Generally, a smaller cubical element is used for more complex substances and larger elements for simpler substances.
Yes, there are limitations to the assumptions of the kinetic theory. For example, the theory does not account for intermolecular forces, which can affect the behavior of particles in a substance. Additionally, at very high pressures or low temperatures, the assumptions may no longer hold true.
