For each of the quantities listed below, explain which of the following properties (mass of the molecule, density of the gas sample, temperature of the gas sample, size of the molecule, and number of moles of gas) must be known to calculate the quantity. average number of collisions per second with other gas molecules
Solution
VerifiedThe number of collisions per second with other gas molecules can be a function of the density of the gas sample, temperature of the gas sample, and the number of moles of gas.
The more gas particles per unit volume (density or number of moles), the more likely the gas particles will collide with each other. Also, more collisions can occur if the gas particles move at a greater velocity, which can be affected by temperature.
