The average speed is calculated using the following formulaspeed = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{m} }


Where

k = 1.381 X  10^{-23} J / K

T = 298 K [room temperature]

m = mass of each molecule of oxygen

mass of one mole of oxygen molecules = 32 g / mol

mass of one molecule of oxygen will be = \frac{32}{6.023 X 10^{23} }

mass of one molecule of oxygen will be = 5.31 X 10^{-23} g = 5.31 X 10^{-26} kg

putting values

average speed = \sqrt{\frac{3 X 1.381 X  10^{-23} X 298}{5.31 X 10^{-26} kg} }

Average speed = 482.19 m / s

average speed = 1735.8 km / h

so approx = 1700 km/h

(a) the temperature on a warm summer day is 87 °f. what is the temperature in °c? (b) many scientific data are reported at 25
olchik [2.2K]

Answers:

              (a)  30.55 °C

              (b) 298 K and 77°F

              (c)  204.44 °C and 477.44 K

              (d)  -320.8 °F and -196 °C

Explanation:

Converting °C into °F;

                                   °F  =  °C × 1.8 + 32

Converting °F into °C;

                                   °C  =  °F - 32 ÷ 1,8

Converting °C into K;

                                   K  =  °C + 273

Converting K into °C;

                                   °C  =  K - 273

O<br> Plz answer this plz plz plz
saul85 [17]

Answer:

Q1. C

Q2 and Q3 are correct.

Explanation:

Since F=ma, and the force is a constant,

for the greatest acceleration, the mass of the ball must be the least.

Thus ball C has the greatest acceleration.

Let's check:

A) F=ma

a=F/m

a= F/68

B) a=F/72

C) a= F/64 (✓)

The smaller the denominator, the larger the value of a.

(Think: 1/2 >1/3)

What is the magnitude of the electrostatic force between a singly charged sodium ion and an adjacent singly charged chlorine ion
Arisa [49]
To know the electrostatic force between two charges or between two ions, you can use the Coulomb's Law. The equation is F = k*q1*q1/r^2, where F is the electrostatic force, q1 and q2 are the charger for Na and Cl, and r is the distance between the centers of both atoms. In literature, the distance is 0.5 nm or 0.5 x 10^-9 meters. The charge for Na+ and Cl- is the same magnitude but different in sign. Since Na+ is a cation, its charge is +1.603x10^-19 C (the charge of an electron). For Cl- being an anion, its charge is -1.603x10^-19 C. The constant k is an empirical value equal to 9x10^9. Using the formula:

F = (9x10^9)(+1.603x10^-19)(-1.603x10^-19)/(0.5 x 10^-9)^2
F = -9.25 x 10^-10 Newtons

The negative denotes that the net force is more towards the Cl- ion.

Dissolving 16 g of urea (MW= 60 g/mol) in 39 g of water produces 42.3 ml of solution. Determine the molarity of this solution
Genrish500 [490]

Hey there!:

Molar mass urea = 60 g/mol

Number of moles of solute:

moles solute = mass solute / molar mass

moles solute = 16 / 60

moles solute => 0.2666 moles of urea

Volume in liters:

42.3 mL / 1000 => 0.0423 L

Therefore:

Molarity = moles of solute / volume of solution

Molarity = 0.2666 / 0.0423

= 6.302 M


Hope that helps!
