Principle
By means of the model apparatus for kinetic theory of gases the motion of gas molecules is simulated and the velocities determined by registration of the throw distance of the glass balls. This velocity distribution is compared to the theoretical Maxwell- Boltzmann equation.
Benefits
- For both demonstration and student experiments
- Unique experiment to quantitatively study kinetic gas theory
- Visualization of the Maxwell Boltzmann distribution
Tasks
- Measure the velocity distribution of the "model gas".
- Compare the result to theoretical behaviour as described by the Maxwell- Boltzmann distribution.
- Discuss the results.
Learning objectives
- Kinetic theory of gases
- Temperature
- Gas- molecules
- Model kinetic energy
- Average velocity
- Velocity distribution
