Calculate the rms speed of an oxygen gas molecule, o2, at 29.0 ∘c . express your answer numerically in meters per second.

The rms speed of an oxygen gas molecule : 485.17 m/s

Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT) states that a gas consists of molecules that move at a constant and random speed. The collisions between molecules are perfectly elastic so that no energy is wasted.

The molecules move in straight lines until they collide

Energy because this motion is expressed as Kinetic energy (KE) which can be formulated as:

The average kinetic energy value is only affected by temperature changes. The higher the temperature, the average kinetic energy of the molecule increases

This molecule is very small when compared to the distance between molecules, so the volume of gas contains mostly empty space

Gas particles move randomly (both speed and direction , as vector)

Average velocities of gases can be expressed as root-mean-square averages. (V rms)

R = gas constant, T = temperature, Mm = molar mass of the gas particles

From the question

R= 8.314 J/mol K

T = 29 + 273 = 302 K

Mm = molar mass O₂ = 2.16 = 32 g/mol = 32.10-3 kg/mol

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
