In a rigid container, when the speed of the gas molecules decreases, the pressure of the gas also decreases. true or false

Chemistry

KIM [24]3 years ago
8 0
In order to understand this question and to answer it correctly, there are some definitions/terms that need to be acknowledged.

 Firstly, TEMPERATURE is defined as the average KINETIC ENERGY of a sample. So, in the question when the reference is made to the speed of the molecules, it can be translated to temperature. Thus, since the speed of the molecules decreases, then it can be said that the Temperature of the system decreases.

Secondly, according to Gay-Lussac Law, Pressure is directly proportional to Temperature when the volume is constant. As such, an increase in Pressure sees an increase in Temperature.

Based on what is known above, the statement "<span>In a rigid container, when the speed of the gas molecules decreases, the pressure of the gas also decreases" is a true one.

Thus the answer is TRUE.</span>

Explain why boiling point and melting point can be used as a way to check purity.
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Pure solid and liquid compounds possess sharp melting and boiling points.

Explanation:

Therefore, melting and boiling points of a compound can be used as a criteria of purity. ... Sometimes during cooling minute quantity of the substance (solid which is being purified) is added to the solution to facilitate the initial crystallisation.

What is the difference between a molecular formula and a molecular modle?
ankoles [38]
The molecular formula tell us what elements the atoms are, and how many moles and atoms are attributed toward each element.
The molecular model tells us how the atoms/elements are bonded together.

Molecular formula : CH4

                                  H
                                   l
Molecular model:   H -- C -- H

Organic compounds are composed of __________ and at least one hydrogen atom.
Anettt [7]
I think the correct word to fill in the blank would be carbon. Organic compounds are composed of carbon and at least one hydrogen atom. It is basically any compound that would contain carbon and covalently bonded to other elements or atoms usually these are hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen. All living things are based on these compounds. These are the building blocks of organic chemistry. These compounds can be seen anywhere in Earth. May it be animals, plants, the soil, sugar, microorganisms and even in humans. Examples of these compounds are methanol, DNA, glucose, hexane, acetic acid, butane and the like.

In the equation for the formation of magnesium sulfide shown, which atom gains electrons?
Zarrin [17]

S + 2e⁻ → S²⁻ (sulfur will gain electrons)

Mg - 2e⁻ → Mg²⁺ (magnesium will lose electrons)

Magnesium is a metal which tends to give electrons which are received by the sulfur, which is a nonmetal and tends to gain electrons.
