Question

Chlorine dioxide, $\mathrm{ClO}_{2}$, is a reddish-yellow gas used in bleaching paper pulp. The average speed of $\mathrm{a} \mathrm{ClO}_{2}$ molecule at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is $306 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. What is the kinetic energy (in joules) of a $\mathrm{ClO}_{2}$ molecule moving at this speed?

Step 1

Given: Molecular mass of ClO2 = 67.45 g/mol 1 mole of ClO2 = 67.45 g 1 molecule of ClO2 = 67.45 g / 6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mol 1 molecule of ClO2 = 1.12 x 10^-22 g Show more…
