-newer way
-centrifuge spins and separates based on mass/density
-spin in high rpm and heavier isotopes separate from lighter isotopes
|
|
laser enrichment
|
NC is capitol of the world for this
-lasers excite and ionize one isotope preferential to the other. if you can do this, you can extract something ionized (based one charge) to an electric plate. this separates the isotopes.

tenets of kinetic molecular theory
|
1. gases consist of large number of atoms/molecules in continuous, random motion
2. gas molecules are vey small relative to the distances between them (volumes are negligible )
3. negligible attractive/repulsive forces between atoms
4. only elastic collisions occur b/w molecules. Avera…

when does ideal gas law fail?

at high pressures - it pushed molecules together and then interactions and volumes are no longer negligible
|

-used in gas studies at non ideal conditions
- look in notes page 68 for ths.
- the b corrects for molecular volumes at high pressures
- the a corrects for molecular attractions
