Answer:

As the temperature of a sample of matter is increased, the average kinetic energy of the particles in the sample increase.

Explanation:

The temperature of a substance is the measure of the average kinetic energy of its partilces.

The temperature, i.e. how hot or cold is a substance, is the result of the collisions of the particles (atoms or molecules) of matter.

The kinetic theory of gases states that, if the temperature is the same, the average kinetic energy of any gas is the same, regardless the gas and other conditions.

This equation expresses it:

Avg KE = (3/2) (R / N) T

Where Avg KE is the average kinetic energy, R is the universal constant of gases, N is Avogadro's constnat, and T is the temperature measure in absolute scale (Kelvin).

As you see, in that equation Avg KE is propotional to T, which means that as the temperature is increased, the average kinetic energy increases.

What is the solubility in moles/liter for silver chloride at 25 oC given a Ksp value of 1.6 x 10-10. Write using scientific nota

trapecia [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

AgCl ⇄ Ag⁺ + Cl⁻

m m m

If x mole of AgCl be dissolved in one litre .

[ Ag⁺ ] [ Cl⁻ ] = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁰

m² = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁰

m = 1.26 x 10⁻⁵ moles

So solubility of AgCl is 1.26 x 10⁻⁵ moles / L

Answer:

18 L

Explanation:

boyles law

P1V1 = P2V2

V2 = P1V1/P2

V2 = (.9 * 4)/.2

How many moles of S are in 35.4 g of (C3H5)2S?

alexandr402 [8]

0.310 moles First, look up the atomic weights of the elements involved. Atomic weight carbon = 12.0107 Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794 Atomic weight sulfur = 32.065 Molar mass (C3H5)2S = 6 * 12.0107 + 10 * 1.00794 + 32.065 = 114.2086 g/mol Moles (C3H5)2S = 35.4 g / 114.2086 g/mol = 0.309959145 mol Since there's just one sulfur atom per (C3H5)2S molecule, the number of moles of sulfur will match the number of moles of (C3H5)2S which is 0.310 when rounded to 3 significant digits.

On what two days would the UK, Chile, South Africa, and Japan have an equal amount of day and night? O Winter Solstice and Summe

mario62 [17]

I say both equinox because winter solstice has the least amount of sunlight and the summer solstice has the most ampunt of daylight so i said both equinox
