Answer:
Their average kinetic energy increases
Explanation:
The average kinetic energy of the rice molecules increases as the pot is left on the cooking stove.
Heat is transferred to the pot by conduction from the heat source. The heat is then transferred to the rice in the cooking pot by convection.
- As the water in the pot heats up.
- The rice gains thermal energy.
- This causes the molecules of the rice particles to start vibrating.
- As the molecules vibrate about their fixed position, their thermal energy continues to increase.
- Therefore, the amount of heat absorbed by the rice increases with time and this actually cooks the food.
HBr is the formula for hydrobromic acid
<span>The rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molecular weight of the species. Now there will be differences among isotopomers but neglecting these and taking the avg mol wt of N2 = 28 and Xe = 132;
Rate(N2)/Rate(Xe) = sqrt (132/28) = 2.17</span>
