Kinetic Theory of Gases problem 16


The temperature of an ideal gas increases from to in a large container.


  • Explain how the movement of the gas molecules causes pressure in the container.


  • The temperature of a gas depends on the root-mean-square (r.m.s.) speed of its molecules. Calculate the ratio:


    .
