Can anybody help me with my physics homework?
1. If 3.00 m^3 of gas initially at standard temperature and pressure (STP) is placed under a pressure of 4.0 atm, the temperature of the gas rises to 311 K. What is the new volume? 1 atm = 101300 Pa
a) 3.17 m^3
b) 0.85 m^3
c) 0.03 m^3
2. Twelve molecules have the following speeds, given in units of km/s: 6, 2, 4, 6, 0, 4, 1, 8, 5, 3, 7 and 8. Calculate the RMS speed.
a) 54 km/s
b) 4.5 km/s
c) 5.2 km/s
3. Calculate the RMS speed of helium atoms near the surface of the Sun at a temperature of 6000 K.
a) 6100 m/s
b) 350 m/s
c) 12200 m/s
4. A mole of hydrogen (H2) gas is in equilibrium at a temperature of 300 K. What is the internal energy of the gas?
a) 6.21 x 10^-21 J
b) 3745 J
c) 7490 J
5. Using kinetic theory ideas, estimate the RMS speed of a protein of molecular mass 50000 u at temperature of 37 degC.
u = 1.66 x 10^-27 kg.
a) 2781 m/s
b) 4.3 m/s
c) 12 m/s
6. Which of the following is not a postulate underlying kinetic theory.
a) The particles in the gas are close together.
b) The gas is ideal.
c) The number of particles in the gas is large.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
