1. Atoms can transfer kinetic energy in a collision.

If an atom has a mass of 1 × 10–24 g and

travels with a velocity of 500 m s–1, what is the maximum kinetic energy that can be
transferred from the moving atom in a head-on elastic collision to the stationary atom of
mass 1 × 10–23 g?

2. What are the mole fractions and partial pressures of each gas in a 2.50-L container into
which 100.00 g of nitrogen and 100.00 g of carbon dioxide are added at 25 °C? What is the
total pressure?

3. Nitrogen gas is maintained at 152 kPa in a 2.00-dm3 vessel at 298.15 K. If its molar mass is
28.0134 g mol–1 calculate:
a. The amount of N2 present.
b. The number of molecules present.
c. The root-mean-square speed of the molecules.
d. The average translational kinetic energy of each molecule.
e. The total translational kinetic energy in the system.
