You have a gas stored in a rigid container (fixed volume). Explain the relationship between a decrease in temperature, collision

s, and kinetic energy within the container.

Answer:

A decrease in temperature would decrease kinetic energy, therefore decreasing collisions possible.

Explanation:

A gas at a fixed volume is going to have collisions automatically. If you decrease the temperature (same thing as decreasing kinetic energy) you are cooling down the molecules in the container which gives them less energy and "relaxes" them. This decrease in energy causes them to move around much slower and causing less collisions, at a much slower rate. In a perfect world, these collisions do not slow down the molecule but we know that they do, just a very very small unmeasurable amount.

Which of the following molecules is diamagnetic according to molecular orbital theory? A) N₂⁺ B) N₂⁻ C) CN D) CN⁻
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

D) CN⁻

Explanation:

    Hund's Rule of Maximum Multiplicity state that electrons go into degenerate orbitals of sub-levels (p,d, and f ) singly before pairing commences. Hund's rule is useful in determining the number of unpaired electrons in an atom. As such, it explains some magnetic properties of elements.

An element whose atoms or molecules contain unpaired electrons is paramagnetic. i.e., weakly attracted to substances in a magnetic field.

On the other hand, the element whose atoms or molecules are filled up with paired electrons is known as diamagnetic, i.e., not attracted by magnetic substances.

According to the molecular orbital theory, the diamagnetic molecule is CN⁻ because of the absence of unpaired electrons.

If a buffer solution is 0.190 m in a weak acid (ka = 8.2 × 10-5) and 0.590 m in its conjugate base, what is the ph?\
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
<span>You use the Henderson - Hasselbalch equation pH = pKa + log ([salt]/[acid]) pKa = -log (8.2*10^-5) = 4.081 pH = 4.081 + (0.590/0.190) pH = 4.081 + log 3.105 pH = 4.081 + 0.49206 pH = 4.573</span>

Why was there so much disagreements among the ancient greeks about the nature of the atoms?
olga2289 [7]
It is because in that time science was not established. This is, the experimentation to test hypotheses, which is a fundamental part of the scientific method, was not applied.

Atoms can not be seen, then they could only reflect or philosophize on this matter. This method is not able to give good answers to so complicated scientific matters.
