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.

The analysis of a compound gives the following percent composition by mass: C: 52.14 percent; H: 9.946 percent; S: 12.66 percent

wariber [46]

Answer:

C11H25SO4

Explanation:

The total mass of the compound is 253.4 g, so, the mass of each element will be:

C: 52.14% of 253.4 = 0.5214x253.4 = 132.12 g

H: 9.946% of 253.4 = 0.09946x253.4 = 25.20 g

S: 12.66% of 253.4 = 0.1266x253.4 = 32.08 g

O: 25.26% of 253.4 = 0.2526x253.4 = 64.00 g

The molar mass are: C = 12 g/mol, H 1 g/mol, S = 32 g/mol, and O = 16 g/mol

So, to know how much moles will be, just divide the mass calculated above for the molar mass:

C: 132.12/12 = 11 moles

H: 25.20/ 1 = 25 moles

S: 32.08/32 = 1 mol

O: 64.00/16 = 4 moles

So the molecular formula is C11H25SO4

What are the molarity and osmolarity of a 1-liter solution that contains half a mole of calcium chloride? How many molecules of

givi [52]

Answer:

Molarity = 0.5 M

Osmolarity = 0.5 x 2 = 1 Osmpl.

Molecules of Cl2 = 6.02 x $10^{23}$ / 4= 1.505 x $10^{23}$ no. of molecules

Explanation:

If we add half mole in 1L volume than molarity will obviously be 0.5 M.

The osmolarity is molarity multiplies by number of dissociates of solute that for CaCl2 are 2. So, 2 x 0.5 = 1

Half will be molecules of Ca and half will be of Cl2 for 0.5M.
