As the temperature increases the number of effective collisions between reacting particles in a chemical reaction

1 answer:

8 0

Answer: option A) initially increases, then decreases.

Justification:

The increase of the rate of effective collisions among particles as the temperature increases is explained by the collision theory in virtue of the increase of the kinetic energy.

This is, as the temperature increase so the kinetic energy increase and the higher the kinetic energy the greater the number of collisions and the greater the chances that this energy overcome the activation energy (the energy needed to start the reaction).

Now, as the reaction progress the number of reactants particles naturally decrease (some of them have been converted into product) so this lower number of particles means lower concentration which means lower collisions and, thereafter, a decrease in the reaction rate.

If the kinetic energy of an electron is 4.1e-18 j, what is the speed of the electron? (you can use the approximate (nonrelativis

arlik [135]

The kinetic energy of the electron is
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where $m=9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg$ is the mass of the electron and v its speed. Since we know the value of the kinetic energy, $K=4.1 \cdot 10^{-18} J$ , we can find the value of the speed v:
$v= \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2\cdot 4.1 \cdot 10^{-18}J}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31}kg} } = 3\cdot 10^6 m/s$

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

The value of third charge is 0.8μC.

Explanation:

Given that.

Magnitude of net force=4.444 N

According to figure,

Suppose, First charge = 2.4 μC

Second charge = 6.2 μC
