mechanism becomes energetically allowed. The IE of Li is 519 kJ/mol and the
EA of F is 328 kJ/mol.
HW Problem 4
HW Problem 10
2. Do Ar atoms move faster or slower than hydrogen molecules at the same
temperature? (slower) By what factor do the root mean square speeds
differ? (201/2)
Independent 3. Calculate the root mean square speed of a mole of hexane
(MM = 86.175g/mol) and a mole of methane (MM=16.042g/mol) at 273 K.
Calculate the average kinetic energy of a methane molecule and a hexane
molecule per mole of each at 273 K. Calculate the average kinetic energy of
a hexane and a methane molecule at 273 K.
Independent 4. In an experiment on gases, you are studying a 1.00L sample
of hydrogen gas at 20oC and 2.40atm. You heat the gas until the root mean
square speed of the molecules of the sample has been doubled. What will be
the final pressure of the gas?
5. From the graph of the distribution of speeds, find the location that
represent the most probable speed of the molecules at each temperature.
What happens to the percentage of molecules having the most probable
speed as the temperature increases?

6. Suggest, giving reasons, which substance in each of the following pairs is


likely to have the higher normal melting point: a) HCl or NaCl b) C2H5OC2H5 or
C4H9OH c)C2H4 or CH3OH
