Experimental observations on the behavior of gases can be explained by a simple theoretical model known as the kinetic molecular theory, which is used to explain the laws of gases determined experimentally.

This theory is based on a series of postulates. <em>One of the postulates that could explain why in a sample of oxygen at constant temperature the kinetic energy of all the balls remains constant is: </em>

  • <u>Collisions between gas particles or collisions with the vessel walls are perfectly elastic. None of the energy of a gas particle is lost when it collides with another particle or with the walls of the vessel. </u>

Explanation: If the oxygen particles lose energy when colliding with each other or with the walls of the container then their kinetic energy will decrease with time. This is analogous to a bouncing ball. When dropping a ball vertically, it will be observed that with each rebound it will reach a lower height, which is due to the loss of kinetic energy by friction with the ground or with the air that surrounds it.

Answer:

yeah

Explanation:

well, probably. they kicked me out of math class because I put a live chicken in the classroom and it pooped everywhere, so I had to clean it up and bring it back where I found it (which is the side of the road.)

weqwewe [10]

corrected question: A chemist adds 135mL of a 0.21M zinc nitrate solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in grams of zinc nitrate the chemist has added to the flask. Round your answer to significant digits.

Answer:

5.37g

Explanation:

0.21M means ; 0.21mol/dm³

1dm³=1L , so we can say 0.21mol/L

if 0.21mol of Zinc nitrate is contained in 1L of water

x   will be contained in 135mL of water

x= 0.21*135*10³/1

=0.02835moles

number of moles=  mass/ molar mass

mass= number of moles *molar mas

molar mass of Zn(NO₃)₂=189.36 g/mol

mass= 0.02835 *189.36

mass=5.37g
