Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The temperature, masses, average velocities, and average kinetic energy of the three kinds of gases should be described along with similarities and differences and how are these properties related should be identified.
Concept introduction:
Gas is a collection of a very large number of very small size (10−10m ) particle. The volume of gas particles is very smaller than the volume of the container in which it is placed.
The kinetic theory of gas explains the behavior of gas based on the assumption gas as made up of a very small particle moving continuously with high speed. The force of interaction between atom or molecules of gas is short range force. A collision between gas particle and wall of the container is the relation between pressure, temperature, volume no of moles of gas.
(1)According to the kinetic theory of gases, the average kinetic energy for all gas at the
Given temperature T is same.

- 62 Ammonium dinitramide (ADN), NH4N(NO2)2, was considered as a possible replacement for aluminium chloride as the oxidizer in the solid fuel booster rockets used to launch the space shuttle. When detonated by a spark, AND rapidly decomposes to produce a gaseous mixture of N2,O2, and H2O. (This is not a combustion reaction. The ADN is the only reactant.) The reaction releases a lot of heat, so the gases are initially formed at high temperature and pressure. The thrust of the rocket results mainly from the expansion of this gas mixture. Suppose a 2.3-kg sample of ADN is denoted and decomposes completely to give N2,O2, and H2O. If the resulting gas mixture expands until it reaches a temperature of 100°C and a pressure of 1.00 atm, what volume will it occupy? Is your answer consistent with the proposed use of ADN as a rocket fuel?arrow_forwardHow does hydraulic fracturing differ from previously used techniques for the recovery of natural gas from the earth?arrow_forwardPyruvic acid, HC3H3O3, is involved in cell metabolism. It can be assayed for (that is, the amount of it determined) by using a yeast enzyme. The enzyme makes the following reaction go to completion: HC3H3O3(aq)C2H4O(aq)+CO2(g) If a sample containing pyruvic acid gives 21.2 mL of carbon dioxide gas, CO2, at 349 mmHg and 30C, how many grams of pyruvic acid are there in the sample?arrow_forward
