Thermal energy is defined as the total kinetic energy of all particles in an object. Even though the cup of water has a higher temperature, the bathtub has more thermal energy because it contains much more mass of water compared to the cup.
Answer:
36.2 K
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
- Initial pressure of the gas (P₁): 8.6 atm
- Initial temperature of the gas (T₁): 38°C
- Final pressure of the gas (P₂): 1.0 atm (standard pressure)
- Final temperature of the gas (T₂): ?
Step 2: Convert T₁ to Kelvin
We will use the following expression.
K = °C +273.15
K = 38 °C +273.15 = 311 K
Step 3: Calculate T₂
We will use Gay Lussac's law.
P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂
T₂ = P₂ × T₁/P₁
T₂ = 1.0 atm × 311 K/8.6 atm = 36.2 K
Ten name if this compound is Potassium Oxide
The correct answer from the choices given is the third option. Covalent compounds have low boiling points. Also, their melting points are low. Covalent bonds have relatively low attractions which results to these properties. The bonds are easily broken by taking energy or adding energy.
