plzz help..plzz a small amount of gas is let into a large evacuated chamber. a)How much of the chamber gets filled with the gas ? b)What property of the gas helps it to do so ?

OpenStudy (abb0t):

a.) all of it. what do you think is the answer for \(b\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (abb0t):

omg. look at your book and take a guess, dude!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am nt gud @ dis..plz say

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@abb0t ??

OpenStudy (abb0t):

It is against the code of conduct to give answers, BUT i can help you by telling you what holds things together as a hint: intermolecular forces.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohk

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Can you answer \(b\) now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm..is it kinetic energy?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@abb0t ..is it??

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Well, technically yes. Kinetic energy is a factor, but I think you need to explain more about kinetic energy and intermolecular forces. What does it mean for the molecules when they are in gas phase? And how does kinetic energy play a role in their movement....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

particles move freely due to kinatic energy

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Yes. They \(\sf \color{red}{move}\) more freely due to the random motion. Correct. So, if they are randomly moving around, they molecules must have weak ___________ ? And therefore, that also explains your answer to \(a\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dey high temp.

OpenStudy (abb0t):

No. You're not even talking about temperature here! i____________ f_____.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

intermolucular force

OpenStudy (abb0t):

YES. very weak intermolecular forces.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohk..thnx alot
