The root-mean-square speed is essential in measuring the average speed of particles
|
||||
contained in a gas, defined as,
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
| Vrms = √3RT/M |
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
In Kinetic Molecular Theory, gasified particles are in a condition of constant random
|
||||
motion; each particle moves at a completely different pace, perpetually clashing and
|
||||
changing directions consistently velocity is used to describe the movement of gas
|
||||
particles, thereby taking into account both speed and direction. Although the velocity
|
||||
of gaseous particles is constantly changing, the distribution of velocities does not
|
||||
change.
|
||||
We cannot gauge the velocity of every individual particle, thus we frequently reason
|
||||
in terms of the particles average behavior. Particles moving in opposite directions
|
||||
have velocities of opposite signs. Since gas particles are in random motion, it's
|
||||
plausible that there'll be about as several moving in one direction as within the other
|
||||
way, which means that the average velocity for a collection of gas particles equals
|
||||
zero; as this value is unhelpful, the average of velocities can be determined using an
|
||||
alternative method.
