What negative impact did chemistry have on society through the production and use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)?

1 answer:

5 0

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are used generally in aerosols, sprays, perfume, refrigerants, insulation foams and other stuffs. Throughout its applications, the negative impacts weighed more than its benefits. Its greater setback is the contribution to the thinning of the ozone layer which exposes us more with the harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun.

When the temperature of a sample of neon gas increases, what else increases? Distance between the atoms Kinetic energy of the at

Allushta [10]

Answer: Kinetic Energy of the atoms also increases.

Explanation: We are given that the temperature of the gas increases.

Relation between kinetic energy and temperature follows:

$K.E._({avg})=\frac{3RT}{2N_A}$

where, K = Average Kinetic energy

R = Gas constant

T = Temperature

$N_A$ = Avogadro's number

As seen from the relation above, the Kinetic energy of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature, hence as the temperature increases, kinetic energy of the atom also increases.
