Homework Statement
Find the diameter of one atom of argon given that Dp = 2 where D is diffusion and p is pressure.
The Attempt at a Solution
molar mass of argon is 40g/mol
using that for one atom can find mass in kgs.
but that's its!
im not given V, T or p. can put V in terms of d so that gives me one. need 2 so i can solve for the last one.
the relevant equation seems to be
$$Dp=\frac{1}{\pi d^3\sqrt{m}}(\frac{2kT}{\pi})^\frac{3}{2}$$
good luck finding d.
