Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is defined as the energy obtained by an object or substance due to their motion.

Also, kinetic energy is directly related to temperature as follows.

                        K. E = \frac{3}{2}kT

Hence, kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature.

So, more is the temperature provided to a substance more will be the kinetic energy of its molecules. Therefore, more will be their motion and this leads to more number of collisions between the molecules.

As in solids, molecules are held by strong intermoleculear forces so, they do not move from their initial position and hence, they have definite shape and volume.

In liquids, molecules are held by less strong intermolecular forces of attraction. So, they have definite volume but no definite shape.

In gases, molecules are held by weak intermolecular forces. So, these molecules are away from each other due to high kinetic energy as they have more number of collisions.

Thus, we can conclude that in the gaseous state molecules have the highest kinetic energy.

Given the following table, which statement is true about atoms A and B?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

The statement true is A. A and B are isotopes of the same element.

Explanation:

Isotopes correspond to atoms of the same element with different mass numbers (A), that is to say they differ in the amount of neutrons in the nucleus. In the case of compound A it has 10 neutrons, and B has 11.

How could a change to the size of the algae population cause an increase in the size of the moon jelly population? (Be sure to d
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

The deaths of one species leaves room for another to grow. for example is there are not enough wolves to kill the deer the deer population will increase and that would start to cause problems. If there is not enough algae to combat the moon jelly the amount of moon jelly will increase because there is nothing to stop it.

A SCUBA diver with a 4-liter lung capacity is at a depth of 135 feet (4 atm.) She ascends to the surface where the
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

16L

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

V1 (initial volume) = 4L

P1 (initial pressure) = 4atm

P2 (final pressure) = 1atm

V2 (final volume) =?

Using Boyle's law equation P1V1 = P2V2, the new volume can be obtain as follow:

P1V1 = P2V2

4 x 4 = 1 x V2

16 = V2

V2 = 16L

Therefore, her new lungs volume is 16L

N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3
lana66690 [7]

 The number of  moles  of H₂ that are needed  to react with 2.0  moles of N₂  is    6.0 moles


 <u><em>calculation</em></u>

N₂  +3H₂→   2NH₃

The moles of  H₂  is  calculated  using the mole ratio

That is from equation above  N₂:H₂  is 1 :3

therefore the moles of  H₂ = 2.0  moles  x (3/1) = 6.0 moles
