Burt states that the molecular model of an ideal gas assumes that the molecules
of the gas do not collide with one another. Brooks states that it assumes that there
is only one molecule moving back and forth between opposite walls in the
container. Which one, if either, is correct?
a.
Burt, because the time interval between collisions with the same wall is
2d
, where v, the velocity, is perpendicular to two opposite walls.

Brooks, because t will be greater if there is more than one molecule in the

Both, because (a) and (b) are both correct.
Both, because t , a time average over the components of velocity
to pairs of walls, is correct as long as the density is low and collisions are
elastic.

Open-Ended Problems

A 50-gram sample of dry ice (solid CO2) is placed in a 4-liter container. The
system is sealed and allowed to reach room temperature (20C). By
approximately how much does the pressure inside the container increase when
the dry ice turns to gas? (Ignore the initial volume of the sample.)
32.
One mole of helium gas expands adiabatically from 2 atm pressure to 1 atm
pressure. If the original temperature of the gas is 20C, what is the final
temperature of the gas? ( = 1.67)
33.
Air expands adiabatically (no heat in, no heat out) from T = 300 K and
P = 100 atm to a final pressure of 1 atm. Treat the gas as ideal with = 1.4, and
determine the final temperature. Compare your result to the boiling points of
nitrogen (77.4 K) and oxygen (90.2 K). Could this method result in the
liquification of air?

During the volcanic eruption of Mt. Pelee in 1902, an incredibly hot burning
cloud rolled down the mountain and incinerated the town of Saint-Pierre. From
the damage done, the temperature in the cloud was estimated at 700C. If the air
temperature was 20C and the molecular weight of air is 29 grams, estimate the
molecular weight of the gas in the burning cloud that made it heavier than the
surrounding air. [As a follow-on, estimate the most probable composition of the
cloud. Some typical volcanic gases are H2S, SO2, H2SO4, CO2, NO.]
