In which state of matter has least amount of kinetic energy

Chemistry

MariettaO [177]3 years ago

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

  • In a solid, molecules are held together by strong intermolecular forces of attraction. As a result, they are unable to move from their initial place but they can vibrate at their mean position.  

Hence, in solid substances the molecules have low kinetic energy.

  • Whereas in liquids, the molecules are held by less strong intermolecular forces of attraction as compared to solids. Due to which they are able to slide past each other. Hence, they have medium kinetic energy.
  • In gases, the molecules are held by weak Vander waal forces. Hence, they have high kinetic energy due to which they move rapidly from one place to another leading to more number of collisions.  

Hence, gases are able to expand more rapidly as compared to liquids.

  • In plasma state, there is hot ionized gas which contains positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons.

In plasma state, molecules move much more rapidly than molecules of a gas.

Thus, we can conclude that solid state of matter has least amount of kinetic energy.

When copper oxide is reacted with sulfuric acid, the acid is often gently heated. This is done in order to:
pav-90 [236]
Copper oxide(solid) + Sulphuric Acid (aqueous)-> Copper Sulphate (aqueous)+ Water(liquid)

In equation form:

CuO +H2SO4 -> CuSO4 + H2O

The colour change you will see is black to blue as Copper oxide is usually found as a black powder. Upon the reaction with sulphuric acid it will change to a cyan blue.

If you heat the made solution of copper sulphate, the water will evaporate and you will be left with white anhydrous copper sulphate crystals.

Imagine that Ana has a block made of pure gold. If she cuts this block into two equal pieces, pick the statement that best descr
dimaraw [331]

Answer : The correct statement is:

The density of each piece is the same as that of the original block.

Explanation :

Intensive property : It is defined as a property of substance which does not change as the amount of substance changes.

Examples: Temperature, refractive index, density, hardness, etc.

According to question, if Ana has a block made of pure gold and she cuts this block into two equal pieces then the density of each piece is the same as that of the original block because density is an intensive property that does not changes until and unless material is changed.

That means density remains same as that of the original piece.

Hence, the correct statement is the density of each piece is the same as that of the original block.
