The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the two cases results in more grams of gas molecules hitting a unit area in unit time, we will use the ideal gas equation and some basic principles of gas behavior. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Problem:** We need to compare the number of grams of gas molecules hitting a unit area in unit time for two different gases under different conditions. 2. **Identify Given Data:** - Case I: \( H_2 \) at 1 atm and 50 K - Case II: \( O_2 \) at 2 atm and 200 K 3. **Use the Ideal Gas Equation:** The ideal gas equation is given by: \[ PV = nRT \] where: - \( P \) = pressure - \( V \) = volume - \( n \) = number of moles - \( R \) = ideal gas constant - \( T \) = temperature in Kelvin 4. **Calculate the Mass of Gas in Each Case:** We can rearrange the ideal gas equation to find the mass (\( W \)): \[ W = \frac{PVM}{RT} \] where \( M \) is the molar mass of the gas. 5. **Calculate for Case I (Hydrogen, \( H_2 \)):** - Pressure \( P = 1 \) atm - Volume \( V = 1 \) L (assuming unit volume) - Molar mass of \( H_2 = 2 \) g/mol - Temperature \( T = 50 \) K Substituting these values: \[ W_{H_2} = \frac{(1 \text{ atm})(1 \text{ L})(2 \text{ g/mol})}{R \cdot 50 \text{ K}} \] Simplifying: \[ W_{H_2} = \frac{2}{50R} = \frac{1}{25R} \] 6. **Calculate for Case II (Oxygen, \( O_2 \)):** - Pressure \( P = 2 \) atm - Volume \( V = 1 \) L - Molar mass of \( O_2 = 32 \) g/mol - Temperature \( T = 200 \) K Substituting these values: \[ W_{O_2} = \frac{(2 \text{ atm})(1 \text{ L})(32 \text{ g/mol})}{R \cdot 200 \text{ K}} \] Simplifying: \[ W_{O_2} = \frac{64}{200R} = \frac{32}{100R} = \frac{16}{50R} \] 7. **Comparison of Masses:** Now we compare \( W_{H_2} \) and \( W_{O_2} \): \[ W_{H_2} = \frac{1}{25R} \quad \text{and} \quad W_{O_2} = \frac{16}{50R} = \frac{8}{25R} \] Since \( \frac{8}{25R} > \frac{1}{25R} \), we conclude that: \[ W_{O_2} > W_{H_2} \] 8. **Final Conclusion:** More grams of gas molecules will hit a unit area in unit time in Case II (Oxygen, \( O_2 \)). ### Answer: The answer is \( O_2 \) at 2 atm and 200 K.
