Which is a postulate of the kinetic-molecular theory?

2 answers:

8 0

An increase in the number of gas particles in the container increases the frequency of collisions with the walls and therefore the pressure of the gas. The last postulate of the kinetic molecular theory states that the average kinetic energy of a gas particle depends only on the temperature of the gas.

Answer:

Gas particles have a small volume relative to the spaces between them.

Explanation: There is a lot of empty space between the gas molecules which accounts in the final volume.

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Pressure will double

Explanation:

Gay - Lussac Law => P ∝ T with volume and mass held constant.

=> P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂ => P₂ = P₁T₂/T₁

T₂ = 2T₁

P₂ = P₁(2T₁)/T₁ = 2P₁

Double absolute temperature => double pressure

sergeinik [125]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Aqueous sulfuric acid reacts with solid sodium hydroxide to produce aqueous sodium sulfate and liquid water. If 12.5 g of water is produced from the reaction of 72.6 g of sulfuric acid and 77.0 g of sodium hydroxide, calculate the percent yield of water. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits in it.

Answer: The percent yield of water in the reaction is 46.85 %.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For NaOH:

Given mass of NaOH = 77.0 g

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of NaOH}=\frac{77.0g}{40g/mol}=1.925mol$

For sulfuric acid:

Given mass of sulfuric acid = 72.6 g

Molar mass of sulfuric acid = 98 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of sulfuric acid}=\frac{72.6g}{98g/mol}=0.741mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of NaOH and sulfuric acid follows:

$H_2SO_4+2NaOH\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+2H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of sulfuric acid reacts with 2 moles of NaOH

So, 0.741 moles of sulfuric acid will react with = $\frac{2}{1}\times 0.741=1.482mol$ of NaOH

As, given amount of NaOH is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, sulfuric acid is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of sulfuric acid produces 2 moles of water

So, 0.741 moles of sulfuric acid will produce = $\frac{2}{1}\times 0.741=1.482moles$ of water

Now, calculating the mass of water from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Moles of water = 1.482 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.482mol=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{18g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=(1.482mol\times 18g/mol)=26.68g$

To calculate the percentage yield of water, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of water = 12.5 g

Theoretical yield of water = 26.68 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of water}=\frac{12.5g}{26.68g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of water}=46.85\%$

Hence, the percent yield of water in the reaction is 46.85 %.

An individual suffering from a high cholesterol level in her blood. if the total blood volume of the individual is 5.2 l, how ma

Usimov [2.4K]

If the concentration of cholesterol is 238mg/100ml:

238 mg ==> 100ml

2380 mg (or 2.38g) ==> 1000ml (1L)

So the concentration will be 2.38 g/L of cholesterol.

if the volume is 5.2 L, the total grams of cholesterol would be :

m = C . V = 2.38g/L * 5.2 L = 12.376 grams of cholesterol.
