According  to   kinetic   molecular  theory  temperature  is  a  measure  of  kinetic  energy.There  is  absolute  minimum  temperature  which  occurs  when  something  completely  stop  moving   whereby  temperature  cannot  become  lower   than   this  point. The   absolute  zero  which  has  been  extrapolated  to  exist  at  about  -273  celsius  while  in   kelvin  scale  is  set  such  that  absolute  zero  is 0  k  thus  kelvin   is  better   inorder  to  avoid  negative  number  when  calculating.

<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

The kinetic theory of gases states that <em>the total average energy of the movement (translation) of a molecule is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas</em>. Then, as the temperature increases, the number of collisions increases, since the higher the temperature, the greater the number of collisions.

Therefore, the reaction rate will increase as the temperature increases.

In other words :

If a reaction suffers an increase in temperature or concentration, it will generate an increase in the number of effective collisions.

In this context, a change in temperature in the Kelvin scale is <u>directly related</u> to kinetic energy of the molecules, hence the 0 degrees Kelvin represents zero kinetic energy; while the Celsius scale is <u>indirectly related</u> kinetic energy, it is based on the range between freezing and boiling water temperatures in 100 equal parts, this means the zero degrees Celsius is based on the change in temperature in water and is not the absolute zero.

The compound is (Sulphuric Acid) H2SO4. On reacting with (Sodium Hydroxide) NaOH, it gives (2 Water Molecules/Colored) 2H2O and (1 Sodium Sulfate Molecule/Salt) Na2SO4

H2SO4 + NaOH —> 2H2O (aq.) + Na2SO4 (salt)

The resulted salt/compound (Na2SO4) when reacting with Methyl Orange (MO) is called ”Removal of methyl orange dye and Na2SO4 salt from synthetic wastewater using reverse osmosis (RO)”

The efficiency of reverse osmosis (RO) membranes used for treatment of colored water effluents can be affected by the presence of both salt and dyes.

Concentration polarization of each of the dye and the salt and the possibility of a dynamic membrane formed by the concentrated dye can affect the performance of the RO membrane.

The objective of the current work was to study the effect of varying the Na2SO4 salt and methyl orange (MO) dye concentrations on the performance of a spiral wound polyamide membrane.

The work also involved the development of a theoretical model based on the solution diffusion (SD) mass transport theory that takes into consideration a pressure dependent dynamic membrane resistance as well as both salt and dye concentration polarizations.

Control tests were performed using distilled water, dye/water and salt/water feeds to determine the parameters for the model.

The experimental results showed that increasing the dye concentration from 500 to 1000 ppm resulted in a decrease in the salt rejection at all of the operating pressures and for both feed salt concentrations of 5000 and 10,000 ppm.

Increasing the salt concentration from 5000 to 10,000 ppm resulted in a slight decrease in the percent dye removal. The model’s results agreed well with these general trends.

A student weighing 120 lbs climbs a 12 ft flight of stairs in 9 seconds. how much power did the student create?
Alex Ar [27]
Power can be calculate through the equation,
                        Power = Force x velocity

It should be noted that velocity is calculated by dividing displacement by time. Thus, from the given in this item we can calculate for the power. 
                       Power = (120 lb) x (12 ft/9 s)
                         <em> </em><span><em>Power   = 160 lb.ft/s</em></span>
