1.

the diameter of a molecule of argon gas is d .find the mean free path of molecules of argon at 37°C temperature and 10^5 PA pressure.(KB = Boltzmann constant )​

Answer»

Given :

Diameter of molecule = d

Temperature = 37°C

Pressure = 10⁵ Pa

To FIND :

Mean free path of ARGON molecules.

Solution :

❖ The mean free path is the average distance travelled by a moving molecule between collisions.

Formula :

\dag\:\underline{\boxed{\bf{\purple{\lambda=\dfrac{K_BT}{\sqrt2P\pi d^2}}}}}

  • \sf{K_B} denotes Boltzmann constant
  • T denotes temperature
  • P denotes pressure
  • d denotes diameter

By substituting the given values;

\sf:\implies\:\lambda=\dfrac{K_BT}{\sqrt2P\pi d^2}

  • Temperature = 37°C = 310K

\sf:\implies\:\lambda=\dfrac{1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 310}{\sqrt2(10^5)(3.14)d^2}

\sf:\implies\:\lambda=\dfrac{96.62\times 10^{-23}}{(10^5)d^2}

:\implies\:\underline{\boxed{\bf{\orange{\lambda=\dfrac{9.66\times10^{-27}}{d^2}\:m}}}}
