Question

Estimate pressure of air molecules at 273 K, if mean square speed is 500m²/s² and density of air is 6kg/m³:

Options
  • A

    1 x 10³ Pa

  • B

    2.5 x 10² Pa

  • C

    1 x 10² Pa

  • D

    2.7 x 10³ Pa

Explanation

We are going to be using the formula; Pressure= ⅓ x density x mean square speed.

The formula for measuring pressure of the gas is given under:

P=1/3xdx√2rms

Root mean square velocity is explained as under:

Remember the formula has square of root mean square velocity.

Now lets plug in all values in the formula

  P=1/3 x 6 x 500

    =1000 or 1x10³Pa

This option is incorrect.
