Question: a. What is the average time required for H 2 to travel 1.00 meter at 298 K and 1 atm? b. How much longer does

a. What is the average time required for H2 to travel 1.00 meter at 298 K and 1 atm?

b. How much longer does it take N2 to travel 1 m on average relative to H2 under these same conditions?

c. (Challenging) What fraction of N2 particles will require more than this average time to travel 1 m? 

Answering this question will require evaluating a definite integral of the speed distribution, which requires using numerical methods such as Simpson’s rule.
