Interpretation:
The expected
Concept introduction:
Generally, the movement of atoms and molecules is denoted in terms of the degree of freedom they have. It is defined as the number of independent parameters required to describe the state of the molecule completely. Thus, the motion of a molecule is given as 1) translation 2) rotational 3) vibration and they can be expressed in terms of degrees of freedom.

- Why is nitrogen a good choice for the study of ideal gas behavior around room temperature?arrow_forwardOne of the chemical controversies of the nineteenth century concerned the element beryllium (Be). Berzelius originally claimed that beryllium was a trivalent element (forming Be3+ ions) and that it gave an oxide with the formula Be2O3. This resulted in a calculated atomic mass of 13.5 for beryllium. In formulating his periodic table, Mendeleev proposed that beryllium was divalent (forming Be2+ ions) and that it gave an oxide with the formula Be2O3. This assumption gives an atomic mass of 9.0. In 1894, A. Combes (Comptes Rendus 1894, p. 1221) reacted beryllium with the anion C5H7O2and measured the density of the gaseous product. Combess data for two different experiments are as follows: I II Mass 0.2022 g 0.2224 g Volume 22.6 cm3 26.0 cm3 Temperature 13C 17C Pressure 765.2 mm Hg 764.6 mm If beryllium is a divalent metal, the molecular formula of the product will be Be(C5H7O2)2; if it is trivalent, the formula will be Be(C5H7O2)3. Show how Combess data help to confirm that beryllium is a divalent metal.arrow_forwardThe density of liquid oxygen is about 1.4 g/cm3. Vaporized at 00C and 760 torr, this same 1.4 g occupies 980 cm3, an expansion of 700 times the liquids volume.arrow_forward
