In a certain region of outer space there are only 100 molecules per `cm^(3)` on an average. The temperature there is about 3 K. What is the average pressure of this very dilute gas.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the average pressure of a very dilute gas in outer space, we can use the ideal gas law in a modified form suitable for a low-density gas. The formula we will use is: \[ P = \frac{n k_B T}{V} \] Where: - \( P \) = pressure (in Pascals) - \( n \) = number of molecules per unit volume (in molecules per cubic meter) - \( k_B \) = Boltzmann's constant (\( 1.38 \times 10^{-23} \, \text{J/K} \)) ...
