Rms speeds at 20 degrees celcius of atoms of helium

We'll be happy to help you with any specific questions you have about these problems, but you need to show some work on your own first.In summary, the first question asks for the rms speed of helium atoms at 20 degrees celcius, while the second question asks for the temperature at which oxygen gas has an escape speed of 11.2 km/s. The third question involves finding the change in internal energy and heat absorbed for a mole of an ideal monatomic gas being heated from 0 to 100 degrees celcius under constant volume and constant pressure conditions.

1. Calculate the rms speeds at 20 degrees celcius of atoms of
helium (4u)?

2. The escapte speed from the surface of the Earth is 11.2 km/s. Find at what temp. the following gas (O2) have this value as the rms speed?

3. One mole of an ideal monatomic gas is heated from 0 degrees celcius to 100 degrees celcius. Find the chnage in internal energy and the heat absorbed, given that the process takes place under the follwoing condition:
(a) constant volume
(b) constant pressure

1. What is the RMS speed of helium atoms at 20 degrees Celsius?

The RMS (root-mean-square) speed of helium atoms at 20 degrees Celsius is approximately 1,420 meters per second.

2. How is the RMS speed of helium atoms calculated?

The RMS speed of helium atoms can be calculated using the formula: √(3RT/M), where R is the gas constant, T is the temperature in Kelvin, and M is the molar mass of helium.

3. What factors affect the RMS speed of helium atoms at 20 degrees Celsius?

The RMS speed of helium atoms at 20 degrees Celsius is affected by temperature, molar mass, and the gas constant. As temperature increases, the RMS speed also increases. A higher molar mass will result in a lower RMS speed, and a lower gas constant will result in a higher RMS speed.

4. Why is the RMS speed of helium atoms important to know?

The RMS speed of helium atoms is important to know because it provides information about the average kinetic energy of the atoms. It is also useful in understanding the behavior of gases and their properties.

5. How does the RMS speed of helium atoms compare to other elements?

The RMS speed of helium atoms at 20 degrees Celsius is relatively high compared to other elements. This is due to its low molar mass and the fact that it is a noble gas, which has less intermolecular forces compared to other gases.
