Why do molecules change speed

Chemistry

1 answer:

Anna [14]4 years ago

Answer:

Molecules change speed based on temperature and state of matter. The warmer they are, the faster they move and vice versa. Solids are at a lower temperature than gases and liquids, which means the molecules are moving slower, and hold together better, also explaining why solids aren't malleable.

A rigid container of gas has a pressure of 1.72 atm and temperature of 21 oC. If the temperature increases to 85 oC, what is the

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

the new pressure is 2.09 atm

Explanation:

you have to use gay lussac's law so the formula is

p1/t1 = p2/t2

and convert C to Kelvin k=C+273.15

1.72atm/294.15 = p2/358.15

solve for p2 by multiplying 358.15 on both sides

p2=2.09 atm

How many Noble gases are there?

melomori [17]

Answer:

six noble gases

Here are five of the six noble gases: helium, neon, argon, kypton and xeon. They're all colourless and transparent. Krypton and xeon form compounds only with difficulty. Helium, neon and argon don't form compounds at all.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The basic oxide is an oxide-forming a base solution.

These oxides are mainly from group 1 alkaline and group 2-alkaline earth

If this oxide is dissolved in water it will form an alkaline solution

LO + H₂O --> L(OH)₂ ---> alkaline earth

L₂O + H₂O --> LOH --> alkaline

So the basic oxides : Na₂O and MgO

Na₂O + H₂O --> NaOH (sodium hydroxide, strong base)

MgO + H₂O --> Mg(OH)₂ (magnesium hydroxide, strong base)

The aqueous solution of CO₂ , obtained by dissolving CO₂ in water

CO₂ + H₂O --> H₂CO₃ (carbonic acid)

In general, basic oxide is obtained from metal oxide, while acid oxide is obtained from non-metal oxide

Using your knowledge of chemistry and the information in Reference Table H, which statement concerning propanone and water at 50

stiv31 [10]

The answer is (2) higher vapor pressure and weaker intermolecular forces. Propanone has a lower boiling point, so it is more volatile than water. Propanone's vapor pressure is, therefore, higher than that of water at 50 degrees Celsius. Propanone is more volatile due to the fact that the intermolecular forces that hold its molecuels together are not as strong as those that hold together molecules of water. Since the IMFs are weaker, it takes less thermal energy to break individual molecules free of each other.
