Five samples of argon gas are described in the table below. Rank the samples in order of increasing average kinetic energy of the atoms in them. That is, select "1" next to the sample in which the argon atoms have the lowest average kinetic energy. Select "2" next to the sample in which the have the next lowest average kinetic energy, and so on. amount 2.8 mol 2.4 mol 1.6 mol 1.3 mol 2.6 mol sample pressure temperature 2.6 atm 2.1 atm 1.8 atm 1.4 atm 2.8 atm -22, °C -1. °C -9, °C -5. °C 8. °C average kinetic energy of atoms in sample 1 (lowest) 2 3 4 5 (highest) S
Thermochemistry
Thermochemistry can be considered as a branch of thermodynamics that deals with the connections between warmth, work, and various types of energy, formed because of different synthetic and actual cycles. Thermochemistry describes the energy changes that occur as a result of reactions or chemical changes in a substance.
Exergonic Reaction
The term exergonic is derived from the Greek word in which ‘ergon’ means work and exergonic means ‘work outside’. Exergonic reactions releases work energy. Exergonic reactions are different from exothermic reactions, the one that releases only heat energy during the course of the reaction. So, exothermic reaction is one type of exergonic reaction. Exergonic reaction releases work energy in different forms like heat, light or sound. For example, a glow stick releases light making that an exergonic reaction and not an exothermic reaction since no heat is released. Even endothermic reactions at very high temperature are exergonic.

| amount | pressure | temperature | average kinetic energy of atoms in sample |
|--------|----------|-------------|-------------------------------------------|
| 2.8 mol | 2.6 atm | -22 °C | [Dropdown options 1-5] |
| 2.4 mol | 2.1 atm | -1 °C | [Dropdown options 1-5] |
| 1.6 mol | 1.8 atm | 5 °C | [Dropdown options 1-5] |
| 1.3 mol | 4.3 atm | -5 °C | [Dropdown options 1-5] |
| 2.6 mol | 2.8 atm | 8 °C | [Dropdown options 1-5] |
**Instruction for Use:**
Select the appropriate rank for each sample based on the kinetic energy of its atoms, considering the temperature of each sample. Higher temperatures generally correlate with higher kinetic energy for the gas atoms.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F9ce1fa32-745b-446a-832b-1aa8581f8e40%2Fcc2e27a4-6103-4f85-a6d2-16d90b704be2%2Fma0tqde_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
