Which temperature represents the highest average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter ?

1 answer:

6 0

Average kinetic energy is proportional to absolute temperature. This means that the higher the temperature the higher the kinetic energy.

This equation reflects that: KE avg = [3/2]kT, where k is the Boltzman constant.

So, you just have to checkg which of the given temperatures is the highest one..

Of course to compare you need to have them all in the same unit system.

Use absolute temperatures in Kelvin.

=> 27°C + 273.15 = 300.15 K.

Then, the highest temperature is 27°C and that represents the highest kinetic energy.

Answer is the option c. 27°C

What is the number of electron and neutron protons in atom 35?

Fittoniya [83]

The mass number = protons + neutrons. Bromine has a mass number of 80 and 35 protons so 80-35 = 45 neutrons. b) How many electrons does the neutral atom of bromine have? The neutral atom of bromine has 35 electrons because the number of electrons equals the number of protons.

Describe how radioactive isotopes are used to treaat cancer

stich3 [128]

Answer:

Radioisotope therapy is a procedure in which a liquid form of radiation is administered internally through infusion or injection. RIT's ultimate purpose is to treat cancerous cells with minimal damage to the normal surrounding tissue. These therapies are not normally the first approach used to fight a patient's cancer.

A mouse is placed in a sealed chamber with air at 769.0 torr. This chamber is equipped with enough solid KOH to absorb any CO2 a

svlad2 [7]

Answer: The amount of oxygen gas consumed by mouse is 0.202 grams.

Explanation:

We are given:

Initial pressure of air = 769.0 torr

Final pressure of air = 717.1 torr

Pressure of oxygen = Pressure decreased = Initial pressure - Final pressure = (769.0 - 717.1) torr = 51.9 torr

To calculate the amount of oxygen gas consumed, we use the equation given by ideal gas which follows:

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 51.9 torr

V = Volume of the gas = 2.20 L

T = Temperature of the gas = 292 K

R = Gas constant = $62.364\text{ L. Torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

n = number of moles of oxygen gas = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$51.9torr\times 2.20L=n\times 62.364\text{ L. Torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 292K\\\\n=\frac{51.9\times 2.20}{62.364\times 292}=0.0063mol$

To calculate the mass from given number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Moles of oxygen gas = 0.0063 moles

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.0063mol=\frac{\text{Mass of oxygen gas}}{32g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of oxygen gas}=(0.0063mol\times 32g/mol)=0.202g$

Hence, the amount of oxygen gas consumed by mouse is 0.202 grams.

Why is U-235 the most common nuclear fuel instead of the more abundant U-238? State a clear topic sentence and support it with e

GREYUIT [131]

<h3>Answer and explanation;</h3>

The isotope U-235 is an important common nuclear fuel because under certain conditions it can readily be split, yielding a lot of energy. It is therefore said to be 'fissile' and use the expression 'nuclear fission'.
Uranium 238 on the other hand is not fissionable by thermal neutrons, but it can undergo fission from fast or high energy neutrons. Hence it is not fissile, but it is fissionable.
In a nuclear power station fissioning of uranium atoms replaces the burning of coal or gas. Heat created by splitting the U-235 atoms is then used to make steam which spins a turbine to drive a generator, producing electricity.
