Answer:
Xenon atoms will have a temperature of 308.25 °C
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Molar mass of Cl2 = 70.9 g/mol
Molar mass of Xenon = 131.29 g/mol
Temperatue of Cl2 molecules = 41 °C = 314 K
Step 2: Calculate temperature
The average speed of a gas particle is given by v = √(8RT/πM).
We can simplify this to:
T1/M1 = T2/M2
⇒ with T1 = The temperature of Cl2 molecules = 314 K
⇒ with M1 = the molar mass of Cl2 = 70.9 g/mol
⇒ with T2= The temperature of Xenon = TO BE DETERMINED
⇒ with M2 = The molar mass of Xenon = 131.29 g/mol
314/70.9 = T2/131.29
T2 = 581.4 Kelvin
581.4 Kelvin = 308.25 °C
Xenon atoms will have a temperature of 308.25 °C
