1) Find the probability distribution of the velocities of a molecule in an ideal, classical, monoatomic gas, that is, the probability P(v) du of any given particle of the gas to have a velocity between v= [v] and v + dv. (By v I mean the magnitude of the velocity). 2) Would the result in 1) be valid for a non-ideal gas (that is, a gas where the molecules interact through a interparticle potential)? 3) What is the average velocity of an air molecule at normal everyday temperature and pressure (Yes, it is part of the problem to make sense of this). 4) What is the relative change in average velocities between a pleasant 70F day and a freezing, 20F day? 1) Find the probability distribution of the velocities of a molecule in an ideal, classical, monoatomic gas, that is, the probability P(v) du of any given particle of the gas to have a velocity between v= [v] and v + dv.
