You have two containers of equal volume. one is full of helium gas. the other holds an equal mass of nitrogen gas both gases have the same pressure how does thegas. bothgaseshavethesamepressure. howdoesthetemperature of the helium compare to the temperature of the nitrogen?

Respuesta :

Let's assume that both He and Nā‚‚ have ideal gas behavior.

Then we can use ideal gas law,
Ā  Ā  Ā PV = nRT
Where, P is the pressure of gas, V is the volume, n is moles of gas, R is universal gas constant and T is the temperature in Kelvin.

TheĀ PĀ andĀ VĀ areĀ sameĀ for the both gases.
R is a constant.

The only variables are n and T.

Let's say temperature ofĀ HeĀ isĀ T
₁ and temperature ofĀ Nā‚‚Ā isĀ Tā‚‚.

n = m/MĀ where n is moles, m is mass and M is molar mass.

Molar mass of He is 4 g/mol and molar mass of Nā‚‚ is 28 g/mol


Since mass (m)Ā of both gases are same,
Ā moles of He = m/4
Ā moles of Nā‚‚ = m/28


Let's apply the ideal gas equation for both gases.
For He gas,
Ā PV = (m/4)RT₁ Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā 
(1)

For N
ā‚‚ gas,
Ā PV = (m/28)RTā‚‚ Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā Ā 
Ā (2)

(1) = (2)
(m/4)RT₁ = (m/28)RTā‚‚Ā 
Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā Ā T₁/4 = Tā‚‚/28

Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  T₁ Ā  Ā = Tā‚‚/7

Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā Ā 7T
₁ Ā = Tā‚‚

Hence, the temperature of N
ā‚‚ gas is higher by 7 times than the temperature of He gas.

good job
