Video transcript

Welcome back everybody. We are taking a look and are given 2. moles of a mono atomic gas inside of a container of constant volume. Now we want to increase the temperature by Kelvin and we are tasked with finding how much heat we need to supply to it to make that happen. Well, there's a formula for this. We have, the amount of heat we need to supply is equivalent to the number of moles times the molar heat capacity, times our desired change in temperature. Now we have these end terms right here. What is the molar heat capacity? Well, for a mono atomic gas, you're going to have that. It's equal to three halves times are ideal gas constant. I'm actually going to sub this in for our tv term right here and we get that Q. Is equal to end. Times three half times are times our delta T. So let's go ahead and plug in our values here we have 2.5 moles times three half Time is the ideal gas constant of 8.314 times our desired temperature change of 44 Kelvin. And when you multiply the cost, we get that. The amount of heat we need to supply is duels corresponding to answer choice. D thank you all so much for watching. Hope this video helped. We will see you all in the next one

How Close Together Are Gas Molecules? Consider an ideal gas at 27°C and 1.00 atm. To get some idea how close these molecules are to each other, on the average, imagine them to be uniformly spaced, with each molecule at the center of a small cube. (a) What is the length of an edge of each cube if adjacent cubes touch but do not overlap?

Meteorology. The vapor pressure is the pressure of the vapor phase of a substance when it is in equilibrium with the solid or liquid phase of the substance. The relative humidity is the partial pressure of water vapor in the air divided by the vapor pressure of water at that same temperature, expressed as a percentage. The air is saturated when the humidity is 100%. (a) The vapor pressure of water at 20.0°C is 2.34 * 10^3 Pa. If the air temperature is 20.0°C and the relative humidity is 60%, what is the partial pressure of water vapor in the atmosphere (that is, the pressure due to water vapor alone)?
