Why do particles with different masses have the same kinetic energy when at the same temperature?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Mandarinka [93]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: Because Kinetic energy depends on temperature and not mass

Explanation:

Average kinetic energy is defined as the average of the kinetic energies of all the particles present in a system. It is determined by the equation:

K.E=\frac{3RT}{2}

where K.E = Kinetic energy

R= gas constant

T= temperature in kelvin

It is visible that kinetic energy is dependent on the temperature of the system and not on the mass of the system. Thus particles with different masses have the same kinetic energy when at the same temperature

The kinetic energy of a ball with a mass of 0.5kg and a velocity of 10 m/s is ?
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

K.E = 25 J

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of ball = 0.5 g

Velocity of ball = 10 m/s

Kinetic energy = ?

Solution:

Formula:

K.E = 1/2 mv²

m = mass

v = velocity

Now we will put the values in formula.

K.E = 1/2 mv²

K.E = 1/2× 0.5kg × (10m/s)²

K.E = 1/2 ×0.5kg × 100m²/s²

K.E = 25 Kg.m²/s²

Kg.m²/s² = J

K.E = 25 J

What is the difference between speed, velocity,acceleration.
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Velocity is the rate of change of displacement( change of distance in a particular direction with respect to time) , and acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time. ... Also, speed is a scalar quantity but velocity and acceleration are vector quantities.

Care needs to be taken when adding acid to base because
nikitadnepr [17]
<span>Mixing an acid and a base results in neutralization, but the results are potentially dangerous. No matter which acid or base is used, the resulting solution is water and varying types of salt. The process of neutralization often involves the substances heating up when they come together. If the solution heats up too much or too fast, a violent explosion or the creation of harmful or flammable gases is a possibility. This occurs when the chemicals are mixed too quickly, the acid and base are too strong or if there is no available salt to be made in the solution.</span>

The photon of light that is emitted as an electron drops back to its original orbit is:
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

energy

Explanation:

The photon of light that is emitted as an electron drops back to its original orbit is energy and this energy is released during de-excitation process.

The electron is jumped into higher level and back into lower level by absorbing and releasing the energy.

The process is called excitation and de-excitation.

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.  For example if electron jumped from K to L it must absorbed the energy which is equal the energy difference of these two level. The excited electron thus move back to lower energy level which is K by releasing the energy because electron can not stay longer in higher energy level and comes to ground state.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum

What<br>was the initial volume of the hydrogen in cm3?​
svetlana [45]

Answer:

255.51cm3

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

V1 (initial volume) =?

T1 (initial temperature) = 50°C = 50 + 273 = 323K

T2 (final temperature) = - 5°C = - 5 + 237 = 268K

V2 (final volume) = 212cm3

Using the Charles' law equation V1/T1 = V2/T2, the initial volume of the gas can be obtained as follow:

V1/T1 = V2/T2

V1/323 = 212/268

Cross multiply to express in linear form

V1 x 268 = 323 x 212

Divide both side by 268

V1 = (323 x 212)/268

V1 = 255.51cm3

Therefore, the initial volume of the gas is 255.51cm3
