As a substance changes from a liquid to a gas, the average distance between molecules..

Chemistry

Answer: increases

Explanation:

Matter exists in three different states, they are solids, liquids and gases. And each of them contains molecules with a certain amount of kinetic energy.

Hence, the addition of heat changes a substance from a liquid to a gas through a process called vaporization, whereby liquid molecules on changing to gases acquire a higher kinetic energy, and move more freely within the containing vessel.

Thus, the higher kinetic energy explains the increase in the average distance between molecules.

Which statement is correct about the rate of chemical reactions?
ratelena [41]

Answer:

It increases when a catalyst is added.

Explanation:

The following factors control reaction rates:

1. Nature of reactants

2. Concentration of the reactants or pressure of gaseous

3. Temperature

4. Presence of catalyst

5. Sunlight

The addition of a foreign body to a reaction may influence the speed of the reaction. If a foreign body increases the rate of reaction, it is a called a positive catalyst or simply a catalyst. A negative catalyst is called an inhibitor.

A catalyst is a substance that is introduced into a chemical reaction to change the rate of the reaction without itself being affected at the end of the reaction.

Catalysts helps to reduce reaction time of many slow reactions. Most catalysts are specific in their actions and works on certain reactions or substrates.

Temperature change has a considerable effect on reaction rates since temperature is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of reacting particles. Generally, reaction rate varies as temperature directly.

A car at rest ends accelerates for 12 seconds. After this time the car is going 36 m/s. What was its acceleration?
Zigmanuir [339]

Acceleration is defined as velocity per unit time.

Acceleration=\frac{Velocity}{time}

a=\frac{dv}{dt}

Here, a=acceleartion,

v=velocity=36 m/s

t=time=12 s

a=\frac{dv}{dt}

a=\frac{36}{12}

a=3 ms⁻²

A car at rest ends accelerates for 12 seconds. After this time the car is going 36 m/s. So acceleration that is a=3 ms⁻².

How many moles of aluminum oxide al2o3 are in a sample with a mass of 204.0
erik [133]

Answer:

2 moles

Explanation:

Let us first start by calculating the molecular mass of Al₂O₃.

The mass of a mole of any compound is called it's molar mass. 1 molar mass 6.02 X 10²³, or Avogadro's number, of compound entities.

Say, 1 mole of Al₂O₃ has 6.02 X 10²³ of Al₂O₃ molecules/atoms. It also has 2*6.02 X 10²³ number of Al atoms and 3*6.02 X 10²³ number of O atoms.

Molecular mass of Al : 26.981539 u

Molecular mass of O: 15.999 u

Therefore, molecular mass of Al₂O₃ is:

= (2*26.981539) + (3*15.999) u

= 101.960078 u

This can be approximated to 102 u.

1mole weighs 102 u

So, 2moles will weigh 2*102 = 204 u

A substance whose molecule is monatomic
JulijaS [17]
All of the elements in the periodic table are monoatomic except the 7 elements that are diatomic atoms. These 7 elements are hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, chlorine, bromine, iodine and fluorine. Monoatomic substances are those elements that are stable by themselves.

What is the molecular formula of each compound?<br> (c) Empirical formula HgCl (m = 5 472.1 g/mol)
beks73 [17]

The molecular formula of HgCl (m = 5 472.1 g/mol) is Hg2Cl4.

The molecular formula is an expression that defines the number of atoms of each element in one molecule of a compound. It shows the actual number of each atom in a molecule.

<h3>Molecular formula: What is it?</h3>

A chemical formula is a way to communicate information in chemistry about the proportions of atoms that make up a specific chemical compound or molecule. Chemical element symbols, numbers, and occasionally other symbols like parentheses, dashes, brackets, commas, and plus and minus signs are used to represent the chemical elements.

A molecule's molecular formula reveals which atoms and how many of each kind are included within it. No subscript is used if there is just one atom of a certain kind. A subscript is added to the symbol for an atom if it contains two or more of a certain type of atom.
