Explain how the four states of matter differ at the molecular level

1 answer:

4 0

In solids, strong bonds between atoms/molecules keep them in place. There is not much movement of the individual particals. If you add heat, your substance will go through the different states of matter because the energy you put in is enough to break these bonds between particles. Plasma is a bit different. These are just gas particles BUT they have a charge (that can move from one particle to another) which causes electricity.

Consider two equal-volume balloons under the same conditions of temperature and pressure. One contains helium, and the other con

Olegator [25]

Answer:

1. Number of gas particles (atoms or molecules)

2. Number of moles of gas

3. Average kinetic energy

Explanation:

Since the two gas has the same volume and are under the same conditions of temperature and pressure,

Then:

1. They have the same number of mole because 1 mole of any gas at stp occupies 22.4L. Now both gas will occupy the same volume because they have the same number of mole

2. Since they have the same number of mole, then they both contain the same number of molecules as explained by Avogadro's hypothesis which states that at the same temperature and pressure, 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02x10^23 molecules or atoms.

3. Being under the same conditions of temperature and pressure, they both have the same average kinetic energy. The kinetic energy of gas is directly proportional to the temperature. Now that both gas are under same temperature, their average kinetic energy are the same.

Aluminum reacts with sulfur gas to produce aluminum sulfide. a) What is the limiting reactant? What is the excess reagent? b) Ho

Sophie [7]

Answer:

a) Limiting: sulfur. Excess: aluminium.

b) 1.56g Al₂S₃.

c) 0.72g Al

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the initial mass of both aluminium and sulfur are missing, therefore, one could assume they are 1.00 g for each one. Thus, by considering the undergoing chemical reaction turns out:

$2Al(s)+3S_2(g)\rightarrow 2Al_2S_3(s)\\$

a) Thus, considering the assumed mass (which could be changed based on the one you are given), the limiting reagent is identified as shown below:

$n_S^{available}=1.00gS_2*\frac{1molS_2}{64gS_2} =0.0156molS_2\\n_S^{consumed\ by \ Al}=1.00gAl*\frac{1molAl}{27gAl}*\frac{3molS_2}{2molAl}=0.0556molS_2$

Thereby, since there 1.00g of aluminium will consume 0.0554 mol of sulfur but there are just 0.0156 mol available, the limiting reagent is sulfur and the excess reagent is aluminium.

b) By stoichiometry, the produced grams of aluminium sulfide are:

$m_{Al_2S_3}=0.0156molS_2*\frac{2molAl_2S_3}{3molS_2} *\frac{150gAl_2S_3}{1molAl_2S_3} =1.56gAl_2S_3$

c) The leftover is computed as follows:

$m_{Al}^{excess}=(0.0556-0.0156)molS_2*\frac{2molAl}{3molS_2}*\frac{27gAl}{1molAl} =0.72 gAl\\$

NOTE: Remember I assumed the quantities, they could change based on those you are given, so the results might be different, but the procedure is quite the same.

Best regards.

Bob measured out 1.60 grams of sodium. He calculates that 1.60 g of

saul85 [17]

Answer:

84.8%

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Bob measured out 1.60 g of Na. He forms NaCl according to the following equation.

Na + 1/2 Cl₂ ⇒ NaCl

According to this equation, he calculates that 1.60 g of sodium should produce 4.07 g of NaCl, which is the theoretical yield. However, he carries out the experiment and only makes 3.45 g of NaCl, which is the real yield.

Step 2: Calculate the percent yield.

We will use the following expression.

%yield = real yield / theoretical yield × 100%

%yield = 3.45 g / 4.07 g × 100% = 84.8%
