The molecules of the liquid will be having the greatest average kinetic energy when the temperature of the liquid reaches its boiling point.

<u> Explanation: </u>

Average kinetic energy is the measure of kinetic energy exhibited by the molecules of any substance. It is directly proportionate to the temperature of the substance. According to kinetic molecular theory,

                           k=\frac{3 R T}{2 N_{A}}

As the molecules in solids are mostly closely packed, so they will attain the least kinetic energy of molecules in solid phase. Similarly, the molecules in liquid are slightly loosely packed and on increasing the temperature, the molecules will attain more energy to increase their neighbouring distances.

And when that temperature reaches the boiling point of that liquid substance, the molecules had attained the maximum amount of energy to increase its average kinetic energy to the maximum limit and transferring the liquid molecules to gaseous state.

As the molecules in gas phase are very loosely packed. The starting of the change in the state of molecules from liquid to gas phase on reaching the boiling point indicate the maximum average kinetic energy at that point.

What is the index of hydrogen deficiency of a compound with a molecular formula of c6h15n?
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

IHD = 0

Explanation:

Given that

C₆H₁₅N

Number of carbon atoms(n) = 6

Number of hydrogen atoms(x') = 15

Number of nitrogen atoms = 1

There is nitrogen atoms then x = x' -1

The index of hydrogen deficiency given as

IHD=\dfrac{2n+2-x}{2}

So

IHD=\dfrac{2n+2-x}{2}

IHD=\dfrac{2\time 6+2-(15-1)}{2}

IHD = 0

The index of hydrogen deficiency is zero.

Why will a toy train remain still if you push on the engine with
netineya [11]

Explanation:

Because when two equal forces are applied from opposite directions, they "eliminate" each other.

The train would go right if a 3N force was only applied in the right direction, and it would go left if the same force was only applied to the left.

If a 3N force was applied to the right and a 2N force to the left, it would equal a 1N force to the right (3-2=1).

But there it's 3-3=0, so in practice the force is 0N. Therefore the train won't move.
