What do you mean by mean free path of a gas molecule?

Write short note on mean free path.

The decomposition of dimethyl ether leads to the formation of CH_4, H_2 and CO and the reaction rate is given by Rate = k [CH_3OCH_3]^(3/2) . The rate of reaction is followed by increase in pressure in a closed vessel, so the rate can also be expressed in terms of the partial pressure of dimethyl ether, i.e., Rate= k (P_(CH_3OCH_3 )^(3/2) If the pressure is measured in bar and time in minutes, then what are the units of rate and rate constants?

Write sshort note on root mean square velocity of gas molecules.

What is mean free path of a gas molecule? Show that the mean free path is inversely proportional to the pressure of the gas. Does the mean free path depend upon the temperature of the gas?

6xx10^(22) gas molecules each of mass 10^(-24)kg are taken in a vessel of 10 litre. What is the pressure exerted by gas molecules ? The root mean square speed of gas molecules is 100 m//s .

At room temperature following traction goes to completion 2AB(g)+B_(2)(g)rarr2AB_(2)(s) AB_(2) is solid with negligble vapour pressure below 0^(@)C . At 300 K, the AB in the smaller flask exerts a pressure of 3 atm and in the larger flask B_(2) exerts a pressure of 1 atm at 400 K when they are separated out by a close valve, The gases are mixed by opening the stop cock and after the end of the reaction the flask are cooled to 250 K The final pressure is :

A vessel is filled with a gas at a pressure of 76 cm of mercury at a certain temperature. The mass of the gas is increased by 50% by introducing more gas in the vessel at the same temperature. Find out the resultant pressure of the gas.

In kinetic theory of gases, a molecule of mass m of an ideal gas collides with a wall of vessel with velocity 'v'. The change in the linear momentum of the molecule is:

At 27^(@)C a sample of ammonia gas exerts a pressure of 5.3 atm. What is the pressure when the volume of the gas is reduced to one-tenth of the original value at the same temperature ?
