Capitolo 5, Problema 89
The graph shows the distribution of molecular velocities for two different molecules (A and B) at the same temperature. Which molecule has the higher molar mass? Which molecule has the higher rate of effusion?
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the two curves on the graph. The curve with the peak at a lower velocity represents molecule A, and the curve with the peak at a higher velocity represents molecule B.
Recall that at the same temperature, lighter molecules move faster than heavier molecules. Therefore, the molecule with the higher peak velocity (molecule B) has a lower molar mass.
Conversely, the molecule with the lower peak velocity (molecule A) has a higher molar mass.
According to Graham's law of effusion, the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass. Therefore, the molecule with the lower molar mass (molecule B) will have a higher rate of effusion.
Summarize the findings: Molecule A has the higher molar mass, and molecule B has the higher rate of effusion.

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.
Molecular Velocity Distribution
The molecular velocity distribution describes how the speeds of molecules in a gas vary at a given temperature. It is typically represented by a graph showing the number of molecules at different velocities. The shape of the distribution indicates the average speed and the spread of molecular speeds, which is influenced by the mass of the molecules.

Velocity Distributions
Graham's Law of Effusion
Graham's Law states that the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar mass. This means that lighter molecules effuse faster than heavier ones. In the context of the question, the molecule with the higher average velocity in the distribution graph will have a lower molar mass and thus a higher rate of effusion.

Kinetic Molecular Theory
Kinetic Molecular Theory explains the behavior of gases in terms of particle motion. It posits that gas molecules are in constant random motion and that temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of these molecules. This theory helps to understand why lighter molecules move faster than heavier ones at the same temperature, affecting their velocity distribution and effusion rates.
