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 .

As the temperature is increased how does the substance move?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

The movement of substances may occur across a semi‐permeable membrane (such as the plasma membrane). A semi‐permeable membrane allows some substances to pass through, but not others.

How many moles of oxygen are consumed in the complete combustion of 1.60 moles of benzene, c6h6?
My name is Ann [436]

In the complete combustion of 1.60 moles of benzene, C6H6, 12 moles of oxygen, O2, is consumed.

Combustion is defined as the process of burning something. In chemistry, combustion refers to the chemical process between a fuel and an oxidant, usually oxygen to produce heat and light in the form of flame.

In a complete combustion, oxygen is sufficient to react with any hydrocarbons to produce carbon dioxide and water.

Balancing the combustion reaction of benzene, we have:

2C6H6 + 15 O2 = 12CO2 + 6H2O

Based on the balanced combustion reaction above, 2 moles of benzene requires 15 moles of oxygen to have a complete combustion.

If we have 1.60 moles C6H6,

moles O2 = mole ratio x mole of benzene

moles O2 = (15 moles O2/2 moles C6H6) x 1.60 moles C6H6

moles O2 = 12
