JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 12 . kinetic theory of gases

A \(25\times10^{-3}\, m^3\) volume cylinder is filled with \(1\, mol\) of \(O_2\) gas at room temperature \((300\, K)\). The molecular diameter of \(O_2\), and its root mean square speed, are found to be \(0.3\, nm\) and \(200\, m/s\), respectively. What is the average collision rate (per second) for an \(O_2\) molecule?

  1. A \(\sim 10^{10}\)
  2. B \(\sim 10^{11}\)
  3. C \(\sim 10^{12}\)
  4. D \(\sim 10^{13}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\sim 10^{10}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(v=\frac{V_{a v}}{\lambda}\) \(\lambda=\frac{\mathrm{RT}}{\sqrt{2} \pi \sigma^{2} \mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{A}} \mathrm{P}}\) \(\sigma=2 \times 0.3 \times 10^{-9}\) \(P=\frac{R T}{V}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad=\frac{V}{\sqrt{2} \pi \sigma^{2} N_{A}}\)…
