(ii) By what factor does the rms molecular speed of the molecules change? (iii) By what factor does the average momentum change that one molecule undergoes in a collision with one particular wall? (iv) By what factor does the rate of collisions of molecules with walls change? (v) By what factor does the pressure of the gas change?

An ideal gas is held in a container of volume V at pressure p. The speed of a gas molecule with average kinetic energy under these conditions is v. If now the volume and pressure are changed to 3V and 3p, what is the average speed of a molecule. Explain your answer.

A gas is at 200 K. (a) If we wish to double the rms speed of the molecules of the gas, to what value must we raise its temperature? (b) Calculate the increase in pressure during this increase in temperature (assume Pi = 6x10^4 Pa and a constant volume). (c) At the final temperature, what is the typical ("average") force transferred to the walls of a 1m^3 container by a single molecule colliding with the wall. The container is cubic.

00:01 All right, so let's say the temperature of an ideal gas is initially 500 kelvin, and then it's increased by 1 ,500 kelvin.
00:08 So this is three times the initial temperature.
00:11 We want to know what factor does the average kinetic energy of the gas change.
00:16 So the average kinetic energy, we'll just call this k, is going to be like basically three halves kt.
00:25 And so the new energy k prime as we can see is just going to be three halves k t prime and you can see since t prime is three times this this should just equal three times the original kinetic energy and we want to know what about the rms speed so the rms speed is going to be the square root of three kt over m and so the new speed is just going to really just be the square root of three times the original value due to that and then what factor does the momentum that one molecule undergoes any collision with a particular wall? all right, so let's...
01:07 And so the change in momentum is just going to be like m times v or 2mv, basically under a collision.
01:16 And so this is going to equal, once again, the square root of three times like, we'll call this v prime, the square root of three times the original change...
