Answer:

Explain the difference between total and average molecular kinetic energy of a gas contained in a box. As an average K.E. of the particles increases, the object's temperature increases. Total Kinetic Energy is the sum of energy. Explain how a liquid thermometer measure temperature.

The total kinetic energy of a body or a system is equal to the sum of the kinetic energies resulting from each type of motion.

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

D) 1/2

Explanation:

Using Ideal gas equation for same mole of gas as

$\frac {{P_1}\times {V_1}}{T_1}=\frac {{P_2}\times {V_2}}{T_2}$

Given,

P₂ = 4P₁

T₂ = 2T₁

Using above equation as:

$\frac {{P_1}\times {V_1}}{T_1}=\frac {{P_2}\times {V_2}}{T_2}$

$\frac {{P_1}\times {V_1}}{T_1}=\frac {{4\times P_1}\times {V_2}}{2\times T_1}$

$V_2=\frac{1}{2}\times V_1$

<u>The volume change by half of the original.</u>

28) Consider a 21.0 mL sample of pure lemon juice with a citric acid (H3C6H5O7) concentration of 0.30M. a. How many moles of cir

Damm [24]

<h3>#a. Answer:</h3>

0.0063 mole

<h3>Solution and explanation:</h3>

We are given 21.0 mL citric acid with a concentration of 0.30 M

Part a requires we calculate the number of moles of citric acid.

We need to know how to calculate the concentration of a solution;

Concentration or molarity = Number of moles ÷ Volume of the solution

Thus;

Number of moles = Concentration × Volume

Hence;

Moles = 0.30 M × 0.021 L

= 0.0063 mole

<h3>#b. Answer</h3>

1.21 g citric acid

<h3>Solution</h3>

Part B

We are required to calculate the mass of citric acid in the sample

Number of moles of a compound is calculated by dividing its mass by its molar mass.

Molar mass of Citric acid = 192.124 g/mol

Moles of citric acid = 0.0063 mole

But; Mass = Number of moles × Molar mass

Mass of citric acid = 0.0063 mol × 192.124 g/mol

= 1.21 g citric acid

<h3>#c. Answer</h3>

4.167 mL

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Part C

We are required to determine the initial volume before dilution;

We have;

Initial concentration (M1) = 0.30 M

Final volume (V2) = 250 mL or 0.25 L

Final concentration (M2) = 0.0050 M

Using the dilution formula we can get the initial volume;

Therefore, since; M1V1 =M2V2

V1 = M2V2÷M1

= (0.0050 × 0.25)÷ 0.30

= 0.004167 L or

= 4.167 mL

Therefore, the initial volume of the solution is 4.167 mL

Explain what happens to the light ray when above and below the line are both water

IceJOKER [234]

<>"Refraction is the bending of the path of a light wave as it passes from one material into another material. The refraction occurs at the boundary and is caused by a change in the speed of the light wave upon crossing the boundary. The tendency of a ray of light to bend one direction or another is dependent upon whether the light wave speeds up or slows down upon crossing the boundary. The speed of a light wave is dependent upon the optical density of the material through which it moves. For this reason, the direction that the path of a light wave bends depends on whether the light wave is traveling from a more dense (slow) medium to a less dense (fast) medium or from a less dense medium to a more dense medium. In this part of Lesson 1, we will investigate this topic of the direction of bending of a light wave.

Predicting the Direction of Bending

Recall the Marching Soldiers analogy discussed earlier in this lesson. The analogy served as a model for understanding the boundary behavior of light waves. As discussed, the analogy is often illustrated in a Physics classroom by a student demonstration. In the demonstration, a line of students (representing a light wave) marches towards a masking tape (representing the boundary) and slows down upon crossing the boundary (representative of entering a new medium). The direction of the line of students changes upon crossing the boundary. The diagram below depicts this change in direction for a line of students who slow down upon crossing the boundary.

On the diagram, the direction of the students is represented by two arrows known as rays. The direction of the students as they approach the boundary is represented by an incident ray (drawn in blue). And the direction of the students after they cross the boundary is represented by a refracted ray (drawn in red). Since the students change direction (i.e., refract), the incident ray and the refracted ray do not point in the same direction. Also, note that a perpendicular line is drawn to the boundary at the point where the incident ray strikes the boundary (i.e., masking tape). A line drawn perpendicular to the boundary at the point of incidence is known as a normal line. Observe that the refracted ray lies closer to the normal line than the incident ray does. In such an instance as this, we would say that the path of the students has bent towards the normal. We can extend this analogy to light and conclude that:

Light Traveling from a Fast to a Slow Medium

If a ray of light passes across the boundary from a material in which it travels fast into a material in which travels slower, then the light ray will bend towards the normal line.

The above principle applies to light passing from a material in which it travels fast across a boundary and into a material in which it travels slowly. But what if light wave does the opposite? What if a light wave passes from a material in which it travels slowly across a boundary and into a material in which it travels fast? The answer to this question can be answered if we reconsider the Marching Soldier analogy. Now suppose that the each individual student in the train of students speeds up once they cross the masking tape. The first student to reach the boundary will speed up and pull ahead of the other students. When the second student reaches the boundary, he/she will also speed up and pull ahead of the other students who have not yet reached the boundary. This continues for each consecutive student, causing the line of students to now be traveling in a direction further from the normal. This is depicted in the diagram below.

Nitric monoxide (NO) reacts with oxygen gas to form nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), a dark brown gas. If 5.895 mol of NO is mixed with 2

Schach [20]

Answer:

Limiting reactant: O2

grams NO2 produced = 230.276 g NO2

grams of NO unused = 26.67 gNO

Explanation:

2NO + O2 --> 2NO2

Step 1: Determine the molar ratio NO:O2

molar ratio NO:O2 = 5.895: 2.503 = 2.35

stoichiometric molar ratio NO:O2 = 2:1

So, O2 is the limiting reactant.

Step2: Determine the grams of NO2:

?g NO2 = moles O2 x (2moles NO2/1 mol O2) x (MM NO2/ 1 mol NO2) = 2.503 x 2 x 46 = 230.276 g NO2

Step 3: Determine the amount of excess reagent unreacted

moles excess NO reacted = moles O2 x (2 moles NO/1 mol O2) = 2.503 x 2 = 5.006 moles NO reacted

moles NO unreacted = total moles NO - moles NO reacted = 5.895-5.006 =0.889 moles NO unreacted

mass NO unreacted = moles NO unreacted x MM NO = 0.889 x 30 =26.67 g NO unreacted
