What are the 5 principles of kinetic molecular theory?

1 answer:

8 0

The kinetic molecular theory of gases is stated in the following four principles: The space between gas molecules is much larger than the molecules themselves. Gas molecules are in constant random motion. The average kinetic energy is determined solely by the temperature.

I got this from my notes from my chemistry class last semester

Why is the chemical formula magnesium sulfide written as MgS and NOT Mg2S2?

Anna71 [15]

Explanation:

The chemical formula magnesium sulfide written as MgS and NOT $Mg_{2}S_{2}$ because charge on magnesium ion is +2 and charge on sulfide ion is -2.

Therefore, these charges will cancel out each other as we write the formula in simplest crisscross method.

Also, the numbers in a chemical formula display the total number of atoms attached with each other or central atom.

For example, in $CaCl_{2}$ there are two chlorine atoms attached to one calcium atom.

Therefore, $MgS$ denotes one sulfur atom is attached to magnesium atom. Hence, we do not write the formula of magnesium sulfide as $Mg_{2}S_{2}$ because this shows two magnesium atoms are attached to two sulfur atoms which is not true.

Assume that all of this fossil fuel is in the form of octane (C8H18) and calculate how much CO2 in kilograms is produced by worl

AnnZ [28]

The given question is incomplete. the complete question is:

The world burns the fossil fuel equivalent of approximately $9.50\times 10^{12}$ kg of petroleum per year. Assume that all of this petroleum is in the form of octane. Calculate how much CO2 in kilograms is produced by world fossil fuel combustion per year.( Hint: Begin by writing a balanced equation for the combustion of octane.)

Answer: $29\times 10^{12}kg$

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons are burnt in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

$2_C8H_{18}+17O_2\rightarrow 16CO_2+18H_2O$

To calculate the moles :

$\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}$

$\text{Moles of octane}=\frac{9.50\times 10^{12}\times 10^3g}{114g/mol}=0.083\times 10^{15}moles$

According to stoichiometry :

As 2 moles of octane give = 16 moles of $CO_2$

Thus $0.083\times 10^{15}moles$ of octane give = $\frac{16}{2}\times 0.083\times 10^{15}=0.664\times 10^{15}moles$ of $CO_2$

Mass of $CO_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.664\times 10^{15}moles\times 44g/mol=29.2\times 10^{15}g=29.2\times 10^{12}kg$

Thus $29\times 10^{12}kg$ of $CO_2$ is produced by world fossil fuel combustion per year.
