The kinetic molecular theory<span> of gases is stated in the following four </span>principles<span>: The space between gas </span>molecules<span> is much larger than the </span>molecules<span> themselves. Gas </span>molecules<span> are in constant random motion. The average </span>kinetic<span> energy is determined solely by the temperature.
I got this from my notes from my chemistry class last semester

I believe/thought they were very similar due to the fact that they both undergo a process called “oxidation” where they release oxygen into the atmosphere.
Answer:
a. 2 HgO(s) ⇒ 2 Hg(l) + O₂(g)
b. 0.957 g
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced equation
2 HgO(s) ⇒ 2 Hg(l) + O₂(g)
Step 2: Convert 130.0 °C to Kelvin
We will use the following expression.
K = °C + 273.15
K = 130.0°C + 273.15
K = 403.2 K
Step 3: Calculate the moles of O₂
We will use the ideal gas equation.
P × V = n × R × T
n = P × V/R × T
n = 1 atm × 0.0730 L/0.0821 atm.L/mol.K × 403.2 K
n = 2.21 × 10⁻³ mol
Step 4: Calculate the moles of HgO that produced 2.21 × 10⁻³ moles of O₂
The molar ratio of HgO to O₂ is 2:1. The moles of HgO required are 2/1 × 2.21 × 10⁻³ mol = 4.42 × 10⁻³ mol.
Step 5: Calculate the mass corresponding to 4.42 × 10⁻³ moles of HgO
The molar mass of HgO is 216.59 g/mol.
4.42 × 10⁻³ mol × 216.59 g/mol = 0.957 g
Answer:
Answer E.
For a collision to be completely elastic, there must be NO LOSS in kinetic energy.
We can go through each answer choice:
A. Since the ball rebounds at half the initial speed, there is a loss in kinetic energy. This is NOT an elastic collision.
B. A collision involving sticking is an example of a perfectly INELASTIC collision. This is NOT an elastic collision.
C. A reduced speed indicates that there is a loss of kinetic energy. This is NOT elastic.
D. The balls traveling at half the speed after the collision indicates a loss of kinetic energy, making this collision NOT elastic.
E. This collision indicates an exchange of velocities, characteristic of an elastic collision. We can prove this:
Let:
m = mass of each ball
v = velocity
We have the initial kinetic energy as:
KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + 0 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2KE=21mv2+0=21mv2
And the final as:
KE = 0 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2KE=0+21mv2=21mv2
