) Any gas exerts a pressure against its surroundings. For example, if you put more gas in a balloon, it exerts more pressure and

expands the balloon. Describe what causes the pressure in a gas, in terms of the fact that molecules of gas are moving.

Explanation:

As we know that molecules of a gas move far away from each other because they are held by weak Vander waal forces. So, when a balloon is filled by a gas then molecules of a gas strike at its walls leading to more number of collisions.

This will also lead to more expansion of the balloon. As we know that pressure is the force exerted n per unit area of a substance or object.

Thus, more is the kinetic energy of the molecules of the gas more will be the force exerted by them. Hence, more will be the pressure exerted.

What is the number of grams of an element that is numerically equal to the atomic mass in amu?
bagirrra123 [75]
The wording of your question doesn't quite make sense, but a mole of an element has the same mass in grams as a single atom of that element has in amu. The mole is defined as 6.02 x10^22 things, whether they be atoms or molecules or even moles! 6.02x10^22 atoms of carbon has a mass of 12.01 g, and a single atom of carbon has a mass of 12.01 amu. Hope this helps!

One difference between molecular formula and molecular weight.​
jek_recluse [69]

Answer: The formula mass (formula weight) of a molecule is the sum of the atomic weights of the atoms in its empirical formula. The molecular mass (molecular weight) of a molecule is its average mass as calculated by adding together the atomic weights of the atoms in the molecular formula.

Hope this helps.... Stay safe and have a great weekend!!!!! :D
