Answer: Hydrogen molecules will have greatest average speed.

Explanation:

The formula for average speed is  :

\mu_{av}={\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi\times M}}}

R = gas constant  

T = temperature  

M = Molecular Mass

Now putting all the values:

\frac{\nu_{H_2}}{\nu_{O_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi\times M_{H_2}}}/{\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi\times M_{O_2}}}

\frac{\nu_{H_2}}{\nu_{O_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{16}{2}}

\frac{\nu_{av}_{H_2}}{\nu_{av}_{O_2}}=8

Thus average speed of hydrogen is 8 times the average speed of oxygen. Thus hydrogen molecules will have greatest average speed

How many moles of gas would occupy a 25.0 liter when the temp is 22.0 degrees celsius and the pressure is 646 torr
Luda [366]

Answer:

0.877 mol  

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the<em> Ideal Gas Law </em>to solve this problem.

pV = nRT     Divide both sides by RT

 n = (pV)/(RT)

Data:

p = 646 torr

V = 25.0 L

R = 0.082 06 L·atm·K⁻¹mol⁻¹

T = 22.0 °C

Calculations:

(a) <em>Convert the pressure to atmospheres </em>

p = 646 torr × (1 atm/760 torr) = 0.8500 atm

(b) <em>Convert the temperature to kelvins </em>

T = (22.0 + 273.15) K = 295.15 K

(c) <em>Calculate the number of moles </em>

n = (0.8500 × 25.0)/(0.082 06 × 295.15)

  = 0.877 mol

If atoms of a halogen nonmetal (Group 17) gains one electron, the atoms the have __.
RUDIKE [14]

Hm, this could be more than one option, but gaining electrons makes a negative charge, so

If atoms of a halogen nonmetal (Group 17) gains one electron, the atoms the have "a negative one charge".
