Approximate Computation of Speed in Ideal Gases


Given that the fraction of molecules with speeds between s and s+ds is given by equation 2-16, Dykstra's "Physical Chemistry, A Modern Introduction", calculate the ratio of the fraction of nitrogen molecules at 100 °K in a flask containing exactly one mole of nitrogen whose velocities (speeds) are in the range from 300.0 to 300.1 meter/second to the fraction of nitrogen molecules at 100 °K in a flask containing exactly one mole of nitrogen whose velocities (speeds) are in the range from 500.0 to 500.1 meter/second
