Answer: option B. The kinetic energy of gas molecules is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature of the gas.


Explanation:


The kinetic theory of gases explains the behavior and properties of gases from a molecular perspective.


Specifically and explicity, the kinetic theory of gases states that gases are constituted by particles (molecules) and that the average kinetic energy of the particles is proportional to the absolute temperature (Kelvin scale) of the gas. Furthermore, the temperature of all the (ideal) gases is the same at a given temperature.


Hence, you know that the higher the temperature of the gas, the higher the kinetic energy and the average speed of the molecules.


Other postulates of the kinetic theory of gases are that: i) the volume of the particles is neglectible; ii) the particles do not exhibit intermolecular attraction or repulsion; iii) the particles are in continuous random motion in straight paths, until they collide with other particles or the walls of the vessel, and iv) the collisions are elastic (the energy is conserved).

vaieri [72.5K]

Boyle’s Law illustrates the inverse relationship of volume and pressure. It follows the formula  p1V1 = P2V2 , where P1V1 denotes initial pressure and volume  and P2V2 denotes values of pressure and  volume.

Now, let us work out for what is asked above.
a. if the pressure is doubled
50.0 p = V x 2p 
V = 50.0 p / 2p

= 50.0 /2

= 25.0 m^3 
b. if the pressure is cut in half
50.0 p = V x p/2 
100 p = V x p 
V = 100 m^3 
c. if the pressure is tripled
50.0 p = V x 3p 
V = 50.0 p / 3p

= 50.0 /3

=16.7 m^3

The key enzyme in the regulation of the citric acid cycle is:.
bixtya [17]

The key enzyme in the regulation of the citric acid cycle is citrate synthase. It functions in the mitochondria.

<h3>Citrate synthase and cellular respiration </h3>

Cellular respiration is a series of reactions that produce ATP by using the energy stores in the chemical bonds of foods.

Cellular respiration is divided into glycolysis, the citric-acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.

Citrate synthase is an enzyme found in the mitochondrial matrix, which is involved in the citric acid cycle.
