What type of water molecules have the greater tendency to condense to the liquid state from the gaseous state

1 answer:

4 0

'The slower moving' type of water molecules have the greater tendency to condense to the liquid state from the gaseous state.

If the molecules speed up it means that energy has been added to the system. Eventually, therefore, the water would evaporate into steam (or water vapour) provided the energy was continued to be added to the system.

Vice versa if the molecules are slowed down then the water molecules in gas would condense and change their state from gas to liquid.

Condensation is the process where water vapour becomes liquid. It is the reverse of evaporation, where liquid water becomes a vapour.

Condensation happens one of two ways: Either the air is cooled to its dew point or it becomes so saturated with water vapour that it cannot hold any more water.

Which metal absorbs the greatest amount of heat energy

Fed [463]

Answer:

This question is incomplete but the completed question is in the attachment below. And the correct is b

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity can be defined as the amount of heat required to raise to raise 1 kg of a substance by 1 kelvin. Thus, this means that when the specific heat capacity of a substance is high, it takes more energy to increase the temperature of that substance. This also means that when different substances are subjected to the same amount of heat, the substance with the higher specific heat capacity will absorb less heat; for example at a beach, water has a very high specific heat capacity, thus when the sand in the beach is hot, the beach water is still relatively cold.

From the description above, <u>it can be seen that the metal with the least specific capacity will absorb the greatest amount of heat, thus the metal is lead</u> with the specific heat capacity of 0.129 J/(g. °C).

Identify the limiting reactant when 1.22 g of O2 reacts with 1.05 g H2 to produce water.

kupik [55]

The reaction between oxygen, O2, and hydrogen, H2, to produce water can be expressed as,

2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O

The masses of each of the reactants are calculated below.

2H2 = 4(1.01 g) = 4.04 g
O2 = 2(16 g) = 32 g

Given 1.22 grams of oxygen, we determine the mass of hydrogen needed.
(1.22 g O2)(4.04 g H2 / 32 g O2) = 0.154 g of O2

Since there are 1.05 grams of O2 then, the limiting reactant is 1.22 grams of oxygen.

<em>Answer: 1.22 g of oxygen</em>
