Experimental observations on the behavior of gases can be explained by a simple theoretical model known as the kinetic molecular theory, which is used to explain the laws of gases determined experimentally.

This theory is based on a series of postulates. <em>One of the postulates that could explain why in a sample of oxygen at constant temperature the kinetic energy of all the balls remains constant is: </em>

  • <u>Collisions between gas particles or collisions with the vessel walls are perfectly elastic. None of the energy of a gas particle is lost when it collides with another particle or with the walls of the vessel. </u>

Explanation: If the oxygen particles lose energy when colliding with each other or with the walls of the container then their kinetic energy will decrease with time. This is analogous to a bouncing ball. When dropping a ball vertically, it will be observed that with each rebound it will reach a lower height, which is due to the loss of kinetic energy by friction with the ground or with the air that surrounds it.

Where are the noble gases on the periodic table and what characteristics do they have?
OlgaM077 [116]
<span>the noble gases are those who occupy the eighth group of the periodic table and are so called because having the complete valence shell do not need to form bonds with other atoms and are thus in atomic form ...
</span>
The noble gases (also called rare gases) are of the inert gases that constitute the eighteenth [1] group of the periodic table of the elements, ie, the right-most column. They consist of atoms with electron shells full. It includes the following elements: helium neon argon krypton xenon radon Ununoctium <span>Sometimes they (particularly helium) are located together with other gases (mostly nitrogen and methane) into endogenous sources; helium of endogenous origin comes from the decomposition of radioactive elements present in the subsurface that emit α particles (ie ions He2 +): These oxidized species present in the soil and become elio.I atoms of the noble gases are all monatomic gas, not easily liquefiable, present the atmosphere in different percentages; the most common is argon which is approximately the 0.932%.</span>

Can someone answer these two questions for me ill give brainliest
gladu [14]
Answer:
1. No
2.a. Nothing will happen to figure 1 as both the sides have 30 N.
2.b. The force with 30 N will push 10 N because 10 N is less force than 30 N.

A beaker contains a mixture of sand and small pebbles. what kind of mixture is this?
melomori [17]
Answer is: a beaker contains <span>heterogeneous mixture.

</span>

A heterogeneous mixture<span> have compounds that remain separate in the sample.</span>

Heterogeneous mixture is not uniform in composition (in this mixture different sand and small pebbles), but proportions of its components (in this mixture particles of different colors and size) vary throughout the sample.

Serial dilution problem: Six test tubes are placed in a rack. To each tube add 4 mL of saline solution. Now to the first tube ad
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

The dilution factor of protein in tube # 4 is 125. Molar concentration is 0.0088 M protein

Explanation:

The dilution factor indicates how many times is more concentrated a main solution in relationship with a diluted solution. In this case, the main solution is in tube #1. For calculating the dilution factor and molar concentration in tube #4 we need the main solution concentration which comes from next equation:

Initial volume * initial concentration = final volume * final concentration

0.5 mL * 10M = 5mL * final concentration

1.1 M = final concentration = main solution concentration

Applying the same equation for remain tubes we have 0.22 M for tube #2, 0.044 M for tube # 4 and 0.0088 for tube # 4.

Dilution factor = Main solution concentration/tube 4 concentration

Dilution factor = 1.1/0.0088 = 125

I hope my answer helps you
