Answer:

The kinetic molecular theory explains the pressure exerted by gases as the result of many collissions of the gas particles (atoms or molecules) with the walls of the vessel where they are contained.

The pressure is the perpendicular force per unit area exerted by the gas particles when they hit the walls of the container.

Explanation:

As per the kinetic molecular theory, gases consist on a large number of tiny particles (atoms or molecules) in continuous rapid random motion.

The particles are so small that they are considered to have a negligible volume compared with the volume of the vessel where they are confined.

Since the number of molecules is so large, statistical approach can be applied.

The rapidly moving particles constantly collide among them and with the walls of the container. The collisions are considered elastic, which means that there is no loss of energy after the coliisions.

Applying classical (Newtonian) mechanic and the statistical approach, the kinetic theory calculates the pressure exerted by gases as the force exerted by the particles when they hit the walls of the container per unit of area.

Answer:

Weather and erosion.

Explanation:

In Geography, weathering is the process of breaking down of rocks, minerals and soil as a result of contact with water, earth's atmosphere, acid, ice, plants and animals. The breaking up of the rocks by weathering weakens it and makes it susceptible to erosion.

Erosion in geography is the movement of rocks and sediments to another place by water, wind and ice.

For instance, In many parts of the Cross Timbers and Prairies ecoregion, the Brazos river has formed tall, steep cliffs in the rock along its banks through the processes of weathering and erosion.

15. Why do many substances dissolve easily in water?

mash [69]

Answer:

Water is called the "universal solvent" because it is capable of dissolving more substances than any other liquid. ... Water molecules have a polar arrangement of oxygen and hydrogen atoms—one side (hydrogen) has a positive electrical charge and the other side (oxygen) had a negative charge

Which characteristics are common to the three isotopes of hydrogen?

allsm [11]

D should be the correct answer. isotopes are atoms that have the same atomic number (number of protons) but different atomic masses (number of protons and neutrons). isotopes also have the same number of electrons since atoms need to have equal numbers of protons and electrons to not be considered ions. Since the number of protons determines the chemical properties of the atom, we can say that all isotopes have the same chemical properties due to the fact that all isotopes have the same atomic number.

I hope this helps. Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

Use bond energies from Table 10.3 in the textbook to estimate the enthalpy change (ΔH) for the following reaction. C2H2(g)+H2(g)

Digiron [165]

Answer: $=176.6kJmol^{-1}$

Explanation:Bond energy of H-H is 436.4 kJ/mole

Bond energy of C-H is 414 kJ/mol

Bond energy of C=C is 620 kJ/mol

Bond energy of C≡C is 835 kJ/mol

$\Delta H= {\text {sum of bond energies of reactants}}- {\text {sum of bond energies of products}}$

$\Delta H$ = {1B.E(C≡C)+2B.E(C-H) +1B.E(H-H)} - {1B.E(C=C)+4B.E(C-H)}

$\Delta H= {1B.E(835kJmole^{-1})+2B.E(414kJmole^{-1}) +1B.E(436.4kJmole^{-1})} - {1B.E(620kJmole^{-1})+4B.E(414kjmole^{-1})}$

$=176.6kJmol^{-1}$

Nonmetals gain electrons under certain conditions to attain a noble gas electron configuration. How many electrons must be gaine

gogolik [260]

Answer:

Explanation:

For non metals to attain a noble gas configuration, they gain the number of electrons needed to attain the noble gas configuration of the noble gas at the end of their periods. This means that these non metals would only take up the configuration of the last element on their periods which of course is always a noble gas.

The last element on the hydrogen period or more conservatively the only other element on the hydrogen period is helium, with an atomic number of 2. The atomic number is the number of protons in he nucleus of an atom. For an electrically neutral atom, the number of electrons equal the number of protons.

Hence we can deduce that helium has 2 electrons while hydrogen has one electron. Thus for it to attain the configuration of helium, it just needs to gain one more electron
