Concept explainers
Interpretation:
It is to be identified whether heat is produced by the collision of gas molecules, or the collision of gas molecules occurswhen a gas is heated at constant volume..
Concept introduction:
The kinetic molecular theory is the key to understanding of the behavior of gases on the basis of kinetic energy. This kinetic molecular theoryis based on four assumptions that describe the behavior of gases. They are as follows:
The molecules of a gas arelooselypacked, and so, the volume occupied by its molecules is negligible.
The molecules of gases move ina random manner, on a straight path, and collide with external materials and one another without the loss of energy, that is, elastic collision.
Their molecules do not attract or repel each other.
The average kinetic energy of gas molecules is in direct proportionality with the absolute temperature of the molecules. Therefore,

- Liquid oxygen was first prepared by heating potassium chlorate, KClO3, in a closed vessel to obtain oxygen at high pressure. The oxygen was cooled until it liquefied. 2KClO3(s)2KCl(s)+3O2(g) If 171 g of potassium chlorate reacts in a 2.70-L vessel, which was initially evacuated, what pressure of oxygen will be attained when the temperature is finally cooled to 25C? Use the preceding chemical equation and ignore the volume of solid product.arrow_forwardA 275-mL sample of CO gas is collected over water at 31C and 755 mmHg. If the temperature of the gas collection apparatus rises to 39C, what is the new volume of the sample?
