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

The atomic mass on the periodic table represents what?

Artyom0805 [142]

The atomic mass on the periodic table represents the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons.

Atomic mass = Number of protons + number of neutrons

Hope this helps!

Given the reaction: A + B <--> C + D

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

A.) 4.0

Explanation:

The general equilibrium expression looks like this:

$K = \frac{[C]^{c} [D]^{d} }{[A]^{a} [B]^{b} }$

In this expression,

-----> K = equilibrium constant

-----> uppercase letters = molarity

-----> lowercase letters = balanced equation coefficients

In this case, the molarity's do not need to be raised to any numbers because the coefficients in the balanced equation are all 1. You can find the constant by plugging the given molarities into the equation and simplifying.

$K = \frac{[C]^{c} [D]^{d} }{[A]^{a} [B]^{b} }$ <----- Equilibrium expression

$K = \frac{[2 M] [2 M]}{[1 M] [1 M] }$ <----- Insert molarities

$K = \frac{4}{1 }$ <----- Multiply

$K = 4$ <----- Divide

How many grams of NH3 can be dissolved in 50 grams of water at 50oC?

weqwewe [10]

15 grams of NH3 can be dissolved

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

50 grams of water at 50°C

Required

mass of NH3

Solution

Solubility is the maximum amount of a substance that can dissolve in some solvents. Factors that affect solubility

1. Temperature:
2. Surface area:
3. Solvent type:
4. Stirring process:

We can use solubility chart (attached) to determine the solubility of NH3 at 50°C

From the graph, we can see that the solubility of NH3 in 100 g of water at 50 C is 30 g

So that the solubility in 50 grams of water is:

= 50/100 x 30

= 15 grams

If the sun is next to the earth on the left, and the moon is next to the earth on the right, what type of tide is it?

Andrej [43]

Answer:

When the sun, moon, and Earth are in alignment (at the time of the new or full moon), the solar tide has an additive effect on the lunar tide, creating extra-high high tides, and very low, low tides—both commonly called spring tides.
