Why can scientist assume elastic collisions as long as the temperature remains constant?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Tema [17]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Because in elastic collisions there is no heat emission or absorption.

Explanation:

A collision is considered elastic when the total kinetic energy of the study system is conserved during the collision. Since the total kinetic energy is conserved, heat is not emitted or absorbed during the collision. Since the emission or absorption of heat is what produces changes in temperature, If the system remains at a constant temperature, there were only elastic collisions.

How many grams of water will be produced if you start with 4.0 grams of hydrogen and an excess of oxygen given the following bal
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

B.) 36.0 grams

Explanation:

To find the mass of water, you need to (1) convert grams H₂ to moles (using the molar mass), then (2) convert moles H₂ to moles H₂O (using mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients), and then (3) convert moles H₂O to grams (using the molar mass). It is important to arrange the conversions in a way that allows for the cancellation of units.

Molar Mass (H₂): 2(1.008 g/mol)

Molar Mass (H₂): 2.016 g/mol

Molar Mass (H₂O): 2(1.008 g/mol) + 15.998 g/mol

Molar Mass (H₂O): 18.014 g/mol

2 H₂ + O₂ -----> 2 H₂O
^                        ^

4.0 g H₂            1 mole             2 moles H₂O           18.014 g
---------------  x  ----------------  x  ------------------------  x  ---------------  = 36 g H₂O
                          2.016 g             2 moles H₂              1 mole

Sulfur is an element that can be seen on the periodic table. What will most likely occur if sulfur forms an ionic bond with anot
Yakvenalex [24]

What is likely  to occur  if sulfur  forms an ionic  bond with another  element  is  <u>sulfur  will accept  electrons</u>

     

    <u><em> explanation</em></u>

  • Ionic bond is formed when  a metal react with a non metal.
  • Metal  loses ( donate) electrons  to form cation ( a positively charged  ion) , while  non metal accept (gain)  electrons  to form anion ( a negatively charged ion ).

  • Sulfur  is a non metal  therefore it  accept  electrons if it form an ionic bond  with a metal. sulfur accept  2 electrons to  form S2- ion
