<span>Determine the root-mean-square sped of CO2 molecules that have an average Kinetic Energy of 4.21x10^-21 J per molecule. Write your answer to 3 sig figs.

E = 1/2 m v^2
If you substitute into this formula, you will get out the root-mean-square speed.
If energy is Joules, the mass should be in kg, and the speed will be in m/s.
1 mol of CO2 is 44.0 g, or 4.40 x 10^1 g or 4.40 x 10^-2 kg.
If you divide this by Avagadro's constant, you will get the average mass of a CO2 molecule.
4.40 x 10^-2 kg / 6.02 x 10^23 = 7.31 x 10^-26 kg
So, if E = 1/2 mv^2
</span>v^2 = 2E/m = 2 (4.21x10^-21 J)/7.31 x 10^-26 kg = 115184.68
Take the square root of that, and you get the answer 339 m/s.
The primary function of chloroplast is to conduct photosynthesis, which is the process plants use to convert light energy into chemical energy that can be released to fuel the organisms' activities.
Molecule is a chemical substance that cannot be broken down into another chemical substance.
Answer:
537.68 torr.
Explanation:
- We can use the general law of ideal gas:<em> PV = nRT.</em>
where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.
V is the volume of the gas in L.
n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.
R is the general gas constant,
T is the temperature of the gas in K.
- If n and V are constant, and have different values of P and T:
<em>(P₁T₂) = (P₂T₁).</em>
P₁ = 485 torr, T₁ = 40°C + 273 = 313 K,
P₂ = ??? torr, T₂ = 74°C + 273 = 347 K.
∴ P₂ = (P₁T₂)/(P₁) = (485 torr)(347 K)/(313 K) = 537.68 torr.
