Solid particles are all compacted together, liquid particles are not as close as solid particles but still move together, and gas particles do not stay together
Answer:
The sample will be heated to 808.5 Kelvin
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Volume before heating = 2.00L
Temperature before heating = 35.0°C = 308 K
Volume after heating = 5.25 L
Pressure is constant
Step 2: Calculate temperature
V1 / T1 = V2 /T2
⇒ V1 = the initial volume = 2.00 L
⇒ T1 = the initial temperature = 308 K
⇒ V2 = the final volume = 5.25 L
⇒ T2 = The final temperature = TO BE DETERMINED
2.00L / 308.0 = 5.25L / T2
T2 = 5.25/(2.00/308.0)
T2 = 808.5 K
The sample will be heated to 808.5 Kelvin
Answer:
Gases are easily compressed. We can see evidence of this in Table 1 in Thermal Expansion of Solids and Liquids, where you will note that gases have the largest coefficients of volume expansion. The large coefficients mean that gases expand and contract very rapidly with temperature changes. In addition, you will note that most gases expand at the same rate, or have the same β. This raises the question as to why gases should all act in nearly the same way, when liquids and solids have widely varying expansion rates.
The answer lies in the large separation of atoms and molecules in gases, compared to their sizes, as illustrated in Figure 2. Because atoms and molecules have large separations, forces between them can be ignored, except when they collide with each other during collisions. The motion of atoms and molecules (at temperatures well above the boiling temperature) is fast, such that the gas occupies all of the accessible volume and the expansion of gases is rapid. In contrast, in liquids and solids, atoms and molecules are closer together and are quite sensitive to the forces between them.
