Rotating molecules of a gas

Level 2

Consider a thermally insulated cylinder containing ideal gas having triatomic rigid molecules having moment of inertia about center of mass I = 3 × 1 0 46 Kg m 2 I = 3 \times 10^{-46} \text{ Kg} m^2 each. The initial temperature is T 0 = 400 K T_{0} = 400K . Now , the gas is compressed by a factor of n = 4 n=4 , such that in the time of compression, volume V V decreases linearly with time t t . Clearly, over this time the root mean square angular velocity, Ω = < ω 2 > \Omega = \sqrt{<\omega^2>} of particles would change . Find the value of < Ω 2 > \sqrt{<\Omega^2>} (in m/s) over the course of the time of compression .

Details and assumptions

Boltzmann constant k = 1.38 × 1 0 23 J / K k = 1.38 \times 10^{-23} J/K


The answer is 8.323E+12.
