The graph shows the distribution of energy in the particles of two gas samples at different temperatures, T1 and T2. A, B, and C

represent individual particles.
A graph is shown with two inverted graph curves running close to each other. One of the curves labeled T1 is slightly more spread out than the other labeled T2. The x axis of the graph has the title Kinetic Energy. The y axis of the graph has the title Number of Particles. A vertical line perpendicular to the x axis is shown. This vertical line is labeled Activation Energy. A point labeled B is shown on the right hand side of the vertical line. A point labeled A is shown in the lower left side of the vertical line. A particle labeled C is shown in the upper left side of the vertical line.

Based on the graph, which of the following statements is likely to be true?
Particle A and C are more likely to participate in the reaction than particle B.
Most of the particles of the two gases have very high speeds.
A fewer number of particles of gas at T1 are likely to participate in the reaction than the gas at T2.
The average speed of gas particles at T2 is lower than the average speed of gas particles at T1.

Answer:

  • The average velocity of gas molecules at T₂ is less than the average velocity of gas molecules at T₁.

Explanation:

Particles A and C appear aligned vertically, suggesting they share the same kinetic energy. Given that both are positioned to the left of particle B, it indicates that A and C possess lesser kinetic energy than B.

The likelihood of a particle engaging in a reaction is directly proportional to its kinetic energy, meaning that particle B is more prone to react compared to A and C. Thus, the first statement is incorrect.

The graph resembles a bell curve, demonstrating a mixture of many molecules with low and high kinetic energy. Therefore, one cannot conclude that most particles in both gases have high velocities. As a result, the second statement is also incorrect.

Examining the higher kinetic energy values (to the right of the curve), the line for T₁ exceeds that for T₂, indicating that more molecules possess high kinetic energy at T₁ compared to T₂.

Conversely, for lower kinetic energy values (to the left of the curve), T₂'s line is above T₁'s, which implies that at T₂ there are more molecules with low kinetic energy than at T₁.

Thus, the observations from the previous two paragraphs suggest that the average kinetic energy of gas particles at T₂ is lower than the average kinetic energy of particles at T₁.

Since average speed is proportional to the square root of temperature, the relationship that applies to average kinetic energy equally pertains to average speed, leading us to conclude that the last statement holds true: "The average speed of gas particles at T₂ is lower than at T₁.".

Additionally, given that there are more gas molecules at T₁ with higher kinetic energy compared to those at T₂, it indicates that gas particles at T₁ are more likely to react than those at T₂, marking the third statement as incorrect.

An air sample consists of oxygen and nitrogen gas as major components. It also contains carbon dioxide and traces of some rare g
Anarel [2989]

Explanation:

A mixture refers to a substance that contains two or more different kinds of substances that are combined physically.

For instance, air is a mixture that contains oxygen, nitrogen, and other gases.

A heterogeneous mixture is characterized by uneven distribution of solute particles in the solvent.

For example, sand suspended in water is a heterogeneous mixture.

Conversely, a homogeneous mixture is one where the solute particles are uniformly distributed in a solvent.

A homogeneous mixture appears as a clear solution.

For instance, when salt dissolves in water, it forms a homogeneous mixture.

A solution is defined as a mixture of two or more substances combined together.

A compound consists of two or more different elements chemically bonded together in a specific mass ratio.

An element is the simplest form of a substance that comprises only one type of atom.

For example, a piece of sodium is composed solely of sodium atoms.

Conversely, a pure substance refers to a material consisting of just one type of molecule or atom.

For example, O_{2}, N_{2} etc are considered pure substances.

Thus, it can be concluded that the air sample can be described using the terms:

  • pure chemical substance.
  • heterogeneous mixture.
  • mixture.

How much volume (in cm3) is gained by a person who gains 11.1 lbs of pure fat?
Anarel [2989]

The density of human fat is 0.918 g/cm^{3}. The mass of the pure fat is 11.1 lbs.

First, convert the mass from pounds to grams as follows:

1 lb=453.592 g

Thus,

11.1 lb\rightarrow 11.1\times 453.592 g=5034.875 g

Density is defined as mass per unit volume, meaning volume can be calculated as:

V=\frac{m}{d}

By substituting the values,

V=\frac{5034.875 g}{0.918 g/cm^{3}}=5484.61 cm^{3}

Consequently, the volume gained by the individual will be 5484.61 cm^{3}.

A 19.3-g mixture of oxygen and argon is found to occupy a volume of 16.2 l when measured at 675.9 mmhg and 43.4oc. what is the p
KiRa [2933]
<span>The partial pressure of oxygen is 438.0 mmHg. The ideal gas equation is expressed as PV = nRT where P represents pressure, V denotes volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant (8.3144598 (L*kPa)/(K*mol)), and T signifies absolute temperature. To convert from Celsius to Kelvin, we have 43.4 + 273.15 = 316.55 K. For the pressure conversion from mmHg to kPa: 675.9 mmHg * 0.133322387415 = 90.11260165 kPa. When solving for n using the ideal gas equation, we derive n = PV / (RT) which provides n = 90.11260165 kPa * 16.2 L / (8.3144598 (L*kPa)/(K*mol) * 316.55 K)= 1459.824147 L*kPa / 2631.94225 (L*kPa)/(mol), resulting in n = 0.554656603 mol. Thus, we have 0.554656603 moles of gas particles. Next, we determine the contribution from oxygen. The atomic weight of oxygen is 15.999 g/mol, while argon is 39.948 g/mol, and the molar mass of O2 is 31.998 g/mol. We establish the relationships where M is the number of moles of O2, and 0.554656603 - M gives the number of moles of Ar. Setting up the equation: M * 31.998 + (0.554656603 - M) * 39.948 = 19.3, we solve for M resulting in 0.359424148 moles of oxygen out of 0.554656603 total moles. This leads to oxygen providing 0.359424148 / 0.554656603 = 0.648012024 or 64.8012024% of the total pressure of 675.9 mmHg. The partial pressure therefore calculates to 675.9 * 0.648012024 = 437.9913271 mmHg, rounded to 438.0 mmHg</span>

Select the atoms or ions drawn with valid Lewis dot structures. A) A carbon has a dot on top, right, bottom and to the left.a ni
KiRa [2933]
Answer:

B, C

Explanation:

The Lewis dot structures that are valid are for B and C.

Regarding A;

The Lewis representation of carbon is correct. Each of the four dots symbolizes the four valence electrons.

However, the nitrogen with a single dot above, to the left, and below and a -3 charge isincorrect. For it to have a -3 charge, it must possess 8 Lewis dots (two on each side).

The nitrogen showing four dots (on top, right, bottom and left) is incorrect.

In B;

An oxygen having two dots positioned above and below with one dot on both sides is correct , as the 6 dots indicate oxygen's valence electrons.

In C;

A carbon shows two dots at each position and has a charge of +4. This is correct because the charge reflects that it has gained four electrons giving it 8 valence electrons.

In D;

An oxygen shows two dots above, to the left and below, with a charge of -2. This is incorrect as not all Lewis dots are present. Two are missing.
