Solution

Using Graham's law of diffusion,
r1r2=M2M11.331=32gmol1M1M1=18.09gmol1
The molar volume of the vapour, Vm=M1α
=18.9gmol10.36Kgm3
=18.09gmol10.36gdm3
=50.25dm3mol1
The compressibilty factor, Z=Vm,realVm,ideal=Vm,realRT/α
=101.325KPa×50.25dm3mol18.314JK1mol1×500K
=1.22
Since Z>1 the repulsive forces dominate among the gaseous molecules.
Average K.E=32KT=32×3.8×1023JK1×1000K
=2.07×1020J .
