Answer:

The molar mass of the gas is 36.25 g/mol.

Explanation:

  • To solve this problem, we can use the mathematical relation:

ν = \sqrt{3RT/M}

Where, ν is the speed of light in a gas <em>(ν = 449 m/s)</em>,

R is the universal gas constant <em>(R = 8.314 J/mol.K)</em>,

T is the temperature of the gas in Kelvin <em>(T = 20 °C + 273 = 293 K)</em>,

M is the molar mass of the gas in <em>(Kg/mol)</em>.

ν = \sqrt{3RT/M}

(449 m/s) = √ (3(8.314 J/mol.K) (293 K) / M,

<em>by squaring the two sides:</em>

(449 m/s)² = (3 (8.314 J/mol.K) (293 K)) / M,

∴ M = (3 (8.314 J/mol.K) (293 K) / (449 m/s)² = 7308.006 / 201601 = 0.03625 Kg/mol.

<em>∴ The molar mass of the gas is 36.25 g/mol.</em>

Match the following associations. Exothermic or endothermic
Alekssandra [29.7K]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>1) ∆H is positive \Rightarrow Endothermic </em>

<em>2) E_p>E_r \Rightarrow Endothermic  </em>

<em>3) Energy is absorbed \Rightarrow Endothermic </em>

<em>4) E_r>E_p \Rightarrow Exothermic </em>

<em>5) ∆H is negtive \Rightarrow Exothermic </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

∆H is called as enthalpy change  

It is also called as Heat of reaction

Energy is required for the bond to break a bond.

Energy is released when a bond is formed.

H_2+Cl_2>2HCl

that is

H-H+Cl-Cl>2H-Cl

We see in this equation, bonds between hydrogen and chlorine molecules gets broken and on the right side bond is formed in HCl.

If energy of products greater than energy of reactants then the reaction enthalpy change is endothermic .

If energy of products lesser than energy of reactants then the reaction enthalpy change is exothermic .

For example  

\Delta H=E_p-E_r

=30KJ-20KJ

=+10KJ

(positive hence endothermic)

\Delta H=E_p-E_r

=10KJ-40KJ

=-30KJ

(negative hence exothermic)

Lord kelvin described the concept of absolute zero temperature and the laws relating the change in thermal energy during chemica
kondaur [170]
Lord Kelvin, were he alive today, would be considered a Thermochemist. Thermochemistry is interested in the role of heat in chemical reactions. This includes the role of heat both as a biproduct of chemical reactions and a facilitator.

Kelvin's description of absolute zero is an important concept in thermochemistry. At absolute zero, there is no movement of molecules, and no energy available facilitate chemical reactions.

Which of the following statements is true?
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Metals lose electrons to become cations.

Explanation:

For example, sodium loses an electron to become a sodium cation.

Na· ⟶ Na⁺ + e⁻

A is <em>wrong</em>. Nonmetals gain electrons to become anions.

B is <em>wrong</em>. Metals lose electrons.

D is <em>wrong</em>. Nonmetals gain electrons to become anions.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

He could be blindfolded and know which was his and which was his sister's. All he would need to do is pick them both up and if they were too big then pick them up one at a time. The lumber might make it harder to tell, but this is a question about physical properties.

So there is a change in mass which for the purpose of this question should be  quite different. His sister's ought to be much lighter than his. He would find it easier to pick up.
