What best describes the kinetic energy of two gas particles before and after a collision?

1 answer:

7 0

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by the body when in motion. It is calculated by 1/2mv² where m is the mass of the body and v is the velocity.
Baring in mind that energy can not be created or destroyed but can only be transformed from one form to another (law of conservation of energy) then when two bodies collide the total kinetic energy of the two particles stays the same (kinetic energy is preserved). This is in the case of perfectly elastic collision, however, during inelastic collisions the kinetic energy is transformed to other forms of energy such as heat, sound and energy used in bond breakage.

Answer:

4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry - Reactions

Balancing Reactions

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

RxN: Fe + O₂ → Fe₂O₃

Step 2: Balance

We need to balance both Fe and O.

LCM of 2 and 3 is 6:

Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃

We now need the same amount of Fe on both sides:

4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃

Methyl salicylate is a common active ingredient in liniments such as ben-gay. It is also known as oil of wintergreen. It is made

arlik [135]

Answer: The empirical formula is $C_3H_3O$ .

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2$ = 12.24 g

Mass of $H_2O$ = 2.505 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 12.24 g of carbon dioxide, = $\frac{12}{44}\times 12.24=3.338g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 2.505 g of water, = $\frac{2}{18}\times 2.505=0.278g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (5.287) - (3.338+0.278) = 1.671 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C = $\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{3.338g}{12g/mole}=0.278moles$

Moles of H= $\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{0.278g}{1g/mole}=0.278moles$

Moles of O= $\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{1.671g}{16g/mole}=0.104moles$

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C = $\frac{0.278}{0.104}=3$

For H = $\frac{0.278}{0.104}=3$

For O = $\frac{0.104}{0.104}=1$

The ratio of C : H : O = 3: 3: 1

Hence the empirical formula is $C_3H_3O$ .

If you have 2L of a solution with 6 moles of HCl in it, what is the molarity of it?

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Molarity = 3 M

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of solution = 2 L

Number of moles of HCl = 6 mol

Molarity = ?

Solution:

Molarity is used to describe the concentration of solution. It tells how many moles are dissolve in per litter of solution.

Formula:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / L of solution

by putting values,

Molarity = 6 mol / 2 L

Molarity = 3 M (M = mol/L)
