Why was the line of best fit method used to determine the experimental value of absolute zero?

Chemistry
1 answer:
BartSMP [9]3 years ago

Answer:

<u><em></em></u>

  • <u><em>Because the x-intercet of the graph represents volume zero, which indicates the minimum possible temperature or absolute zero.</em></u>

Explanation:

Charle's Law for ideal gases states that, at constant pressure, the <em>temperature</em> and the <em>volume</em> of a sample of gas are protortional.

                       \dfrac{V}{T}=k\\\\V=kT

That means that the graph of the relationship between Temperature, in Kelivn, and Volume is a line, which passes through the origin.

When you work with Temperature in Celsius, and the temperature is placed on the x-axis, the line is shifted to the left  273.15ºC.

Meaning that the Volume at 273.15ºC is zero.

You cannot reach such low temperatures in an experiment, and also, volume zero is not real.

Nevertheless, you can draw the line of best fit and extend it until the x-axis (corresponding to a theoretical volume equal to zero), and read the corresponding temperature.

Subject to the experimental errors, and the fact that the real gases are not ideal, the temperature that you read on the x-axis is the minimum possible temperature (<em>absolute zero</em>) as the minimum possible volume is zero.

The number of bonds in nitrogen molecule is:
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

3 is the answer.

Explanation:

Nitrogen atoms will form three covalent bonds (also called triple covalent) between two atoms of nitrogen because each nitrogen atom needs three electrons to fill its outermost shell.

A student runs an experiment in the lab and then uses the data to prepare an Arrhenius plot of the natural log of the rate const
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

21.86582KJ

Explanation:

The graphical form of the Arrhenius equation is shown on the image attached. Remember that in the Arrhenius equation, we plot the rate constant against the inverse of temperature. The slope of this graph is the activation energy and its y intercept is the frequency factor.

Applying the equation if a straight line, y=mx +c, and comparing the given equation with the graphical form of the Arrhenius equation shown in the image attached, we obtain the activation energy of the reaction as shown.

Photosynthesis can be represented by6CO2(g)+6H2O(l)⇌C6H12O6(s)+6O2(g)Which of the following will be false when the photosynthesi
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

The concentration of O2 will begin decreasing and The concentrations of CO2 and O2 will be equal.

Explanation:

Equilibrium occurs when the velocity of the formation of the products it's equal to the velocity of the formation of the reactants, thus the concentrations of the compounds remain constant.

Analyzing the information and the reaction given, we can notice that in equilibrium the rate (velocity) of formation of O2 (product) is equal to the rate of formation of CO2 (reactant).

As the CO2 and H2O are placed in the reaction, the Le Chateliêr's principle states that the equilibrium must shift to reestablish the equilibrium, thus, they must be consumed, and the concentration of O2 must increase.

As state above, in equilibrium, the concentrations didn't change, thus, the concentrations of CO2 and O2 will not change.

The concentrations of CO2 and O2 depends on the rate of the reaction and the initial quantities presented, so it's not possible to affirm they'll be equal.
