The options in the question are as follows

a. The motion of particles becomes random.

b. The motion of the particles is unchanged.

c. The particles move with more force.

d. The particles decrease in speed.

Answer:

The particles decrease in speed.

Explanation:

In a gas at room temperature, the particles of the gas move at a very high speed and in a random manner. A gas has no definite volume and it is also assumed that there is minimal interaction between gas particles. Recall that temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a system. As the temperature is decreased and heat is withdrawn as the CO2 approaches freezing temperature, the speed and kinetic energy of the particles decreases and significant interaction between particles is observed. Hence the CO2 particles slow down.

CO2 is carbon dioxide which is most famous for being in gas form so i would figure if it was exposed to freezing temperatures it would turn into a liquid then maybe a solid

An element with the general electron configuration for its outermost electrons of ns2np1 would be in which element group?

Firdavs [7]

Electron configuration is the electron distribution in the molecular and atomic orbital. An element with configuration ns²np¹ will be in the 3A group. Thus, option B is correct.

<h3>What is electronic configuration?</h3>

The electronic configuration has been the arrangement and distribution of the sub-atomic particle, an electron in the atomic shells.

The electronic configuration given is, ns²np¹. Here, there are three valence electrons in the outermost orbit. As it has been known that the number of the valence electron gives the number of the group.

Therefore, option B. 3A group or 13 group is the correct option.

What happens to the sugar from a sugar cube after it has dissolved in a cup of tea? (Molecule related)

katovenus [111]

Answer: Sugar is very soluble in water. When you add the solid to the tea the key process is that the solid sugar dissolves in the warm liquid: the solid crystals are broken up into molecules which are every dispersed throughout the existing liquid.

What is the empirical formula for a compound if a sample contains 3.72 g of P and 21.28 g of Cl?

Ainat [17]

Given 3.72 g of P and 21.28g of Cl, converting these to moles: ( 3.72 g P)(mol P/30.97 g P) = 0.12 mol P (21.28 g Cl)(mol Cl/35.45 g Cl) = 0.60 mol Cl P:Cl = 0.12/0.60, therefore P: Cl =1/5 Therefore, PCl5 hope it helps

Calculate the pH and pOH of 500.0 mL of a phosphate solution that is 0.285 M HPO42– and 0.285 M PO43–. (Ka for HPO42- = 4.2x10-1

jekas [21]

Answer: when concentrations of acid and base are same, pH = pKa

PH = 12.38 pOH = 1.62

Explanation: pKa= -log(Ka)= 12.38. PH + pOH = 14.00
