Temperature is _____ to the average kinetic energy of a gas.

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As on increasing the temperature, the molecules gain more kinetic energy due to which they tend to collide and move rapidly from one place to another.

Thus, we can conclude that when temperature is increased, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases.

This means that temperature is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of a gas.

If the dimensions of a cube-shaped cell with a volume of 1 pm were to

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

Assuming the units are all supposed to be the same

A cube shaped cell with a 1 um³ volume would have a dimensions of 1 x 1 x 1 (because volume = length x width x height and 1 x 1 x 1 =1)

If we double the dimensions, we have a cube with the dimensions 2 x 2 x 2.

The surface area of each face of the cube is the length x width, so 2 x 2. This means the surface area of each face of the cube is 4 um².

There are 6 faces of a cube, so the total surface area is 6 x 4 um² = 24 um².

Which of the following is NOT a postulate of the Kinetic Molecular Theory?

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

"3. Energy can either be destroyed or created. Its goes from one form to another."

Explanation:

The third answer choice, "3. Energy can either be destroyed or created. Its goes from one form to another. " is related to the Law of Conservation of Energy from thermodynamics. Is it not a postulate of the Kinetic Molecular Theory.

"1. Average Kinetic Energy of the system is a measure of the temperature of the system."

Postulate of Kinetic Molecular Theory $\checkmark$

The average kinetic energy of the system is measured by its temperature and nothing else

"2. Energy is conserved in the collisions between gas molecules.."

Postulate of Kinetic Molecular Theory $\checkmark$

All collisions between gas molecules are perfectly elastic, meaning no energy is lost

"3. Energy can either be destroyed or created. Its goes from one form to another.

$\times$ NOT a Postulate of Kinetic Molecular Theory

Related to Conservation of Energy from thermodynamics

"4. Gases travel in straight line until they collide with other gas molecules"

Postulate of Kinetic Molecular Theory $\checkmark$

All gas molecules will travel in a straight line until they collide with other gas molecules or some object (e.g. a container)
