ME 3250 Lecture Notes - Lecture 15: Ideal Gas, Scuba Diving, Ideal Gas Law
Document Summary
The average kinetic energy of a molecule in a monatomic ideal gas is given by: If the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a monatomic ideal gas at 27c is doubled, what is the resulting temperature of the gas? it becomes 327 degrees c. Suppose the pressure on 20g of an ideal monatomic gas is tripled while its volume is halved. The absolute temperature of an ideal gas is directly proportional to which of the following properties, when taken as an average, of the molecules of that gas? kinetic energy. For an ideal gas of a given mass, if the pressure remains the same and the volume increases: the average kinetic energy of the molecules increases. John rapidly pulls a plunger out of a cylinder increasing its volume. As the plunger moves away, the gas molecules bouncing elastically off the plunger are: rebounding at a lower speed than they would have if the plunger weren"t removed.
