Luxes explored an unknown planet with an atmosphere made of pure nitrogen. Suddenly, he shrunk to the size and mass of nitrogen molecules and moved at an average (RMS) room temperature speed. (a) How fast is Luxes moving? (b) If the temperature increases by a factor of 5, by what factor would the average (RMS) speed of the molecule-sized Luxes change?

By counting squares in the following figure, estimate the fraction of argon atoms at T = 300 K that have speeds between 400 m/s and 600 m/s. The curve is correctly normalized. The value of a square is its length as measured on the x-axis times its height as measured on the y-axis, with the units given on those axes. 28.57 f(v) (s/m) 0.0025 0.002 0.0015 0.001 0.0005 X 0 0 200 400 600 v (m/s) 800 1000 1200

Two containers of equal volume each hold samples of the same ideal gas. Container A has 3 times as many molecules as container B. If the gas pressure is the same in the two containers, find the ratio of the the absolute temperatures TA and TB ( i.e TA / TB ) . Calculate to 2 decimals.
According to the Ideal Gas Law, PV = kT, where P is pressure, V is volume, T is temperature (in kelvins), and k is a constant of proportionality.
