Physics
1 answer:
german1 year ago
3 0

Answer:

Temperature is the kinetic energy of the particles of a substance.

Explanation:

The more kinetic energy a particle has the higher it's temperature. In the case of the atmosphere, which is what we are primarily concerned with in Meteorology, we measure this using a mercury thermometer (in certain situations we use an alcohol thermometer and of course modern times have given us things like dewcells and digital thermometers but we always go back to the mercury thermometer for accuracy).

Hydrogen sulfide, H2S, and hydrogen chloride, HCl, are both gases at temperatures above –50 °C.
vladimir1956 [14]

Explanation:

A gas at higher temperature is able to gain more heat from the environment/surroundings and has more kinetic energy to diffuse at a faster rate.

Hence a temperature at -20°C is more ideal.

Molar mass of H2S = 34.07g/mol

Molar mass of HCl = 36.45g/mol

Since H2S has a smaller molar mass, the same number of moles of H2S gas will diffuse faster as compared to the same number of moles of HCl gas.

Hence the answer is Hydrogen sulfide at -20°C. (D)
