At what temperature is the average speed of air particles the highest?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Law Incorporation [45]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Air is a mixture of roughly 80% nitrogen and 20% oxygen. The diatomic molecules of each type have a Maxwell-Boltzman distribution of velocities.

From the kinetic theory of gases the molecules kinetic energy will depend on the temperature.

Let’s use 300 K as room temperature : The nitrogen molecules have a root mean square velocity ( VRMS ) of 353 m/s. The average for all of the molecules is 347 m/s.

In general in gases of diatomic molecules the speed of sound is 68% of the molecular  VRMS .

Why are relative atomic masses on the periodic tables not whole numbers?
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

They are averages.

Explanation:

atomic numbers on periodic tables are derived from the average value of all the isotopes of the element. So being averages they are sometimes not integers.

Vinegar is a solution of acetic acid, CH3COOH, dissolved in water. A 5.54-g sample of vinegar was neutralized by 30.10 mL of 0.1
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

3.26 % of vinegar is acetic acid

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the sample = 5.54 grams

Volume of NaOH = 30.10 mL

Molarity of NaOH = 0.100M

Step 2: The balanced equation

CH3COOH + NaOH → CH3COONa + H2O

Step 3: Calculate moles NaOH

Moles NaOH = volume * molarity

Moles NaOH = 0.03010 L * 0.100M

Moles NaOH = 0.00301 moles NaOH

Step 4: Calculate moles CH3COOH

For 1 mol NaOH we need 1 mol CH3COOH

For 0.00301 moles NaOH we nee 0.00301 moles CH3COOH

Step 5: Calculate mass CH3COOH

Mass CH3COOH = moles CH3COOH * molar mass CH3COOH

Mass CH3COOH = 0.00301 moles * 60.05 g/mol

Mass CH3COOH = 0.1808 grams

Step 6: Calculate percent by weight of acetic acid

Mass % = ( 0.1808 / 5.54 ) *100%

Mass % = 3.26 %

3.26 % of vinegar is acetic acid
