The molecules in a sample of oxygen gas are in constant motion. what does an increase in temperature indicate about the movement of the molecules?

An increase in temperature indicates that the molecules of gas speed up.

Explanation:

The molecular kinetic theory states that the average kinetic energy of gas particles (molecules) is proportional to the absolute (Kelvin) temperature of the gas, and all gases at the same temperature have the same average kinetic energy.

Therefore, as the temperature increases so the kinetic energy increases.

It is also known that the kinetic energy is proportional to the squared speed of the particles, therefore the higher the kinetic energy the average speed of the molecules:

the density of gold = 19.3 g/cm3

the relation between density and mass and volume is

density = mass / volume

given :

mass of gold = 13 g

density = 13g / volume = 19.3

volume = 13 /19.3 = 0.67 cm^3

thus volume of gold nugget = 0.67 cm^3
