<span>During cooling, the kinetic energy of the molecules falls, be</span>cause, when cooling a substace, the particles (molecules) slow down.


The kinetic energy is related to the speed, such that the lower speed the lower kinetic energy.


Particles can translate and vibrate, in the case of gases and liquids, and only vibrate (in the case of solids).


As a substance is cooled the particles get closer and the motion (translation and vibration), slows down. You can see by the equation of the kinetic energy (KE):


KE = [1/2]mass×(speed)² that as the speed is lower the KE will also be lower.


Additionally, when the cooling does not drive a change of phase (gas to liquid, liquid to solid, or solid to gas), it drives a decrease on temperature. In this case you should know that the temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy: the lower the temperature, the lower the kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy if an energy in motion. Molecules in a substance has varying kinetic energies because they move at different speeds. During cooling heat is released to the environment.  Thus, when heat is being released, the kinetic energy of the molecules decreases.

How many grams in 6.20 x 10^25 atoms of bromine (Br) ? image attached , will give brainliest
Deffense [45]

Answer:

8239.2g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of atoms in Br  = 6.2 x 10²⁵atoms

Unknown:

Mass of Br = ?

Solution:

From mole concepts, we know that:

       1 mole of a substance contains 6.02 x 10²³ atoms/mol

 Molar mass of Br  = 80g/mol

6.2 x 10²⁵atoms  x \frac{1}{6.02 x 10^{23} } \frac{mol}{atoms} x  80 x \frac{g}{moles}  

          = 8239.2g

Luda [366]

Answer:

We need 78.9 mL of the 19.0 M NaOH solution

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Molarity of the original NaOH solution = 19.0 M

Molarity of the NaOH solution we want to prepare = 3.0 M

Volume of the NaOH solution we want to prepare = 500 mL = 0.500 L

Step 2: Calculate volume of the 19.0 M NaOH solution needed

C1*V1 = C2*V2

⇒with C1 = the concentration of the original NaOH solution = 19.0 M

⇒with V1 = the volume of the original NaOH solution = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with C2 = the concentration of the NaOH solution we want to prepare = 3.0 M

⇒with V2 = the volume  of the NaOH solution we want to prepare = 500 mL = 0.500 L

19.0 M * V2 = 3.0 M * 0.500 L

V2 = (3.0 M * 0.500L) / 19.0 M

V2 = 0.0789 L

We need 0.0789 L

This is 0.0789 * 10^3 mL = 78.9 mL

We need 78.9 mL of the 19.0 M NaOH solution

What is scientific literacy?<br><br> Why is it important?
miskamm [114]

Answer:Scientific literacy is the knowledge and understanding of scientific concepts and processes required for personal decision making, participation in civic and cultural affairs, and economic productivity. It also includes specific types of abilities.Science literacy is important because it provides a context for addressing societal problems, and because a science- literate populace can better cope with many of its prob- lems and make intelligent and informed decisions that will affect the quality of their lives and those of their children.
