In a sample of oxygen gas at room temperature, the average kinetic energy of all the balls stays constant. Which postulate of ki

netic molecular theory best explains how this is possible?

The kinetic energy of gas particles depends on temperature. Greater the temperature higher will be the average kinetic energy

Kinetic energy is related to the temperature as:

KE = 3/2 kT

where k = Boltzmann constant

T = temperature

In the given example, since the temperature of O2 gas is maintained at room temperature, the average KE will also remain constant.

The fifth postulate of the kinetic molecular theory which states that the temperature of the gas depends on the average KE of the particles of the gas explains the above observation.

What is the temperature of 0.5 moles of water vapor that occupies 120 dm3 and applies a pressure of 15,000 Pa to its container?
MArishka [77]
Use the ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

so, T = PV / nR

n=0.5
V= 120 dm^3 = 120 L  (1 dm^3 = 1 L)
R = 1/12
P = 15,000 Pa =  0.147 atm     (1 pa = 9.86 10^{-6} )

Put the values:

T = PV / nR
T = (0.147) (120) / (0.5) (1/12)
T= 426 K

Why do you think steeples and roofs might appear green, but a copper square does not?
Masteriza [31]
Because the copper roofs, have been outside for a while and oxidization has occurred.
When metals become oxidized they rust, but when copper becomes oxidized, it turns greenish.
So copper roofs oxidize and turn green from being outside and a copper square doesn’t if it’s inside.
