in the deep space between galaxies, the density of atoms is as low as 106 atoms/m3, and the temperature is a frigid 3.1 k. what is the pressure?

Answer :

The temperature is a chilly 3.1 k, and there are only 106 atoms per cubic meter of air in the deep vacuum between galaxies. 3.86*10⁻¹⁷ pa is the pressure.

Density of atoms,[tex]\rho= 10^6 atoms/m^3[/tex]

Temperature, T= 2.8K

using Ideal Gas Equation,

                         PV= nRT

   where n= number of moles,

              R= Universal Gas Constant

              P= Pressure

  Number of atoms in 1 mole, [tex]N_A= 6.022 \times 10^{23}[/tex]

  Then given number of atoms will have following number of moles, [tex]n= \frac{10^6}{N_A}[/tex]

  where NA= Avogadro's number which is constant

  Or we can write,

                      [tex]\frac{n}{V}= \frac{\rho}{N_A}[/tex]

  Thus Pressure will be

                   [tex]P= \frac{nRT}{V}= \frac{\rho RT}{N_A}[/tex]

  using given and known values in above,

                      [tex]P= \frac{10^6 \times 8.314 \times 2.8}{6.022 \times 10^{23}}= 3.86 \times10^{-17} Pa[/tex]
