The kinetic model of an ideal gas Contents: Basic Concept Example Whiteboards
Kinetics The average kinetic energy of an ideal gas particle temp and T monatomic Average KE of an ideal gas particle (J) kb Boltzmann s Constant (1.38x10-23 JK-1) T absolute temperature in Kelvins R the gas constant (8.31 JK-1mol-1) NA Avocado's number (6.02x1023 mol-1)
Kinetics What is the RMS velocity of a helium molecule in the thermosphere that is at 1800 oC? (what RMS means, why helium doesn t stick around) 3590 m/s
Maxwellian Distribution of Molecular Speeds Vp and Vrms example of rms
asymptotic nature Vrms He 3,350 m/s Vesc from t-sphere 10,000 m/s
