Which statements about a sample of gas containing molecules of different masses are true?

Physics
1 answer:
Alexxandr [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

More-massive gas molecules in the sample have lower rms speed than less-massive ones.

Explanation:

The rms speed is defined as the prediction that how fast the molecule travel at a given temperature.

Mathematically, rms speed can be written as,

v_{rms} =\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M} }

Here, T is the temperature, M is the mass of gas molecule.

Now from this it is clearly seen that rms speed is inversely related with mass of the gas molecule.

Therefore, gas molecule which posses more mass in the sample have smaller rms speed than less-massive ones.

A coin 15.0 mm in diameter is placed 15.0 cm from a spherical mirror. The coin's image is 5.0 mm in diameter and is erect. Is th
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

15 cm

Explanation:

h_{o} = Diameter of the coin = 15 mm

h_{i} = Diameter of the image of coin =  5 mm

d_{o} = distance of the coin from mirror = 15 cm

d_{i} = distance of the image of coin from mirror = ?

Using the equation

\frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}} = \frac{- h_{i}}{h_{o}}

\frac{d_{i}}{15} = \frac{- (5)}{15}

d_{i} = - 5 cm

R = radius of curvature

Using the mirror equation

\frac{1}{d_{o}} + \frac{1}{d_{i}} = \frac{2}{R}

\frac{1}{15} + \frac{1}{- 5} = \frac{2}{R}

R = - 15 cm

What happened to the balloon when it was placed on the bottle with the baking soda and vinegar and why.
user100 [1]

Answer:

The ballon would be inflated. The reason is that the sodium bicarbonate in baking soda reacts with acetic acid in vinegar to produce gas.

Explanation:

The main component of baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, {\rm Na_{2}CO_{3}}.

Vinegar is mostly a solution of acetic acid {\rm CH_{3}COOH} in water.

Acids such as acetic acid react with carbonate salts. One of the products of such reactions is carbon dioxide {\rm CO_{2}}, a gas.

In this question, when the acetic acid in vinegar reacts with sodium bicarbonate in the baking soda, the following reaction would occur:

\begin{aligned}& {\rm Na_{2}CO_{3}}\, (aq) + 2\, {\rm CH_{3}COOH}\, (aq) \\ &\to 2\, {\rm CH_{3}COONa}\, (aq) + {\rm CO_{2}}\, (g)\end{aligned}.

The {\rm CO_{2}} produced would then inflate the ballon placed on the opening of the bottle.
