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.

What happens to the hydrogen ion (H+) concentration as an aqueous
padilas [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

It can be determined by measuring the Ph. D is incorrect.

C: is wrong because if you are making something acidic, you are increasing the H+

B: is the correct answer.

A: pH decreases. H+ increases which makes the Ph decrease. It is an oddity of the formula that makes this happen.

Planck’s constant is approximately equal to which of the following?
KonstantinChe [14]
Henlo!
Bohr's model was unable to calculate or it required precise information about position of an electron and its velocity. It is very difficult to calculate velocity and position of an electron at the same time because electron i too small to see and may only be observed if peturbed, for example we could hit the electron with another particle such as photon or an electron, or we could apply electric or magnetic field to the electron. This will inevitably change the position of the elctron or its velocity and direction. Heisenberg aid that more precisely we can define the position of an electron, the less certainity we are able to define its velocity and vice versa. 
In short, first option is correct one

How many molecules of hydrogen gas are produced when 32.4 g of potassium are added to water?
Yuri [45]
Moles of K = 32.4/39 = 0.83 mole. According to stoichiometry, 2 moles of K produces 1mole of H2. Therefore, 0.83 mole of K produces = 0.83/2 = 0.415 moles of H2. Therefore number molecules of H2 = moles of H2 x 6.02 x 10^23 = 2.4983 x 10^23 molecules. Hope this helps!
