What is the average velocity of atoms in 1.00 mol of neon (a monatomic gas) at 288k? a) 8.47 m/s b) 847 m/s c) 71.8 m/s d) 718,000 m/s

You could solve this in two ways: using the ideal gas law (Van der Waals parameters optional), or by using the density. Since you specify a pressure and temperature (in kelvin), I will use the ideal gas law. Ideal gas law: PV=nRT P = pressure = 1.00 ATM V = volume = 1.00 L n = moles = what you're solving for R = gas constant = 0.0821 L*ATM/(mol*T) (T is absolute temperature (kelvin)) T = absolute temperature = 298 K (1.00atm)(1.00L) = n(0.0821L*ATM*mol -1 T -1 )(298K) n = 0.04 moles A n = Avogadro's Number = number of molecules in one mole = 6.022141 * 10 23 0.04 * 6.022141*10 23 = 2.409 * 10 22 molecules of N 2 in 1.00L at 1.00atm and 298K

the total distance that martina travels that day is

(distance from home to mom's office) plus (distance from mom's office to school)

plus (distance from school to library) plus (distance from library to friend's house)

plus (distance from friend's house to martina's house).

(we don't know what any of these distance actually is.)
