does the mean molecular speed chnage as much as the temperature as the water heats up? explain please help

Chemistry
1 answer:
Vikki [24]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

When water is heated up then its molecules move rapidly from one place to another. Hence, kinetic energy of the molecules tend to increase.

Also,   K.E = \frac{3}{2}kT

where, T = temperature

Therefore, more is the increase in temperature more will be the mean molecular speed change in the water molecules.

As a result, mean molecular speed change increases with increase in temperature and vice-versa.

the specific heat capacity of water is 1 cal/gc how much heat in calories is released when 25.7 of water is cooled from 85 to 49
liraira [26]

Answer:

The amount of heat that is released is -925.2 cal

Explanation:

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

Sensible heat is the amount of heat that a body can receive or release without affecting its molecular structure, that is, it does not change the state (solid, liquid, gaseous).  In other words, sensible heat is the amount of heat that a body absorbs or releases without any changes in its physical state.

The equation that allows to calculate heat exchanges is:

Q = c * m * ΔT

Where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, constituted by a substance of specific heat c and where ΔT is the variation in temperature.

In this case:

  • c= 1 \frac{cal}{g*C}
  • m= 25.7 g
  • ΔT= Tfinal - Tinitial= 49 °C - 85 °C= -36 °C

Replacing:

Q= 1 \frac{cal}{g*C} *25.7 g* (-36 C)

Solving:

Q= -925.2 cal

<u><em>The amount of heat that is released is -925.2 cal</em></u>

How many seconds are in 2 days?
maks197457 [2]
Well there are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour and 24 hours in a day so you would do 60×60 which is 3600. then you would multiply 3600 by 24 which would give you the number of seconds in a day, 86400. since you need the number of seconds in 2 days just multiply the amount by 2. your answer is: There are 172,800 seconds in two days.

Why is looking through water different than looking through air?
morpeh [17]
Looking through water has a curved effect. When the light travels through it, the transperancy is different. If you stick a pencil into a half filled glass of water you will see that it is optimised but the direction is different.

The activation energy of a certain uncatalyzed biochemical reaction is 50.0 kJ/mol. In the presence of a catalyst at 37°C, the r
rodikova [14]

Answer:

E₁ ≅ 28.96 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Given that:

The activation energy of a certain uncatalyzed biochemical reaction is 50.0 kJ/mol,

Let the activation energy for a catalyzed biochemical reaction = E₁

E₁ = ??? (unknown)

Let the activation energy for an uncatalyzed biochemical reaction = E₂

E₂ = 50.0 kJ/mol

    = 50,000 J/mol

Temperature (T) = 37°C

= (37+273.15)K

= 310.15K

Rate constant (R) = 8.314 J/mol/k

Also, let the constant rate for the catalyzed biochemical reaction = K₁

let the constant rate for the uncatalyzed biochemical reaction = K₂

If the  rate constant for the reaction increases by a factor of 3.50 × 10³ as compared with the uncatalyzed reaction, That implies that:

K₁ = 3.50 × 10³

K₂ = 1

Now, to calculate the activation energy for the catalyzed reaction going by the following above parameter;

we can use the formula for Arrhenius equation;

K=Ae^{\frac{-E}{RT}}

If K_1=Ae^{\frac{-E_1}{RT}} -------equation 1     &

K_2=Ae^{\frac{-E_2}{RT}} -------equation 2

\frac{K_1}{K_2} = e^{\frac{-E_1-E_2}{RT}

E_1= E_2-RT*In(\frac{K_1}{K_2})

E_1= 50,000-8.314*310.15*In(\frac{3.50*10^3}{1})

E_1 = 28957.39292  J/mol

E₁ ≅ 28.96 kJ/mol

∴ the activation energy for a catalyzed biochemical reaction (E₁) = 28.96 kJ/mol

What caused light to appear bent when it refracts ?
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Light refracts whenever it travels at an angle into a substance with a different refractive index (optical density). This change of direction is caused by a change in speed. ... When light enters a more dense substance (higher refractive index), it 'bends' more towards the normal line.
