Answer:

A physical change, such as a state change or dissolving, does not create a new substance, but a chemical change does. In a chemical reaction, the atoms and molecules that interact with each other are called reactants. In a chemical reaction, the atoms and molecules produced by the reaction are called products.

Choose a depiction of a gas sample containing equal molar amounts of xenon and argon as described by kinetic molecular theory. R

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

On the attached picture.

Explanation:

Hello,

At first, it is important to remember that kinetic molecular theory help us understand how the molecules of a gas behave in terms of motion. In such a way, the relative velocity of a gas molecule has the following relationship with the gas' molar mass:

$V$ ∝ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{M} }$

That is, an inversely proportional relationship which allows us to infer that the bigger the molecule the slower it. In this manner, as argon is smaller than xenon, it will move faster.

Now, as the gases are in equal molar amounts and considering that argon moves faster, on the attached picture you will find the suitable depiction of the gas sample, since red dots (argon) have a larger tail than the blue dots (xenon).

Best regards.
