The kinetic energies and speeds of the two helium atoms are 92.2 keV and 1.49*10^6 m/s

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

An atom a fundamental piece of matter. It is made up of three tiny kinds of particles called subatomic particles such as protons, neutrons, and electron.

Beryllium is a steel-gray metal that is brittle at room temperature.

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy that possesses due to its motion.

A helium atom is an atom of the chemical element helium. Helium is composed of two electrons bound by the electromagnetic force to a nucleus containing two protons along with one or two neutrons depending on the isotope and held together by the strong force.

Let the two helium atom move in opposite direction along the x axis speed V_1 and V_2. Convention of momentum along with the x direction. (P_x, initial = P_x, final) given

0=m_1V_1-m_2V_2 on V_1=V_2

The energy is in the form of the total kinetic energy of the two helium atoms

H_1+H_2=92.2 keV

Because V_1=V_2, it follows that H_1=H_2=46.1 keV therefore

v = \frac{2*H_1}{m_1} = \sqrt{\frac{2*(46.1*10^3eV)(1.602*10^{-19} J/eV)}{(4.004)*(1.6605*10^{-27}kg/m)} } = 1.49*10^6 m/s

V_2=V_1=1.49*10^6 m/s

The kinetic energy of the products is equal to the energy liberated which is 92.2 keV. But let's convert the unit keV to Joules. keV is kiloelectro volt. The conversion that we need is: 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ <span>joule = 1 eV

Kinetic energy = 92.2 keV*(1,000 eV/1 keV)*(</span>1.602×10⁻¹⁹ joule/1 eV) = 5.76×10²³ Joules

From kinetic energy, we can calculate the velocity of each He atom:
KE = 1/2*mv²
5.76×10²³ Joules = 1/2*(4)(v²)
v = 5.367×10¹¹ m/s

Given the reaction: A + B &lt;--&gt; C + D
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

A.) 4.0

Explanation:

The general equilibrium expression looks like this:

K = \frac{[C]^{c} [D]^{d} }{[A]^{a} [B]^{b} }

In this expression,

-----> K = equilibrium constant

-----> uppercase letters = molarity

-----> lowercase letters = balanced equation coefficients

In this case, the molarity's do not need to be raised to any numbers because the coefficients in the balanced equation are all 1. You can find the constant by plugging the given molarities into the equation and simplifying.

K = \frac{[C]^{c} [D]^{d} }{[A]^{a} [B]^{b} }                                       <----- Equilibrium expression

K = \frac{[2 M] [2 M]}{[1 M] [1 M] }                                     <----- Insert molarities

K = \frac{4}{1  }                                                <----- Multiply

K = 4                                                <----- Divide
