Answer:

The temperature of the molecule will be increased by a factor of 9

Explanation:

The relationship between the temperature and the rms speed of a gas is given by

Vrms=√(3RT/MM)

Where R = Universal gas constant

T = Absolute temperature of the gas in kelvin

MM = Molar mass of the gas

Since from the question, only the rms speed and the temperature are said to change, the term 3R/MM can be represented by a constant k. The relationship then becomes Vrms=√kT  

At the intitial speed, temperature = T1

Vrms=√(kT1 )     (1)

When the speed is increased by a factor of 3, the relationship becomes

(3V)rms=√(kT2 )     (2)

Dividing equation (2) by equation (1)

(3V)rms/Vrms =√(kT2 )/√(kT1 )

3=√(T2/T1 )

T2/T1 =9

The temperature of the molecule will be increased by a factor of 9

How is it that when a salt sample dissolves in water, the delta S for the process is positive?
Bess [88]

Answer:-

Water is highly ordered. In water each oxygen atom is connected to others around it through hydrogen bonding via bridging hydrogen atoms. When a salt like NaCl is dissolved, some of these Hydrogen bonds break.

When a salt like NaCl dissolves in water, the NaCl breaks in to ions Na+ and Cl-.

The water molecules now surround these ions.

The slightly negative oxygen end of water molecule gets near the Na+, while the slightly positive Hydrogen of water molecule gets near the Cl-.

So before salt sample dissolve, the water molecules were highly ordered due to hydrogen bonding. Now after salt dissolve there is a decrease in order and thus an increase in disorder of the water molecules.

Due to increase in disorder, entropy which is a measure of disorder increases. Since entropy increases, delta S for the process is positive.
