Calculation of Atomic Mass of Gas XGiven:
- Temperature of He gas = 100 K
- Temperature of Gas X = 1250 K
- De-Broglie wavelength of He gas = 5 * De-Broglie wavelength of Gas X
Formula:De-Broglie wavelength (λ) = h/p
where h is Planck's constant and p is momentum
Calculation:Let us first calculate the De-Broglie wavelength of He gas at 100 K.
De-Broglie wavelength of He gas (λ1) = h/(√(2*m*kb*T))
where m is the mass of He atom, kb is the Boltzmann constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin
De-Broglie wavelength of Gas X (λ2) = h/(√(2*M*kb*T))
where M is the mass of Gas X atom
Given that λ1 = 5 * λ2
So, h/(√(2*m*kb*T)) = 5 * h/(√(2*M*kb*T))
Simplifying the above equation, we get
M/m = 25
Therefore, the atomic mass of Gas X is 25 times the atomic mass of He.
This means that Gas X could be Neon (Ne), which has an atomic mass of 20 u, or Argon (Ar), which has an atomic mass of 40 u.
