A gas mixture contains HBr, NO2, and C2H6 at STP.If a tiny hole is made in the container, which gas will effuse fastest?Which ga

s molecules have the highest average kinetic energy at this temperature?

Explanation:

Molar mass of HBr = 81 g/mol

Molar mass of nitrogen dioxide gas = 46 g/mol

Molar mass of ethane = 30 g/mol

Graham's Law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. The equation given by this law follows the equation:

\text{Rate of diffusion}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{Molar mass of the gas}}}

So, the gas with least molar mass will effuse out fastest from the container and that is ethane gas.

The formula for average kinetic energy is:

K.E=\frac{3}{2}kT

where,

k = Boltzmann’s constant = 1.38\times 10^{-23}J/K

T = temperature = 273.15 K ( at STP)

As we can see from the formula that kinetic energy depends upon only temperature of the gas molecule.

So, from this we can say that all the gas molecules have the same average kinetic energy at this temperature.

A sample of 1.00 moles of oxygen at 50°C and 98.6 kPa, occupies what volume?
enyata [817]

Answer:

27.22 dm³

Explanation:

Given parameters:

number of moles = 1 mole

temperature= 50°C, in K gives 50+ 273 = 323K

Pressure= 98.6kpa in ATM, gives 0.973 ATM

Solution:

Since the unknown is the volume of gas, applying the ideal gas law will be appropriate in solving this problem.

The ideal gas law is mathematically expressed as,

Pv=nRT

where P is the pressure of the gas

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

R is the gas constant

T is the temperature

Input the parameters and solve for V,

0.973 x V = 1 x 0.082 x 323

V= 27.22 dm³

Explain why atoms move at different speeds depending on whether they are in liquids or solids.
Ad libitum [116K]
<span>Atoms move at different speeds depending on whether they are in liquids or solids </span><span>because the atoms or particles in solids are closely bonded while they are loosely bonded in liquids.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>The attractive forces between the particles are so high that they remain in fixed positions. The particles, then, cannot slip over the neighbors particles. They can only vibrate. That is why solids have definite form and volume.</span><span />

<span>That the particles in liquids are loosely bonded means that the attractive forces are less compared with solids. Then the partilces can move and pass each other. They are not in fixed arrangements any more. Yet the particles are attracted to each other, so they have definite volume, although they take the form of the vessel, and they can flow.
