Explanation:

Expression for the v_{rms} speed is as follows.

            v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}

where,   v_{rms} = root mean square speed

                     k = Boltzmann constant

                    T = temperature

                    M = molecular mass

As the molecular weight of oxygen is 0.031 kg/mol and R = 8.314 J/mol K. Hence, we will calculate the value of v_{rms} as follows.

               v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}

                            = \sqrt{\frac{3 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times 309.02 K}{0.031 kg/mol}}

                            = 498.5 m/s

Hence, v_{rms} for oxygen atom is 498.5 m/s.

For nitrogen atom, the molecular weight is 0.028 kg/mol. Hence, we will calculate its v_{rms} speed as follows.

                v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}

                              = \sqrt{\frac{3 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times 309.92 K}{0.028 kg/mol}}

                              = 524.5 m/s

Therefore, v_{rms} speed for nitrogen is 524.5 m/s.

We have that the the liquid is

  • C_2H_5OH (ethanol
  • And at a condition of H_2SO4 as catalyst and temp 170

From the question we are told

  • A student wished to prepare <em>ethylene </em>gas by <em>dehydration </em>of ethanol at 140oC using sulfuric acid as the <em>dehydrating </em>agent.
  • A low-boiling liquid was obtained instead of ethylene.
  • What was the liquid, and how might the reaction conditions be changed to give ethylene

<h3>Ethylene formation</h3>

Generally the equation is

2C_2H_5OH------CH3CH_2O-CH_2CH_3+H_20

Therefore

with ethanol at 140oC

The product is diethyl ethen

The reaction at 170 ethylene will give

C_2H_5OH-------CH_2=CH_2+H_2O( at a condition of H_2SO4 as catalyst and temp 170)

Therefore

The the liquid is

  • C_2H_5OH (ethanol

TRUE FALSE? The MOLE is a unit in Chemistry that serves as a bridge between the ATOMIC and MACROSCOPIC worlds?​
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

A mole is defined as 6.02214076 × 1023 of some chemical unit, be it atoms, molecules, ions, or others. The mole is a convenient unit to use because of the great number of atoms, molecules, or others in any substance.
