Serway & Jewett β The Kinetic Theory of Gases: Problem 38.
A vessel contains \(1.00 \times 10^4\) oxygen molecules at \(500 \text{ K}\). (a) Make an accurate graph of the Maxwell speed distribution function versus speed with points at speed intervals of \(100 \text{ m/s}\). (b) Determine the most probable speed from this graph. (c) Calculate the average and rms speeds for the molecules and label these points on your graph. (d) From the graph, estimate the fraction of molecules with speeds in the range \(300 \text{ m/s}\) to \(600 \text{ m/s}\).
