A. What is the number density? Assume T=20 degrees Celsius. Express your answer in reciprocal cubic meters.
B. What is the mean free path of a molecule?
Given the ideal gas law P V = k T, where k> 0 is a constant. We have the equation for V in terms of P and T. Finding the rate of change of the volume with respect to temperature at constant pressure, the interpretation of the result is:
1 Because this partial derivative is negative, the volume decreases as the temperature decreases at a fixed pressure. .
2. Because this partial derivative is negative, the volume increases as the temperature increases at a fixed pressure.
3. Because this partial derivative is positive, the volume increases as the temperature decreases at a fixed pressure.
4. Because this partial derivative is positive, the volume increases as the temperature increases at a fixed pressure.
