A sealed container of volume 0.35m3 holds 1.6mol of a monoatomic gas that can be treated as ideal. The temperature of the gas is 320K.
One mole of the gas has a mass of 4.0×10−2kg.
a. Calculate the pressure of the gas in the container.
b. Determine the mass of the gas in the container.
c. Calculate the average translational speed of the gas particles.
d. The temperature of the gas in the container is increased.
Explain, using the kinetic theory, how this change leads to a change in pressure in the container.
