Re: Chem Lab B/C
What is the specific heat capacity of an ideal gas? Express this value using variables from this equation: PV=m/(mm)RT. Good luck

Re: Chem Lab B/C
This question was on an invitational test: and I am pretty confident though my answer was marked wrong. What do you think:
As a substance undergoes a change from the solid to the liquid phase at constant temperature the average
kinetic energy of its molecules
a) decreases
b) increases
c) remains the same
As a substance undergoes a change from the solid to the liquid phase at constant temperature the average
kinetic energy of its molecules
a) decreases
b) increases
c) remains the same
Re: Chem Lab B/C
C. Temperature is constant during a phase change and is proportional to average kinetic energy of the particles.

Re: Chem Lab B/C
Assuming we're talking about a monatomic ideal gas, you can use Cv = 3/2R and Cp = Cv + R. These come by setting U=3/2nRT equal to Q=nCvT in an isovolumetric process. Going way back, the 3/2 comes from some pretty neat degrees of freedom stuff, but I'm not exactly sure how far I should be going down this deriving rabbit hole.

Re: Chem Lab C
I'd say that's far enough, I should have worded it better, but the main thing was Cv=3/2R.

Re: Chem Lab B/C
I would agree. The key is marked B however, so either they are wrong or we both are.g-omal wrote:C.

Re: Chem Lab C
oof this question marathon is even deader, I'll restart this:
(Source: USNCO 2015, Local #11)
A 2.0 mL sample of a colorless solution, when treated
with a few drops of 2 M hydrochloric acid, forms a white
precipitate which dissolves when the solution is heated to
boiling. The original solution could have contained
which of the following cations?
I. 0.1 M Ag+
II. 0.1 M Pb2+
(A) I only
(B) II only
(C) Either I or II
(D) Neither I nor II

The answer is B because the molecules are more free: this is what distinguishes the liquid phase from the solid phase. Note that temperature is NOT proportional to the average kinetic energy of a particle. Its real definition is slightly more complicated and is related to the properties of a gas thermometer and the zeroth law of thermodynamics. See this chart: [img]http://www.splung.com/heat/images/latentheat/phasechange.png[/img] Some energy is used to overcome the latent heat of fusion and goes into increasing the average kinetic energy of the molecules.
