Answer:

B. The time during which a collision between two molecules occurs is negligibly short compared to the time between collisions

Explanation:

Kinetic molecular theory postulates:-

  • The gas is composed of small molecules are they are in continuous random motion and having elastic collisions with one another and also with the walls of the container.
  • The molecules of the gas does not exert any kind of repulsive or attractive forces on each other and they their size is negligible as compared to the difference between them.
  • Pressure exerted by the molecules of the gas results from the collisions which is happening between the molecules of the gas and the walls of the container.
  • Average kinetic energy of molecules of the gas is directly proportional to absolute temperature.

Hence, The correct option is:- <u>B. The time during which a collision between two molecules occurs is negligibly short compared to the time between collisions. This is not an important postulate of the kinetic molecular theory.</u>

Gemiola [76]
We know that domestic dogs are descended from wolves. Exactly when and how this occurred is still being studied; many experts indicate that dogs were first domesticated about 12,000 years ago, but a few DNA studies indicate a much earlier date for the split between the wolf and the dog, perhaps as long ago as 130,000 years. Regardless of the exact timing of the divergence between wolves and dogs, one thing is true: both species display quite a bit of genetic diversity, particularly in size and coloration.In order to breed a dog of a specific size, all one has to do is choose parents with the appropriate variations. For instance, if you want to create a small dog breed, you would just breed the smallest dogs you have, then you would choose their smallest offspring to breed the next generation, and so on until you have reached the desired size.

A compound consisting of B, N, and H undergoes elemental analysis. The % composition by mass is found to be 40.28% B, 52.20% N,
swat32

Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of components making up a compound.

The percentage composition of each element has been given

therefore the mass present of each element in 100 g of compound is

                      B                                   N                         H

mass          40.28 g                         52.20 g                 7.53 g

number of moles  

                 40.28 g / 11 g/mol      52.20 g / 14 g/mol    7.53 g / 1 g/mol

                = 3.662 mol                  = 3.729 mol             = 7.53 mol

divide the number of moles by the least number of moles, that is 3.662

                3.662 / 3.662              3.729 / 3.662              7.53 / 3.662

               = 1.000                           = 1.018                        = 2.056

the ratio of the elements after rounding off to the nearest whole number is

B : N : H = 1 : 1 : 2

therefore empirical formula for the compound is B₁N₁H₂          

that can be written as BNH₂

A solute added to a solvent raises the boiling point of the solution because: Select one: a. The solute particles raise the solv
loris [4]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>The correct answer would be that the solute particles lower the solvent's vapor pressure, thus requiring a higher temperature to cause boiling.</em>

Dissolving a solute particle in a solvent leads to a decrease in the vapor pressure of the solvent above the resulting solution when compared to the pure solvent. The lower the vapor pressure of a liquid, the higher the temperature required for the liquid to boil and vice versa. Hence, a higher temperature would be needed to boil a solvent with dissolved solutes.
