What does the kinetic theory say about the kinetic energy present in solids

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: The kinetic energy of solids is limited to vibrational energies..the particles are tightly bound in their crystalline structure and can only bend, flex, and vibrate about relatively fixed position. When vibrational energies exceed the strength of the force holding the particles together, the crystal structure collapses and we say the material melted. The particles can now have, in addition to its vibrational energies, rotational energy. Chunks of the collapsed crystal can, like a ball floating in water, rotate without showing much translational energy. Generally, we associate solids with vibrational kinetic energy, liquids with rotational kinetic energy, and gases with translational kinetic energy. Actually though, liquids have both vibrational and rotational energies, and gases have all three.

Answer:

Judging from the wording of he question, you mean units. If that is indeed the case, the answer is g/Mol (grams per mol)

Let me know if my interpretation is incorrect and please tell me what you are actually trying to find.

When a 12.8 g sample of KCL dissolves in 75.0 g of water in a calorimeter the temp. drops from 31 Celsius to 21.6 Celsius. Calcu

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Step 1: Calculate qsur (the surrounding is

usually the water)

qsur = ? J

m = 75.0 g water

c = 4.184 J/g

ΔT = (Tfinal- Tinitial)= (21.6 – 31.0) = -9.4 oC

qsur = m · c · (ΔT)

qsur = (75.0g) (4.184 J/g

oC) (-9.4 oC)

qsur = - 2949.72 J

First, using the information we know that we

must solve for qsur, which is the water. We know

the mass for water, 75.0g, the specific heat of

the water, 4.184 j/g

c, and the change in

temperature, 21.6-31.0 = -9.4 oC. Plugging it

into the equation, we solve for qsur.

Step 2: Calculate qsys qsys = - (qsur)

qsys = - (- 2949.72 J)

qsys = + 2949.72

In this case, the qsur is negative, which means

that the water lost energy. Where did it go? It

went to the system. Thus, the energy of the

system is negative, opposite, the energy of the

surrounding.

Step 3: Calculate moles of the substance

that is the system

Given: 12.8 g KCl

Mol system = (g system given)

(molar mass of system)

Mol system = (12.8 g KCl)

(39.10g + 35.45g)

Mol system = 12.8 g KCl

74.55 g

Mol system = 0.172

Here, we solve for the mol in the system by

using the molar mass of the material in the

system.

Step 4: Calculate ΔH ΔH = q sys .

Mol system

ΔH= + 2949.72 J

0.172 mol

ΔH= +17179.81 J/mol or +1.72 x 104

J/mol

Ann [662]

Solution:

After the reaction of mixture is worked-up Washing three times the organic with sodium carbonate helps to decrease the solubility of the organic layer into the aqueous layer. This allows the organic layer to be separated more easily.

And then the reaction washed by saturated NACL we have The bulk of the water can often be removed by shaking or "washing" the organic layer with saturated aqueous sodium chloride (otherwise known as brine). The salt water works to pull the water from the organic layer to the water layer.
