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.

Predict whether the changes in enthalpy, entropy, and free energy will be positive or negative for the melting of ice, and expla

BlackZzzverrR [31]

<span>Melting of ice is an endothermic process, meaning that energy is absorbed. When ice spontaneously melts, ΔH (change in enthalpy) is "positive". ΔS (entropy change) is also positive, because, becoming a liquid, water molecules lose their fixed position in the ice crystal, and become more disorganized. ΔG (free energy of reaction) is negative when a reaction proceeds spontaneously, as it happens in this case. Ice spontaneously melts at temperatures higher than 0°C. However, liquid water also spontaneously freezes at temperatures below 0°C. Therefore the temperature is instrumental in determining which "melting" of ice, or "freezing" of water becomes spontaneous. The whole process is summarized in the Gibbs free energy equation:
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS</span>

6) Set the battery to a value between 0.0 V and 1.5 V. Now drag the voltage meter toward the capacitor and move the red and blac

KIM [24]

Answer:

A) 1.5 v

B) Top plate is at higher voltage than the bottom plate

Explanation:

Battery value set between 0.0 V and 1.5 V

a) The potential difference between the plates

Δ V = V1( potential at top plate) - V2( potential at lower plate )

potential at top plate = 1.5 V

potential at lower plate = 0.0 V

hence potential difference = 1.5 V

b ) The top plate is always connected to the positive terminal of the DC source ( which is at a higher potential )while the bottom plate is connected to the negative terminal of the DC source ( which is at a lower potential )

hence the Top plate is at higher voltage than the bottom plate

does increasing the frequency of a wave also increase its wavelength if not how are these quantities related

Aleks [24]

Answer: Increasing the frequency does not increase the wavelength. They are inversely related.

Explanation:

As wavelength increases, frequency decreases. If you look at a transverse wave and it has a long wavelength, there only a few waves produce. Which means there is less frequency produced. So as wavelength increases, frequency decreases. The other way around can work to. As frequency increases, wavelength decreases. They are inversely related.

Two rigid rods are oriented parallel to each other and to the ground. The rods carry the same current in the same direction. The

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

The current in the rods is 171.26 A.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of rod = 0.85 m

Mass of rod = 0.073 kg

Distance $d = 8.2\times10^{-3}\ m$

The rods carry the same current in the same direction.

We need to calculate the current

I is the current through each of the wires then the force per unit length on each of them is

Using formula of force

$\dfrac{F}{L}=\dfrac{\mu_{0}I^2}{2\pi d}$

$\dfrac{mg}{L}=\dfrac{\mu_{0}I^2}{2\pi d}$

Where, m = mass of rod

l = length of rod

Put the value into the formula

$I^2=\dfrac{mgd}{\mu L}$

$I^2=\dfrac{0.073\times9.8\times8.2\times10^{-3}}{2\times10^{-7}}$

$I=\sqrt{29331.4}$

$I=171.26\ A$

Hence, The current in the rods is 171.26 A.

What is the purpose of the background research step of the scientific method?

Lilit [14]

Background research is used to familiarize yourself with the topic or problem you're conducting your experiment on and help you form an educated guess explaining or solving it that will become your hypothesis.
