A balloon is filled with helium gas. What will happen as the average kinetic energy of the helium particles increases?
2 answers:
Answer: The gas atoms will strike the sides of the balloon more often.
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion.
Average kinetic energy is defined as the average of the kinetic energies of all the particles present in a system. It is determined by the equation:
K= kinetic energy
R= gas constant
T= temperature
From above, it is visible that kinetic energy is directly related to the temperature of the system.
So if average kinetic energy of the system increases , the speed of the molecules will be more and hence the gas atoms will strike the sides of the balloon more often.

9 grams of hydrogen gas (H2) will SC Johnson need to react in order to make 1 bottle of Windex.
Explanation:
Balance equation for the formation of ammonia from H2 gas.
N2 + 3H2 ⇒ 2
Given
mass of ammonia in 1 bottle of windex = 51 gram
atomic mass of ammonia 17.01 gram/mole
number of moles =
number of moles =
= 3 moles of ammonia is formed.
in 1 bottle of windex there are 3 moles of ammonia 0r 51 grams of ammonia.
From the equation it can be found that:
3 moles of hydrogen reacted to form 2 moles of ammonia
so, x moles of hydrogen will react to form 3 moles of ammonia.
=
x = 4.5 moles of hydrogen will be required.
to convert moles into gram formula used:
mass = atomic mass x number of moles (atomic mass of H2 is 2grams/mole)
= 2 x 4.5
= 9 grams of hydrogen.
