1.

According to the kinetic theory model, what is the relation between the temperature of a gas and the mechanical properties of the moving gas particles?




2.

Room temperature is taken to be 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Estimate how much the temperature would rise if the kinetic energy of every gas particle in the room would double.



3.

The rms speed of the Oxygen Molecule (5.3x10-26 kg) in air at 0 oC is

  1. 0 m/s.
  2. 388 m/s.
  3. 462 m/s.
  4. 490 m/s.
  5. 510 m/s.
