The average rate at which the neon atoms collide with one side of the container is [tex]3.31 \times 10^{26} \ atoms/s[/tex].
The given parameters;
The average kinetic energy of the gas molecules is calculated as follows;
[tex]K = \frac{3}{2} \frac{R}{N_a} T\\\\K = \frac{3 \times 8.314\times 298}{2\times 6.022 \times 10^{23}} \\\\K = 6.17\times 10^{-21} \ J/atoms[/tex]
The average speed of the gas molecules is calculated as follows;
[tex]K = \frac{1}{2}mv_{rms}^2\\\\v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{2K}{m} } \\\\v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 6.17 \times 10^{-21}}{3.35\times 10^{-26}} } \\\\v_{rms} = 607 \ m/s[/tex]
The time of collision of the gas molecules with the walls of the container is calculated as follows;
[tex]t = \frac{2d}{v} \\\\t = \frac{2\times 0.368}{607} \\\\t = 0.0012 \ s[/tex]
The average rate at which the gases collide with a single wall out of the 3 identical walls is calculated as follows;
[tex]rate =\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{n \times N_a}{t} \\\\rate = \frac{1.98 \times 6.02 \times 10^{23} \ atoms}{3 \times 0.0012 \ s} \\\\rate = 3.31 \times 10^{26} \ atoms/s[/tex]
Thus, the average rate at which the gases collide with one side of the container is [tex]3.31 \times 10^{26} \ atoms/s[/tex].
