Calculate the following quantities for the specified gases at the indicated conditions. Use the following molecular masses: MCH14 =16.043 g/mole and MO2 =31.998 g/mole. Assume that both gases are described by the Kinectic Molecular Theory (of ideal gases). T= 26.85°C and 624.5 torr CH4(g) O2(g) KE XXXXXXXXXXJ/mole XXXXXXXXXXJ/mole Vmp XXXXXXXXXXm/sec m/sec T=600.0K and 136.kPa KE J/mole J/mole Vmp m/sec m/sec A simple way to calculate the “fraction of particles” having a particular speed is use th “the most probable speed” as a reference point. Starting with the Maxwell-Boltzman equation for the distribution of the speeds of ideal gas particles, one obtains: Start with the above equation and show step by step, that ratio of the fraction of the particles having speeds twice the most probable speed to the fraction of the partcles having the most probable speed is, at any temperature, a constant. Furthermore, show that the value of this ratio is gthe same for any temperature. That is :
