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.

Answer the following. (a) What is the surface temperature of Betelgeuse, a red giant star in the constellation of Orion, which r
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

(a) T = 2987.6 k

(b) T = 19986.2 k

Explanation:

The temperature of a star in terms of peak wavelength can be given by Wein's Displacement Law, which is as follows:

T = \frac{0.2898\ x\ 10^{-2}\ m.k}{\lambda_{max}}

where,

T = Radiated surface temperature

\lambda_{max} = peak wavelength

(a)

here,

\lambda_{max} = 970 nm = 9.7 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

T = \frac{0.2898\ x\ 10^{-2}\ m.k}{9.7\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}

<u>T = 2987.6 k</u>

(b)

here,

\lambda_{max} = 145 nm = 1.45 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

T = \frac{0.2898\ x\ 10^{-2}\ m.k}{1.45\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}

<u>T = 19986.2 k</u>

Answer:

Elastic potential energy, E=2.35\times 10^{-8}\ J

Explanation:

Charge, q=9.4\times 10^{-10}\ C

Potential, V = 50 V

It is required to find the electric potential energy in a capacitor stored in it. The formula of the electric potential energy in a capacitor is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}qV\\\\E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.4\times 10^{-10}\times 50\\\\E=2.35\times 10^{-8}\ J

So, the electric potential energy stored in the capacitor is 2.35\times 10^{-8}\ J

What physical property causes liquids to not separate in a container?
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

B) boiling point

Explanation:

The movement of the particles causes the shape of the liquid to change. The liquid will flow and fill to the lowest part of the container, in the shape of the container

But the volume does not change. The limited amount of space between the particles means that the liquid has only very limited compressibility.
