Temperature is _____ to the average kinetic energy of a gas.
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As on increasing the temperature, the molecules gain more kinetic energy due to which they tend to collide and move rapidly from one place to another.  

Thus, we can conclude that when temperature is increased, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases.

This means that temperature is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of a gas.

Vinegar is a solution of acetic acid (the solute) in water (the solvent) with a solution density of 1010 g/L. If vinegar is 0.80
Damm [24]

Answer:

4.8 %

Explanation:

We are asked the concentration in % by mass, given the molarity of the solution and its density.

0.8 molar solution means that we have 0.80 moles of acetic acid in 1 liter of solution. If we convert the moles of acetic acid to grams, and the 1 liter solution to grams, since we are given the density of solution, we will have the values necessary to calculate the % by mass:

MW acetic acid = 60.0 g/mol

mass acetic acid (the solute) = 0.80 mol x 60 g / mol = 48.00 g

mass of solution = 1000 cm³ x 1.010 g/ cm³      (1l= 1000 cm³)

                            = 1010 g

% (by mass) = 48.00 g/ 1010 g  x 100 = 4.8 %

What is the MOLAR heat of combustion of methane(CH₄) if 64.00g of methane are burned to heat 75.0 ml of water from 25.00°C to 95
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

-5.51 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the heat required to heat the water.

We use the following expression.

Q = c \times m \times \Delta T

where,

  • c: specific heat capacity
  • m: mass
  • ΔT: change in the temperature

The average density of water is 1 g/mL, so 75.0 mL ≅ 75.0 g.

Q = 4.184J/g.\°C \times 75.0g \times (95.00\°C - 25.00\°C) = 2.20 \times 10^{3} J = 2.20 kJ

Step 2: Calculate the heat released by the methane

According to the law of conservation of energy, the sum of the heat released by the combustion of methane (Qc) and the heat absorbed by the water (Qw) is zero

Qc + Qw = 0

Qc = -Qw = -22.0 kJ

Step 3: Calculate the molar heat of combustion of methane.

The molar mass of methane is 16.04 g/mol. We use this data to find the molar heat of combustion of methane, considering that 22.0 kJ are released by the combustion of 64.00 g of methane.

\frac{-22.0kJ}{64.00g} \times \frac{16.04g}{mol} = -5.51 kJ/mol
