Question
A container with rigid walls holds $n$ moles of a monatomic ideal gas. In terms of $n$, how many moles of the gas must be removed from the container to double the pressure while also doubling the rms speed of the gas atoms?
Step 1
First, we need to recall the equation for the pressure of an ideal gas: P = nRT/V, where P is the pressure, n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant, T is the temperature, and V is the volume. Since the container has rigid walls, the volume remains Show more…

A sealed container holds 0.020 moles of ideal nitrogen (N2) gas, at a pressure of 1.6 atm and a temperature of 292 K. The atomic mass of nitrogen is 14.0 g/mol. How many molecules of nitrogen are in the container? What is the volume of nitrogen gas in the container? (R = 8.31 J/mol·K, 1 atm = 1.013x105 N/m2)
A monatomic ideal gas at pressure P = 105 Pa is in a container of volume V = 12 m3 while at temperature T = 50ºC. How many molecules of gas are in the container? (Assume R = 8.31 J/mol K and NA = 6.023 x 1023 particles / mol )
