In doing the numerical calculations for the exercises and problems for this chapter, the
values of the ideal-gas constant have been used with the precision given on page 501 of
the text,
K.molatmL0.08206KmolJ3145.8 R
Use of values of these constants with either greater or less precision may introduce
differences in the third figures of some answers.

18.4: a) Decreasing the pressure by a factor of one-third decreases the Kelvin
temperature by a factor of one-third, so the new Celsius temperatures is 1/3(293.15 K) –
273.15=

rounded to the nearest degree. b) The net effect of the two changes is
to keep the pressure the same while decreasing the Kelvin temperature by a factor of one-
third, resulting in a decrease in volume by a factor of one-third, to 1.00 L.

may be neglected; in this case, neglecting the expansion means not including expansion
in finding the highest safe temperature, and including the expansion would tend to relax

18.30: a) From Eq. (18.16), the average kinetic energy depends only on the
temperature, not on the mass of individual molecules, so the average kinetic energy is the
same for the molecules of each element. b) Equation (18.19) also shows that the rms
speed is proportional to the inverse square root of the mass, and so
