What is the ratio of the average kinetic energy of a so2 molecule to that of an o2 molecule in a mixture of two gases? what is the ratio of the root mean square speeds, urms, of the two gases?

1. The kinetic energy of a system is a factor of temperature only. So, since there is no mention of temperatures in the problem, we can safely assume that they have the same temperature. So, that means the ratio would be 1.

2. The formula for rms is

rms=√3RT/M
So, the ratio would be:
ratio = √M of O₂ / M of SO₂, where M is molar mass
Ratio = √32/√64 = 0.71

Answerit curves up and levels out.explanationwe assume that the container contains absolutely no ammonia to begin with as it states that "nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas" react to "produce ammonia."at dynamic equilibrium, the product and reactant concentrations are equal.this means that, starting from a concentration of zero, [nh₃] must curve "up" from zero and then level out to a constant concentration.
