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.

erosion

The process known as weathering breaks up rocks so that they can be carried away by the process known as erosion. Water, wind, ice, and waves are the agents of erosion that wear away at the surface of the Earth

1. How is energy being used inefficiently?

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

1. Energy intensity (primary energy consumption divided by GDP) for the world and various countries. The lower the value, the less energy is used to generate economic output, so lower means more efficient in a sense.

2.Lower Your Thermostat. Adopt the habit of lowering the temperature on your thermostat while away from home.

the standard change in Gibbs free energy is Δ????°′=7.53 kJ/molΔG°′=7.53 kJ/mol . Calculate Δ????ΔG for this reaction at 298 K29

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

ΔG = 16.218 KJ/mol

Explanation:

dihydroxyacetone phosphate ↔ glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate

ΔG = ΔG° - RT Ln Q

∴ ΔG° = 7.53 KJ/mol * ( 1000 J / KJ ) = 7530 J/mol

∴ R = 8.314 J/K.mol

∴ T = 298 K

∴ Q = [glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate] / [dihydroxyacetone phosphate]

⇒ Q = 0.00300 / 0.100 = 0.03

⇒ ΔG = 7530J/mol - (( 8.314 J/K.mol) * ( 298 K ) * Ln ( 0.03 ))

⇒ ΔG = 16217.7496 J/mol ( 16.218 KJ/mol )
