Answer:

The correct option is methane :CH_4.

Explanation:

Average speed of the gas molecules id given by expression:

v_{avg}=\sqrt{\frac{8kT}{\pi m}}

k = Boltzmann cosnatnt

T = Temperature of the gas molecules = 355 K

m = molecular mass of the molecule

v_{avg}\propto \sqrt{\frac{1}{m}}

Molar mass of methane = 18 g/mol

Molar mass of neon = 20.18 g/mol

Molar mass of ethene = 28 g/mol

Molar mass of chlorine gas = 70 g/mol

Lower the value of molar mass of gas molecule higher will be the average speed.So, from the given options methane gas greatest average seed because it has lowest molecular mass

\boxed{{\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_4}} has the greatest average speed at 355 K.

Further Explanation:

Gas is one of the states of matter. In gases, the atoms and molecules have space between them and can easily move over each other hence gases are compressible. Gases neither have fixed shape nor volume. It occupies the shape and volume of the container. The examples of matter that are gases are nitrogen and carbon dioxide.

The kinetic theory is based on the following postulates:

1. Gas molecules have a large collection of individual particles with empty space between them and the volume of each particle is very small as compared to the volume of the whole gas.

2. The gas particles are in straight-line motion or random motion until they are not collided with the wall of the container or with each other.

3. The collision between the gas particles and the wall of the containers are an elastic collision that means molecules exchange energy but they don’t lose any energy during the collision. So the total kinetic energy is constant.

The formula to calculate the average speed of the gas is as follows:

{{\text{v}}_{{\text{avg}}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{\text{8kT}}}}{\pi m}                            …… (1)

Here,

{{\text{v}}_{{\text{avg}}}} is the average speed of gas.

k is the Boltzmann constant.

T is the absolute temperature.

m is the molar mass of gas.

The average speed of all gases is calculated at 355 K. So all the quantities on the right-hand side of equation (1) becomes constant, except for m. So equation (1) becomes,

{{\text{v}}_{{\text{avg}}}}\propto\sqrt{\frac{1}{{\text{m}}}}                              …… (2)

Equation (2) clearly indicates that the average speed of the gas is inversely proportional to the molar mass of the gas. Higher the molar mass of the gas, more will be its average speed and vice-versa.

The molar mass of {\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_4} is 18 g/mol.

The molar mass of Ne is 20.18 g/mol.

The molar mass of {{\text{C}}_2}{{\text{H}}_4} is 28 g/mol.

The molar mass of {\text{C}}{{\text{l}}_2} is 70 g/mol.

The molar mass of {\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_4} is the least among all the given gases. So according to equation (2), its average speed is the greatest.

A typical aspirin tablet contains 500. mg of c9h8o4. how many moles of c9h8o4 molecules and how many molecules of acetylsalicyli
joja [24]
From the periodic table:
molar mass of carbon = 12 gm
molar mass of hydrogen = 1 gm
molar mass of oxygen = 16 gm

molar mass of <span>acetylsalicylic acid = 9(12) + 8(1) + 4(16) = 180 gm

Number of moles = mass / molar mass = 0.5 / 180 = 2.778 x 10^-3 moles

To get the number of molecules, we multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's number as follows:
number of molecules = </span>2.778x10^-3x6.02x10^23 =1.672 x 10^21 molecules

Write the condensed formula from left to right, starting with (CH3)x where x is a number.
pochemuha

Complete question:

Write the condensed formula from left to right, starting with (CH3)x where x is a number.

See attached image for the structure formula of the compound

Answer:

(CH₃)₂CHC(CH₃)₃ named as 2,2,3-Trimethylbutane

Explanation:

If we number the longest chain of the carbon starting from the left, we will observe that there are four carbons in the straight chain as shown in the image.

Starting from first carbon from the left of the carbon chain, at carbon number number 2, there two alkyl group, that is two methyl (CH3 is two). Also at carbon number 3, there are three alkyl group, that is three methyl (CH3 is three).

The condensed formula will be written as;

(CH₃)₂CHC(CH₃)₃

This compound is named as 2,2,3-Trimethylbutane, an isomer of Heptane
