Calclute the root mean square speed of Ne atoms at temperture at whic their average kinetics energy is 5.22kj/mol?
average kinetic energy = 5.22 kJ/mol
= 5.22 x 6.023 x 10^-23 x 10^3
= 3.14 x 10^-19 J
K E = 3/2 kT
k = 1.38 x 10^-23 J / K
3.14 x 10^-19 = 3/2 x 1.38 x 10^-23 x T
T = 15169 K
Vrms = sqrt (3 R T / M)
= sqrt (3x 8.314 x 15169 / 0.020)
Vrms = 4349.4 m / s
