Answer:

The moon revolves around Earth because Earth is larger than the moon, so it is heavier, and has a greater gravitational pull. The plane of the moon's orbit is very close to the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. This is why planets revolve around the Sun, because it is larger, so therefore it has a greater gravitational pull.

Determine the average value of the translational kinetic energy of the molecules of an ideal gas at (a) 27.8°C and (b) 143°C. Wh

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

a) $k_{avg}=6.22\times 10^{-21}$

b) $k_{avg}=8.61\times 10^{-21}$

c) $k_{mol}=3.74\times 10^{3}J/mol$

d) $k_{mol}=5.1\times 10^{3}J/mol$

Explanation:

Average translation kinetic energy ( $k_{avg}$ ) is given as

$k_{avg}=\frac{3}{2}\times kT$ ....................(1)

where,

k = Boltzmann's constant ; 1.38 × 10⁻²³ J/K

T = Temperature in kelvin

a) at T = 27.8° C

T = 27.8 + 273 = 300.8 K

substituting the value of temperature in the equation (1)

we have

$k_{avg}=\frac{3}{2}\times 1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 300.8$

$k_{avg}=6.22\times 10^{-21}J$

b) at T = 143° C

T = 143 + 273 = 416 K

substituting the value of temperature in the equation (1)

we have

$k_{avg}=\frac{3}{2}\times 1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 416$

$k_{avg}=8.61\times 10^{-21}J$

c ) The translational kinetic energy per mole of an ideal gas is given as:

$k_{mol}=A_{v}\times k_{avg}$

here $A_{v}$ = Avagadro's number; ( 6.02×10²³ )

now at T = 27.8° C

$k_{mol}=6.02\times 10^{23}\times 6.22\times 10^{-21}$

$k_{mol}=3.74\times 10^{3}J/mol$

d) now at T = 143° C

$k_{mol}=6.02\times 10^{23}\times 8.61\times 10^{-21}$

$k_{mol}=5.1\times 10^{3}J/mol$

5p - 14 = 8 p + 4 find p

Digiron [165]

Answer:

Explanation:

5p - 14 = 8p + 4

5p = 8p + 18 <-- Moving constants to one side; add the same number of +14 to both sides.

-3p = 18. <-- The same thing with the variable itself.

p = -6 <-- Divide both sides by negative 3.

Nonmetals in the periodic table have a negative oxidation number. Which statement best explains why?

Tema [17]

They have a negative oxidation number because nonmetals gain electrons, thus making them negatively charged ions (anions). Metals become cations and have a positive charge because they lose electrons.

The force pushing down is the force of Gravity. On a chair it is in perfect balance with the force pushing up (the normal force)

in terms of magnitude
FN = FG = mg

the forces are in opposite direction
