Answer:

Different isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons in their atomic nuclei but differing numbers of neutrons. Radioisotopes are radioactive isotopes of an element. They can also be defined as atoms that contain an unstable combination of neutrons and protons, or excess energy in their nucleus.

What is the average kinetic energy and rms speed of N₂ molecules at STP? Compare these values with those of H₂ molecules at STP.

Otrada [13]

The average kinetic energy and rms speed of N₂ molecules at STP is $5.65686 \times 10^{-21}$ and $493 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$

Given,

$\begin{aligned}&\mathrm{P}=1.013 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{~Pa} \\&\mathrm{~T}=273.15 \mathrm{~K} \\&\rho=1.25 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\end{aligned}$

The average kinetic energy of a molecule is given by, $K . E .=\frac{3}{2} k T$ where k is the Boltzmann constant and Tis the absolute temperature of the gas.

$K . E .=\frac{3}{2} \times $1.380649 \times 10^{-23}$ \times 273.15 K$

$K.E=$5.65686 \times10^{-21}$$

The rms speed of $\mathrm{N}_{2}$ molecules is given by

$\begin{aligned}&\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{rms}}=\sqrt{\frac{3 \mathrm{RT}}{\mathrm{M}}}=\sqrt{\frac{3 \mathrm{P}}{\rho}} \\&\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{rms}}=\sqrt{\frac{3 \mathrm{P}}{\rho}} \\&\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{rms}}=\sqrt{\frac{3 \times 1.013 \times 10^{5}}{1.25}}=493 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\end{aligned}$

The average kinetic energy of a gas's particles is inversely related to its temperature. As the gas warms, the particles must travel more quickly since their mass is constant.

The average kinetic energy (K) is equal to one half of the mass (m) of each gas molecule times the RMS speed (vrms) squared.

Caitlin told Teddy that she heard that the largest diamond was found yesterday in Africa. What would be the best source of resea

matrenka [14]

B, the Internet.

If Caitlin told Teddy that the largest diamond was found YESTERDAY then it wouldn't be in last month's science magazine. It also wouldn't be able to be in an encyclopedia at the library because there wouldn't have been any time to write, publish, and for the library to get the encyclopedia in one day. Caitlin's parents may not know about Caitlin's claim or about the diamond in the first place. The Internet would likely have an article about the news-breaking diamond as soon as possible.
