Different elements produce different colors of light when heated because the electrons in these elements have different permissible energy levels. When an element is heated, the electrons inside it become excited and move to an higher energy level from the ground state. When the electrons drop from this higher energy level, they typically emit energy quantum, the color of the light that is observed at this stage depends on difference that exist in the two energy levels.

If the molecule could move upward without colliding with other molecules, then how high would it go before coming to rest? Give

tankabanditka [31]

The maximum height at which nitrogen molecule will go before coming to rest is 14 kilometers.

Given:

The nitrogen gas molecule with a temperature of 330 Kelvins is released from Earth's surface to travel upward.

To find:

The maximum height of a nitrogen molecule when released from the Earth's surface before coming to rest.

Solution:

The maximum height attained by nitrogen gas molecule = h
The temperature of nitrogen gas particle = T = 330 K

The average kinetic energy of the gas particles is given by:

$K.E=\frac{3}{2}K_bT\\\\K.E=\frac{3}{2}\times 1.38\times 10^{-23} J/K\times 330 K\\\\K.E=6.381\times 10^{-21} J$

The nitrogen molecule at its maximum height will have zero kinetic energy as all the kinetic energy will get converted into potential energy

The potential energy at height h = $P.E = 6.381\times 10^{-21} J$
Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28.0134 g/mol
Mass of nitrogen gas molecule = m

$m= \frac{ 28.0134 g/mol}{6.022\times 10^{23} mol^{-1}}=4.652\times 10^{-23} g\\\\1g=0.001kg\\\\m=4.652\times 10^{-23}\times 0.001 kg\\\\=4.652\times 10^{-26} kg$

The acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s^2
The maximum height attained by nitrogen gas molecule = h
The potential energy is given by:

$P.E=mgh$

$6.381\times 10^{-21} J=4.652\times 10^{-26} kg\times 9.8 m/s^2\times h\\\\h=\frac{6.381\times 10^{-21} J}{4.652\times 10^{-26} kg\times 9.8 m/s^2}\\\\h=13,996.6 m\\\\1 m = 0.001 km\\\\h=13,996.6 m=h=13,996.6\times 0.001 k m\\\\=13.9966 km \approx 14 km$

The maximum height at which nitrogen molecule will go before coming to rest is 14 kilometers.

A 75.0 g sample of dinitrogen monoxide is confined in a 3.q L vessel. What is the pressure( in atm) at 115 celsius

Nonamiya [84]

Data Given:
Pressure = P = ?

Volume = V = 3.0 L

Temperature = T = 115 °C + 273 = 388 K

Mass = m = 75.0 g

M.mass = M = 44 g/mol

Solution:
Let suppose the Gas is acting Ideally. Then According to Ideal Gas Equation,
P V = n R T
Solving for P,
P = n R T / V ------ (1)
Calculating Moles,
n = m / M

n = 75.0 g / 44 g.mol⁻¹

n = 1.704 mol

Putting Values in Eq. 1,

P = (1.704 mol × 0.08205 atm.L.mol⁻¹.K⁻¹ × 388 K) ÷ 3.0 L

P = 18.08 atm
