Explain using the particle theory why objects generally expand when heated and contract when cooled?

When heated, particles vibrate faster, thus increasing the distance between one another. The distance between these particles results in changes of state. Therefore, increased molecular motion results in expansion of an object. This works vice versa for cooling. As the vibrations slow down, the particles become closer together. This results in contraction.

What is the Ka of a 0.0796 M solution of nitrous acid (HNO2) with a pH of 2.95?
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Coefficient = 1.58

Exponent = - 5

Explanation:

pH = 2.95

Molar concentration = 0.0796M

Ka = [H+]^2 / [HA]

Ka = [H+]^2 / 0.0796

Therefore ;

[H+] = 10^-2.95

[H+] = 0.0011220 = 1.122 × 10^-3

Ka = [H+] / molar concentration

Ka = [1.122 × 10^-3]^2 / 0.0796

Ka = (1.258884 × 10^-6) / 0.0796

Ka = 15.815 × 10^-6

Ka = 1.58 × 10^-5

Coefficient = 1.58

Exponent = - 5

8 Fe + Sg → 8 Fes<br><br> How many grams of FeS is produced from 0.3 mol Sg?
frozen [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Molar ratio for Sg : FeS = 1:8

If there are 0.3 moles for Sg

Therefore, 0.3 × 8 =2.4 moles of FeS

Mass = Moles/ Mr

Mr of FeS = 56+32=88

So mass = 2.4/88

Mass= 0.027g

If mercury (Hg) and oxygen (O2) were reacted to form mercury oxide how many molecules of each reactant and product would be need
dimulka [17.4K]
In order to get HgO you would need 2Hg+1O2=2HgO. Since oxygen is diatomic you need two when it stands alone causing you to need two mercuries to balance out the reactants and the product I hope this helps

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!
Oliga [24]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Increasing the the temperature would favour the endothermic reaction which is the forward direction however increasing the pressure would make the reaction try to counteract this change by favouring the reaction that would create more products so the equilibrium will shift left instead of right.

Hope this helps.
