Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Compressibility means the ability to reduce or compress in size.
In solids, molecules are held together by strong force of attraction. Therefore, it requires very high force or energy to break the bond between the molecules of a solid.
As a result, compressibility of solids is low.
Whereas a hot ionized gas which contains same number of both positive or negatively charged electrons is known as plasma. Being a gas, molecules of plasma are not held by strong force of attractions.
Hence, plasma is compressible as compared to solids.
Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, the statement compressibility of solids is lower than the compressibility of plasmas and gases is true.
Answer is: polystyrene.
Expanded polystyrene is used to manufacture foam cups.
Polystyrene production is several million tonnes per year.
Polystyrene is a synthetic aromatic hydrocarbon polymer made from the monomer styrene.
Styrene (ethenylbenzene) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C₆H₅CH=CH₂. It is a colorless oily liquid.
Answer:
the sun is the smallest object in our Solar System
Explanation:
Answer:
The collision theory is defined as the rate of a reaction is proportional to the rate of reactant collisions.
Explanation:
The reacting species should collide with orientation that allows contract between the atoms that will become bonds together in the product.
The collision occurs with adequate energy to permit mutual penetration of the reacting species. The two physical factors based on the orientation and energy of collision, the following reaction with carbon monoxide with oxygen is considered.
2CO(g) + O2(g) → 2CO2 (g)
After collision between the carbon monoxide and oxygen the reaction is
CO(g) + O2(g) → CO2 (g) + O(g)
Based on the theories of chemical reaction the molecules collide with sufficient amount of energy an activated complex is formed.
Standard temperature and pressure (STP) means a temperature of 0°c and a pressure of 1 atmosphere (atm). The molar gas volume is used to convert between the number of moles of a gas and the volume of the gas at STP. One mole of a gas occupies a volume of 22400 cm³ or 22.4 liters at STP according to the molar gas volume.
