(a)
Interpretation:
The expected
Concept introduction:
Generally, the movement of atoms and molecules is denoted in terms of the degree of freedom they have. It is defined as the number of independent parameters required to describe the state of the molecule completely. Thus, the motion of a molecule is given as 1) translation 2) rotational 3) vibration and they can be expressed in terms of degrees of freedom.

- 2. The species identified with each curve in the Maxwell-Boltzmann plot below are: (Assume all gases are at the same temperature.) A = Xe, B = O2, C = Ne, and D = He A = Xe, B = He. C = Ne, and D = O2 A = He, B = Ne, C = O2, and D = Xe A = He, B = O2, C = Ne, and D = Xe Molecular speed (m/s)arrow_forwardOne of the chemical controversies of the nineteenth century concerned the element beryllium (Be). Berzelius originally claimed that beryllium was a trivalent element (forming Be3+ ions) and that it gave an oxide with the formula Be2O3. This resulted in a calculated atomic mass of 13.5 for beryllium. In formulating his periodic table, Mendeleev proposed that beryllium was divalent (forming Be2+ ions) and that it gave an oxide with the formula Be2O3. This assumption gives an atomic mass of 9.0. In 1894, A. Combes (Comptes Rendus 1894, p. 1221) reacted beryllium with the anion C5H7O2and measured the density of the gaseous product. Combess data for two different experiments are as follows: I II Mass 0.2022 g 0.2224 g Volume 22.6 cm3 26.0 cm3 Temperature 13C 17C Pressure 765.2 mm Hg 764.6 mm If beryllium is a divalent metal, the molecular formula of the product will be Be(C5H7O2)2; if it is trivalent, the formula will be Be(C5H7O2)3. Show how Combess data help to confirm that beryllium is a divalent metal.arrow_forwardWhat properties of a nonideal gas do the Vander Waals constants represent?arrow_forward
- The density of liquid oxygen is about 1.4 g/cm3. Vaporized at 00C and 760 torr, this same 1.4 g occupies 980 cm3, an expansion of 700 times the liquids volume.arrow_forwardAt the critical point for carbon dioxide, the substance is very far from being an ideal gas. Prove this statement by calculating the density of an ideal gas in g/cm3 at the conditions of the critical point and comparing it with the experimental value. Compute the experimental value from the fact that a mole of CO2 at its critical point occupies 94 cm3.arrow_forwardUse the approximation 1 x-1 1 x x2 to determine an expression for the virial coefficient C in terms of the van der Waals constants.arrow_forward
- Given that 1.00 mol of neon and 1.00 mol of hydrogen chloride gas are in separate containers at the same temperature and pressure, calculate each of the following ratios. (a) volume Ne/volume HCI (b) density Ne/density HCI (c) average translational energy Ne/average translational energy HCI (d) number of Ne atoms/number of HCl moleculesarrow_forwardScottish physicist W. J. M. Rankine proposed an absolute temperature scale based on the Fahrenheit degree, now called degree Rankine abbreviated R and used by some engineering fields. If a degree Rankine is 5/9 of a degree Kelvin, what is the value of the ideal gas law constant in L. atm/mol. R?arrow_forward
