Homework Statement


A container has neon gas in the temperature 273 K. We heat the container to the temperature 373 k, keeping the volume constant. Find the average velocity of the molecules of neon before and after the heat.

Homework Equations



U=3/2vRT

The Attempt at a Solution


I thought to us the formula U=3/2vRT but I don't have delta U.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
ΔU = ΔQ + ΔW, since no work was done by/to the system then ΔW = 0, and you're left with ΔU = ΔQ !
Hope this help :) !

How can I find the ΔQ?
 
Energy (U) is proportional to temperature (T). How do you relative speed (v) and temperature (T)? Hint: What form of energy do the molecules possess?
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
