The correct Answer is:
To find the pressure of hydrogen gas given the root mean square speed (vrms), density, and temperature, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between vrms, pressure, and density The root mean square speed (vrms) of an ideal gas can be expressed using the formula: \[ v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3P}{\rho}} \] Where: - \( P \) is the pressure of the gas, - \( \rho \) is the density of the gas. ### Step 2: Rearrange the formula to find pressure We can rearrange the formula to solve for pressure \( P \): \[ P = \frac{1}{3} \rho v_{rms}^2 \] ### Step 3: Substitute the known values We know: - \( v_{rms} = 3180 \, \text{m/s} \) - \( \rho = 8.99 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{kg/m}^3 \) Now substitute these values into the formula: \[ P = \frac{1}{3} \times (8.99 \times 10^{-2}) \times (3180)^2 \] ### Step 4: Calculate \( v_{rms}^2 \) First, calculate \( v_{rms}^2 \): \[ v_{rms}^2 = (3180)^2 = 10112400 \, \text{m}^2/\text{s}^2 \] ### Step 5: Calculate pressure \( P \) Now substitute \( v_{rms}^2 \) back into the pressure formula: \[ P = \frac{1}{3} \times (8.99 \times 10^{-2}) \times 10112400 \] Calculating this gives: \[ P = \frac{1}{3} \times 908,999.76 \approx 302,999.92 \, \text{Pa} \] ### Step 6: Convert pressure from Pascals to atmospheres To convert from Pascals to atmospheres, use the conversion factor \( 1 \, \text{atm} = 1.01 \times 10^5 \, \text{Pa} \): \[ P_{atm} = \frac{302999.92}{1.01 \times 10^5} \approx 3.00 \, \text{atm} \] ### Final Answer The pressure on the hydrogen gas is approximately **3.00 atm**. ---
