 Each particle has two possibilities: either it is on the left hand side or it is on the right hand side.  

The probability of having them equally split is  

P(100,100) = 200C100 / 2^200  

where 200C100 is the binomial coefficient.  

For the uneven distribution we have  

P= 2 * 200C160 / 2^200  

where the factor 2 comes in because we could have 160/40 or 40/160 as a division.  

So the ratio of probabilities is  

200C100 /(2 * 200C160 )  

= 2.2 * 10^16

Hope this helps!

Answer:

  • <u><em>True</em></u>

Explanation:

<em>Heat</em> is a kind of energy.

The <em>kinetic theory </em>relates the heat with the movement of the particles: the more the particles move, the larger the kinetic energy of the system. The kinetic theory states that heat is the kinetic energy of the particles, atoms or molecules, in a substance, that is transferred from a substance at higher temperature to other substance at lower temperature.

Based on that principle, the kinetic theory explains the changes of phases of the substances in terms of the motion of the particles: the hotter an object the faster the particles move, the more energetic the particles are, and they occupy more space. Thus, when a solid is heated, the particles move faster and it can pass to liquid or gaseous state.

How can you tell whether a fat contains primarily saturated or unsaturated fatty acids?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
In terms of physically observing it, if the substance is a lions based substance, like oil or margarine, depending on the state, this will inform how well the hydrocarbons can pack together well or not, or will there be bends in the ring preventing the molecules from packing well.

Liquids are unsaturated
Solids are saturated.
