Let us model the air as all nitrogen of molecular mass 28.0 g/mol having molecules of diameter 0.500 nm that are moving at their root-mean-square speed. Avogadro's number is 6.02 × 1023 molecules/mol, the ideal gas constant is 8.31 J/mol ? K, and the Boltzmann constant is 1.38 × 10-23 J/K. Calculate reasonable estimates for (a) the root-mean-square speed of the nitrogen molecules. (b) the average distance a typical molecule travels between collisions. (c) the average time a molecule travels between collisions, assuming that the molecules are moving at their root-mean-square speeds. (d) the number of collisions an average molecule undergoes per second. What will be an ideal response?
