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 many moles of sulfur<br> dioxide are in 2.26 x 10^33 sulfur dioxide molecules?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

moles = no. of molecules / Avogadro's number

         = 2.26 x 10^33 / 6.022 x 10^23

         = 3752906011

Round to significant figures which is 3 = 3.75 x 10^9 mol

Explanation: The formula for finding how many moles of a substance when given the amount of molecules is: moles = number of molecules / Avogadro's number

Which electron transition represents a gain of energy
Helen [10]

Answer:

The transition from lower energy level to higher energy level require a gain of energy.

Explanation:

When transition occur from lower energy level to higher energy level require a gain of energy. Electron could not jump unto higher energy level without gaining thew energy.

When electron jump into lower energy level from high energy level it loses the energy.

For example electron when jumped from 2nd to 3rd shell it gain energy and when in return back to 2nd shell from 3rd shell it loses energy.

The process is called excitation and de-excitation.

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum.

Which statement best explains why the elements in Group 18 do not have electronegativity values?
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

1) The elements have filled valence levels.

Explanation:

Since they have filled valence levels, they're stable and don't need to electrons to fill their valence shells since they're already full.

2) False, They do have electrons

3) False, He does have only one electron shell, but going down the periods, every next element have one more electron shell than a preceding one has.

4)False, they're actually the smallest atoms of their respective period

It takes a slug 20 minutes to travel from the grass to the trash can, a trip of 15 meters. How far could the slug travel in 60 m
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

45 meters

Explanation:

If it takes the slug 20 minutes to travel 15 meters, you multiply the 15 by three to get the distance for 60 minutes.
