Question:

(a) Show that the speed distribution function can be written n(v) = 4π-1/2 (v/vm)2v -1e-(v/vm)2, where vm is the most probable speed. Consider 1 mole of molecules and approximate dv by Δv = 0.01 vm. Find the number of molecules with speeds in dv at

(b) v = 0,

(c) v = vm

(d) v = 2vm, and 

(e) v = 8vm.
