Answer: increases
Explanation:
Matter exists in three different states, they are solids, liquids and gases. And each of them contains molecules with a certain amount of kinetic energy.
Hence, the addition of heat changes a substance from a liquid to a gas through a process called vaporization, whereby liquid molecules on changing to gases acquire a higher kinetic energy, and move more freely within the containing vessel.
Thus, the higher kinetic energy explains the increase in the average distance between molecules.
Answer:
Explanation:
First, let's review the ideal gas law, PV = nRT. In this equation, 'P' is the pressure in atmospheres, 'V' is the volume in liters, 'n' is the number of particles in moles, 'T' is the temperature in Kelvin and 'R' is the ideal gas constant (0.0821 liter atmospheres per moles Kelvin)
Given:
<span> 2.1 moles of chlorine gas (Cl2) at standard temperature and pressure (STP)
Required:
volume of CL2
Solution:
Use the ideal gas law
PV = nRT
V = nRT/P
V = (2.1 moles Cl2) (0.08203 L - atm / mol - K) (273K) / (1 atm)
V = 47 L</span>
