what are the similarities and differences between the gas properties and kinetic molecular theory postulates?

1 answer:

3 0

The Kinetic Molecular Theory Postulates state that gases are made up of a larger number of particles, which, behave like hard, spherical objects that move in constant and random motion. Moreover, the particles move straight until they collide with other particles or walls in the containers, the particles are also smaller than the distance between them making the volume of gasses mostly empty space. There are also no attractive forces between the particles or between the particles or between the particles and the walls of the container. Lastly, the average kinetic energy of gas particles depends on the temperature of the gas alone.

In the other hand, the properties of gasses are that a gas has no define volume or shape, gasses also have low densities and all behave the same even in changes with temperature and pressure by expanding or contracting depending on the change.

Suppose the boy skipped his lunch for a day how will the hormones from his pancreasls help his body to cope wwhen his blood suga

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The hormone glucagon secreted by the pancreatic cells cause the release of glucose from the body's storage.

Explanation:

The pancreas is an organ found inside the abdomen. This organ produces hormones such as:

Insulin
Glucagon
Somatostatin
Vasoactive intestinal peptide

Insulin and glucagon are considered primary hormones secreted by the pancreas.

Upon skipping a meal, leading to a drop in blood sugar levels, glucagon is secreted by the pancreas. This hormone then acts on the liver to stimulate the conversion of stored up glycogen present in the liver into glucose. This produced glucose is then released into the blood stream, availing the boy glucose for energy.

Given 7.65 mol AgNO3, determine the number of formula units.

Komok [63]

Answer:

The number of formula units of silver nitrate is $4.61\times 10^{24}$ .

Explanation:

Moles of silver nitrate = n = 7.65 mol

1 mole = $N_A=6.022\times 10^{23}$ atoms/ molecules/ ions

Let the number of formula units of silver nitrate be N.

$N=n\times N_A$

$N=7.65 mol\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=4.61\times 10^{24}$

The number of formula units of silver nitrate is $4.61\times 10^{24}$ .

Consider the following balanced equation:

Serga [27]

Zn⁰ + 2H⁺ ------> Zn²⁺ + H2⁰

H⁺ ion has oxidation number +1.
Zn²⁺ ion has oxidation number +2.
Atom of Zn has electric charge 0, and each hydrogen atom in the molecule H2 have oxidation number 0. So, Zn and each hydrogen atom in H2 have oxidation numbers equals "0".

Answer is
D. Zn and each hydrogen atom in H2
