think about putting a glass of water on the counter, in the freezer, and on a hot stove how does the temperature of the water af
1 answer:
The kinetic energy and the physical state of water depend strongly on the temperature;
- Firstly, The kinetic energy of water on a hot stove is higher than that on the counter in the freezer; that the kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature according to the relation:
; where R is the universal gas constant, T is the temperature and NA is Avogadro number.
As the temperature increases, the speed of colliding molecules increases and the kinetic energy increases.
- Secondly, The physical state of water depends on the temperature; water has three states (gas, liquid and solid) depends on the temperature.
- If a glass of water is putt on the counter in the freezer, it will be converted to the solid state (ice).
- And, as if it is putt on a hot stove, it will be vapor (gaseous state).

Explanation:
Expression for the speed is as follows.
where, = 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 as follows.
=
= 498.5 m/s
Hence, for oxygen atom is 498.5 m/s.
For nitrogen atom, the molecular weight is 0.028 kg/mol. Hence, we will calculate its speed as follows.
=
= 524.5 m/s
Therefore, speed for nitrogen is 524.5 m/s.
