Kinetic-Molecular Theory of Gases
21. Kinetic Theory of Ideal Gases / Kinetic-Molecular Theory of Gases / Problem 2
Argon gas is stored in a tank with a rectangular surface of sides 15 cm and 25 cm. The tank is pressurized to 3.0 atm and kept at a temperature of 300 K. The root mean square velocity of the argon gas is found to be 430 m/s. Calculate the number of collisions per second that occur on the rectangular surface of the tank.
