You have a gas stored in a rigid container (fixed volume). Explain the relationship between a decrease in temperature, collision

s, and kinetic energy within the container.
Chemistry
1 answer:

Answer:

A decrease in temperature would decrease kinetic energy, therefore decreasing collisions possible.

Explanation:

A gas at a fixed volume is going to have collisions automatically. If you decrease the temperature (same thing as decreasing kinetic energy) you are cooling down the molecules in the container which gives them less energy and "relaxes" them. This decrease in energy causes them to move around much slower and causing less collisions, at a much slower rate. In a perfect world, these collisions do not slow down the molecule but we know that they do, just a very very small unmeasurable amount.

Assuming an electron is a hydrogen atom can undergo any of the transitions below, thus changing its energy. Which transition is
inn [45]

Answer:

n = 3 to n = 5

Explanation:

According to the Bohr's model of the atom, electrons in an atom absorb energy to move from a lower to higher energy level.

We must note that as we progress away from the nucleus, the energy levels of electrons become closer together. The energy difference between successive levels decreases and the wavelength of light associated with such transitions become longer.

Hence,the absorption of light of the longest wavelength corresponds to n = 3 to n = 5

On the basis of the Ksp values below, what is the order of the solubility from least soluble to most soluble for these compounds
Viktor [21]

Answer:

The order of solubility is AgBr <   Ag₂CO₃ < AgCl

Explanation:

The solubility constant give us the molar solubilty of ionic compounds. In general for a compound AB the ksp will be given by:

Ksp = (A) (B) where A and B are the molar solubilities = s²  (for compounds with 1:1  ratio).

It follows then  that the higher the value of Ksp the greater solubilty of the compound if we are comparing compounds with the same ionic ratios:

Comparing AgBr: Ksp = 5.4 x 10⁻¹³ with AgCl: Ksp = 1.8 x 10⁻¹⁰, AgCl will be more soluble.

Comparing Ag2CO3: Ksp = 8.0 x 10⁻¹²  with AgCl Ksp = AgCl: Ksp = 1.8 x 10⁻¹⁰ we have the complication of  the ratio of ions 2:1 in Ag2CO3,  so the answer is not obvious. But since we know that

Ag2CO3 ⇄ 2 Ag⁺ + CO₃²₋

Ksp Ag2CO3  = 2s x s = 2 s² =  8.0 x 10-12

s = 4 x 10⁻12 ∴ s= 2 x 10⁻⁶

And for AgCl

AgCl  ⇄ Ag⁺ + Cl⁻

Ksp = s² = 1.8 x 10⁻¹⁰  ∴ s = √ 1.8 x 10⁻¹⁰   = 1.3 x 10⁻⁵

Therefore, AgCl is more soluble than Ag₂CO₃

The order of solubility is AgBr <   Ag₂CO₃ < AgCl

Greater than ___________ mcg/dl is considered a high level of morning cortisol.
Natalija [7]

Greater than 23mcg/dl is considered a high level of morning cortisol.

Normally, cortisol levels rise during the early morning hours and are highest about 7AM. They drop very low in the evening and during the early phase of sleep. If you do not have this daily change (diurnal rhythm) in cortisol levels, you may have overactive adrenal glands. This condition is called Cushing's syndrome.

Fill in the blanks for the following statements: The rms speed of the molecules in a sample of H2 gas at 300 K will be _________
Anna007 [38]

Answer : The rms speed of the molecules in a sample of H_2 gas at 300 K will be four times larger than the rms speed of O_2 molecules at the same temperature, and the ratio \mu _{rms}(H_2)/\mu _{rms}(O_2) constant with increasing temperature.

Explanation :

Formula used for root mean square speed :

\mu _{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}

where,

\mu _{rms} = rms speed of the molecule

R = gas constant

T = temperature

M = molar mass of the gas

At constant temperature, the formula becomes,

\mu _{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{M}}

And the formula for two gases will be,

\frac{\mu _{H_2}}{\mu _{O_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{O_2}}{M_{H_2}}}

Molar mass of O_2 = 32 g/mole

Molar mass of H_2 = 2 g/mole

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

\frac{\mu _{H_2}}{\mu _{O_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{32g/mole}{M_{2g/mole}}}=4

Therefore, the rms speed of the molecules in a sample of H_2 gas at 300 K will be four times larger than the rms speed of O_2 molecules at the same temperature.

And the ratio \mu _{rms}(H_2)/\mu _{rms}(O_2) constant with increasing temperature because rms speed depends only on the molar mass of the gases at same temperature.
