Why does conduction occur more slowly in gases than in solids?

Chemistry
1 answer:
son4ous [18]3 years ago
3 0

Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy with no transfer of manner. It occurs when two materials touch; Conduction in gas is slower than in liquids and solids because the particles in a gas collide less often.

According to the Kinetic Molecular Theory, as the volume of a gas increases: the number of particle impacts per unit area increa
aliya0001 [1]

As the volume of a gas increases <em>at constant temperature</em>, the number of particle impacts per unit area decreases.

There is the same number of impacts, but they are spread over a larger surface area.

Thus, the number of impacts per unit area decreases.

Melting of ice is a spontaneous reaction at room temperature and pressure because melting is accompanied by _____.
ki77a [65]

Answer:

An increase in entropy

Explanation:

In ice, the molecules are very well ordered because of the H-bonds. As ice melts, the intermolecular forces are broken (requires energy), but the order is interrupted (so entropy increases). Water is more random than ice, so ice spontaneously melts at room temperature.

Just think about this rationally. Melting ice (or anything) will require heat put in (this is called the latent heat of fusion), so you automatically know that the change in enthalpy is going to be positive. In order to make the reaction spontaneous, delta G, the Gibbs free energy has to be negative. So now look at the formula Delta(G) = Delta(H) - T*Delta*(S). If you know that g is negative, and H is positive, then it is only possible if -T*Delta(S) is negative. If that is positive, then Delta(S) has to be positive. So theres your answer :). An increase in entropy

If an acid has a ka=1.6x10^-10, what is the acidity of the solution?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
The information given in the question is not enough to determine the acidity of the solution. This is because, acidity can only be found with the equation: pH = -log [H+].
 In order to determine the acidity of the solution, the half titration point value is needed, this will make it possible to determine the value of H30+.  If the half point titration value is known, then Ka will be equivalent to pH and the value will be evaluated using the equation: - log (1.6 * 10^-10).

Colorful fireworks often involve the decomposition of barium nitrate and potassium chlorate and the reaction of the metals magne
Fynjy0 [20]

Fireworks owe their colors to reactions of combustion of the metals present. When Mg and Al burn, they emit a white bright light, whereas iron emits a gold light. Besides metals, oxygen is necesary for the combustion. The decomposition reactions of barium nitrate and potassium chlorate provide this element. At the same time, barium can burn emitting a green light.

(a) Barium nitrate is a <em>salt</em> formed by the <em>cation</em> barium Ba²⁺ and the <em>anion</em> nitrate NO₃⁻. Its formula is Ba(NO₃)₂. Potassium chlorate is a <em>salt</em> formed by the <em>cation</em> potassium K⁺ and the <em>anion</em> chlorate ClO₃⁻. Its formula is KClO₃.

(b) The balanced equation for the decomposition of potassium chloride is:

2KClO₃(s) ⇄ 2KCl(s) + 3O₂(g)

(c)  The balanced equation for the decomposition of barium nitrate is:

Ba(NO₃)₂(s) ⇄ BaO(s) + N₂(g) + 3O₂(g)

(d) The balanced equations of metals with oxygen to form metal oxides are:

  • 2 Mg(s) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2 MgO(s)
  • 4 Al(s) + 3 O₂(g) ⇄ 2 Al₂O₃(s)
  • 4 Fe(s) + 3 O₂(g) ⇄ 2 Fe₂O₃(s)
