The sample with the lowest AVERAGE kinetic energy is
the coolest one.
The sample with the lowest TOTAL kinetic energy depends on
not only the temperature of the samples, but also on their size,
since each molecule in the sample has kinetic energy.
HNO2 is the formula for Nitrous Acid
If you have an aqueous solution that contains 1.5 moles of HCl, the number of moles of ions in the solution is 3.0 moles.
<h2>Further Explanation
</h2><h3>Strong acids </h3>
- Strong acids are types of acids that undergo complete dissociation to form ions when dissolved in water.
- Examples of such acids are, HCl, H2SO4 and HNO3
- Dissociation of HCl
HCl + H₂O ⇔ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻
<h3>Weak acids </h3>
- Weak acids are types of acids that undergo incomplete dissociation to form ions when dissolved in water.
- Examples of such acids are acetic acids and formic acids.
- Dissociation of acetic acid
H₃COOH ⇔ CH₃COO⁻ + H⁺; CH₃COO⁻ is a conjugate base of acetic acid.
<h3>In this case;</h3>
- HCl which is a strong acid that ionizes completely according to the equation;
HCl + H₂O ⇔ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻
- From the equation, 1 mole of HCl produces 1 mole of H₃O⁺ ions and 1 mole of OH⁻ ions.
Therefore;
1.5 moles of HCl will produce;
= 1.5 moles of H₃O⁺ ions and 1.5 moles of OH⁻ ions.
This gives a total number ions of;
= 1.5 + 1.5
= 3 moles of ions
