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.

How many moles of potassium hydroxide are needed to completely react with 2.94 moles of aluminum sulfate
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:- Third choice is correct, 17.6 moles


Solution:- The given balanced equation is:


Al_2(SO_4)_3+6KOH\rightarrow 2Al(OH)_3+3K_2SO_4


We are asked to calculate the moles of potassium hydroxide needed to completely react with 2.94 moles of aluminium sulfate.


From the balanced equation, there is 1:6 mol ratio between aluminium sulfate and potassium hydroxide.


It is a simple mole to mole conversion problem. We solve it using dimensional set up as:


2.94molAl_2(SO_4)_3(\frac{6molKOH}{1molAl_2(SO_4)_3})


= 17.6 mol KOH


So, Third choice is correct, 17.6 moles of potassium hydroxide are required to react with 2.94 moles of aluminium sulfate.
