Which is NOT an assumption of the kinetic moleuclar theory?
-
Collisions between gas particles are elastic
-
All the gas particles in a sample have the same velocity
-
A gas particle is not signifcantly attracted or repelled by other gas particles
-
All gases at a given temperature have the same average kinetic energy
Correct Answer
A. All the gas particles in a sample have the same velocityExplanation
The kinetic molecular theory assumes that collisions between gas particles are elastic, meaning that no energy is lost during the collision. It also assumes that a gas particle is not significantly attracted or repelled by other gas particles, meaning that there are no intermolecular forces at play. Additionally, the theory states that all gases at a given temperature have the same average kinetic energy, which is directly proportional to the temperature. However, the assumption that all gas particles in a sample have the same velocity is not part of the kinetic molecular theory. In reality, gas particles in a sample have a range of velocities due to their different masses and energies.Rate this question:

A sealed flask contains neon, argon, and krypton gas. If the total pressure in the flask is 3.872 atm, the partial pressure of Ne, is 0.435 atm, and the partial pressure of Kr is 1.613 atm, what is the partial pressure of Ar?
-
2.048 atm
-
1.734 atm
-
1556 atm
-
1318 atm
Correct Answer
A. 1.734 atmExplanation
The total pressure in the flask is the sum of the partial pressures of each gas. Therefore, the partial pressure of Ar can be calculated by subtracting the partial pressures of Ne and Kr from the total pressure. 3.872 atm - 0.435 atm - 1.613 atm = 1.824 atm. Therefore, the partial pressure of Ar is 1.824 atm, which is closest to the given answer of 1.734 atm.Rate this question:

Hydrogen and nitrogen react as shown to form ammonia (NH3). What is true of this reaction?
-
3 ammonia molecules are formed, with zero molecules remaining
-
2 ammonia molecules are formed, with 2 hydrogen molecules remaining
-
6 ammonia molecules are formed, with zero molecules remaining
-
2 ammonia molecules are formed , with 2 nitrogen molecules remaining
Correct Answer
A. 2 ammonia molecules are formed , with 2 nitrogen molecules remainingExplanation
In the given reaction, hydrogen and nitrogen react to form ammonia (NH3). The balanced equation for this reaction is:
N2 + 3H2 -> 2NH3
From the balanced equation, it can be seen that for every 1 molecule of nitrogen (N2), 2 molecules of ammonia (NH3) are formed. Therefore, if 2 ammonia molecules are formed, there must be 2 nitrogen molecules remaining. Hence, the answer "2 ammonia molecules are formed, with 2 nitrogen molecules remaining" is correct.Rate this question:

Which does not affect the viscosity of a liquid?
-
Intermolecular attractive forces
-
Size and shape of molecules
-
Temperature of the liquid
-
Capillary action
Correct Answer
A. Capillary actionExplanation
Capillary action refers to the ability of a liquid to flow against gravity in a narrow tube or capillary. It is caused by the cohesive forces between the liquid molecules and the adhesive forces between the liquid and the tube. However, viscosity is a measure of a liquid's resistance to flow and is primarily influenced by intermolecular attractive forces, the size and shape of molecules, and the temperature of the liquid. Therefore, capillary action does not affect the viscosity of a liquid.Rate this question:

Under what conditions is diamond most likely to form?
-
Temperatures > 5000 K and pressures < 100 atm
-
Temperatures > 6000 K and pressures < 25 atm
-
Temperatures < 3500 K and pressures > 10^5 atm
-
Temperatures < 4500 K and pressures < 10 atm
Correct Answer
A. Temperatures < 3500 K and pressures > 10^5 atmExplanation
Diamond is most likely to form under conditions of high pressure and low temperature. This is because diamond is a high-pressure, high-temperature phase of carbon. At temperatures below 3500 K and pressures above 10^5 atm, the carbon atoms are able to arrange themselves in a crystal lattice structure, forming diamond.Rate this question:

Find the point on the graph at which carbon exists in 3 phases: solid graphite, solid diamond, and liquid carbon. What are the approximate temperature and pressure at that point?
-
4700 K and 10^6 atm
-
3000 K and 10^3 atm
-
5100 K and 10^5 atm
-
3500 K and 80 atm
Correct Answer
A. 3500 K and 80 atmExplanation
At the point where carbon exists in 3 phases (solid graphite, solid diamond, and liquid carbon), the approximate temperature is 3500 K and the pressure is 80 atm.Rate this question:

In what form or forms does carbon exist at 6000 K and 105 atm?
-
Diamond only
-
Liquid carbon only
-
Diamond and liquid carbon
-
Liquid carbon and graphite
Correct Answer
A. Liquid carbon onlyExplanation
At 6000 K and 105 atm, carbon exists in the form of liquid carbon only. This is because at such high temperature and pressure, carbon undergoes a phase transition from solid diamond to liquid carbon. The conditions are not suitable for the existence of graphite, and diamond does not exist in a liquid state. Therefore, the correct answer is liquid carbon only.Rate this question:
