Answer:

3.1 x 10⁻²¹ Nm

Explanation:  

When placed in an external electric filed, an electric dipole experiences a torque. and this torque is represented mathematically with the equation:

torque (τ) = dipole moment vector (P) x electric field vector (E)

τ = P. E . sin θ

where θ is the angle between the water molecule and the electric field, which in this case is 90° (because this is where the torque is maximum)

τ = 6.2x10⁻³⁰Cm . 5.0x10⁸ N/C . sin90

τ = 6.2x10⁻³⁰Cm . 5.0x10⁸ N/C . 1

solve for τ

τ = 3.1 x 10⁻²¹ Nm

the maximum possible torque on the water molecule is therefore 3.1 x 10⁻²¹ Nm

According to collision theory, the rate of reaction depends on atoms colliding in the correct _________ with enough ________ for
kenny6666 [7]

Answer: orientation , energy , frequency

Explanation:

According to the collision theory , the number of collisions that take place per unit volume of the reaction mixture is called collision frequency. The effective collisions are ones which result into the formation of products.

Effective collisions depends on the following  two factors:-

1. Orientation factor: The colliding molecules must have proper orientation at the time of collision to result into formation of products.

2. Energy factor:  For collision to be effective,  the colliding molecules must have energy more than a particular value called as threshold energy.

When a certain amount of MgF2 is added to water, the freezing point lowers by 3.5° C. What was the molality of the
Leni [432]

The molality of the solution is obtained as 0.63 m.

<h3>What is the freezing point?</h3>

The freezing point is the temperature at which the liquid is converted into solid.

We know that;

ΔT = 3.5° C

K = 1.86° C/m

i = 3

m = ?

Thus;

ΔT = K m i

m = ΔT/K i

m = 3.5° C/ 1.86° C/m * 3

m = 0.63 m

How can i find the number of neutrons in an element ​
lawyer [7]

Answer:

The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons. This means to find the number of neutrons you subtract the number of protons from the mass number. On the periodic table, the atomic number is the number of protons, and the atomic mass is the mass number.
