The formula for kinetic energy is KE=1/2(mv²).  Since both mass and velocity are multiplied by each other, particle with a larger mass needs to be moving slower than a particle with less mass if both have the same kinetic energy. You can think of it as 2KE/m=v² or 2KE/v²=m, If you increase the mass the velocity needs to decrease to keep the same KE value.

I hope this helps.  Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

How is chemical bonding useful to our lives?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Three types of chemical bonds are important in human physiology, because they hold together substances that are used by the body for critical aspects of homeostasis, signaling, and energy production, to name just a few important processes. These are ionic bonds, covalent bonds, and hydrogen bonds.

Explain why beryllium is produced when potassium is heated with beryllium
Vladimir [108]

Explanation:

The more reactive element replaces less reactive element during chemical reaction.

Since, potassium is more reactive than beryllium. When potassium reacts with beryllium choride, it replaces beryllium and forms potassium chloride and produces beryllium.

Classify the four reactions that your group analyzed today as being either endothermic or exothermic
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
Chemical reactions are basically divided into two major classes depending on whether the reaction lose energy or gain energy from the environment during the course of the reaction. The two classes of reaction are exothermic and endothermic reaction.
An exothermic reaction is a type of reaction in which the reaction system lose energy to the environment and thus, the energy content of the reactants is more than that of the product formed. Because of this, the enthapyl change of an exothermic reaction is always negative. 
An endothermic reaction is a type of reaction in which the reaction system absorb energy from the environment. Thus, the energy contents of the products is always higher than that of the reactants and the enthapyl change of the reaction is always positive. During the course of the reaction, the reaction container is usually cold to the touch because energy is been absorbed from the environment.

The molar solubility of C a ( O H ) 2 C a ( O H ) 2 was experimentally determined to be 0.019 M. Based on this value, what is th
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

Ksp = 2.74 x 10⁻⁵

Explanation:

The solubility equilibrium for Ca(OH)₂ is the following:

  Ca(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)

I                          0                0

C                       + s               + 2s

E                        s                   2s

According to the ICE table, the expression for the solubility product constant (Kps) is:

Ksp = [Ca²⁺] x ([OH⁻])² = s x (2s)² = 4s³

Then, we calculate Ksp from the solubility value (s):

s = 0.019 M

⇒ Ksp = 4s³ = 4 x (0.019)³ = 2.74 x 10⁻⁵
