Estimate the average thermal energy of a helium atom the temperature of 10 million kelvin (the typical core temperature in the case of a star)

Estimate the average mass density of a sodium atom assuming its size to be about 2.5 overset@A . (Use the known values of Avogadro’s number and the atomic mass of sodium). Compare it with the density of sodium in its crystalline phase : 970 kg m^-3 . Are the two densities of the same order of magnitude ? If so, why ?

Estimate the fraction of electrons,which are excited from the energy gap of 1.1 eV at a temperature of 300 K. Given Boltzmann's constant, k=1.38 xx 10^(-23) J .

Arrhenius studies the effect of temperature on the rate of a reaction and postulated that rate constant varies with temperature exponentially as k=Ae^(-E_(a)//RT) . This method is generally used for finding the activation energy of a reaction. Keeping temperature constant, the effect of catalyst on the activation energy has also been studied. If x is the fraction of molecules having energy greater than E_(a) it will be given by : a) x=-(E_(a))/(RT) b) In x=-(E_(a))/(RT) c) x=e^(E_(a)//RT) d) Any of these
