Kinetic molecular theory makes several assumption about

Chemistry
1 answer:
WITCHER [35]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The KM Theory is the 'micro' molecular description of the behavior of matter. That is, the theory takes into account particle-particle interactions. This is contrast with the 'macro' molecular description of matter that is based upon empirical relationships without taking into account particle - particle interactions.

For example, Charles Law defines the relationship of gas volume as a function of temperature as being direct. That is, an increase in temperature results in an increase in volume of gas. No mention is made of the fact that the increasing temperature is increasing the kinetic energy content of the particles causing an increase in velocity of the particles.

However, application of the principles of the KM Theory takes into account the relationship between kinetic energy and particle velocity in terms of increasing temperature and transfer of energy to specific quantities of matter. Such results are based upon probability concepts that 4 primary reaction factors must come together simultaneously to effect a chemical reaction. These are ...

1. reactive <u>concentration</u> of reactants => C

2. effective collisions occurring (orientation of particles on collisions) => E

3. the interaction of reactive structures by nature => N

4. temperature - energy conditions initiate reaction (activation energy point) => T

These are assumptions are 'reaction factors' (=> C.E.N.T for memory purposes) that must come together simultaneously to effect a reaction. The greatest probability of this occurring is at the temperature condition called the 'Activation Energy'. The relationship that defines this probability is called the Arrhenius Equation k = Ae^-ΔEₐ/RT where k is the kinetic rate constant, A is a proportionality constant, ΔEₐ the Activation Energy and T the Kelvin Temperature.

A plane has a cruising speed of 100 miles per hour when there is no wind. At this speed, the plane flew 600 miles with the wind
alina1380 [7]
The solution for this problem is:
Let x = speed of wind

Speed of plane with the wind = x + 100

Speed of plane against the wind = 100 -x 

 We will be using the formula for distance which is (Rate)(Time), getting the formula for time would be distance/rate Time to travel 600 miles with the wind = Time to travel 400 miles against the wind 600/(x + 100) = 400/(100 - x)

 400(x + 100) = 600(100 - x)

 400x + 40000 = 60000 - 600x

 1000x = 20000

x = 20000/1000

 x = 20 mph

A gas originally at 27 °c and 1.00 atm pressure in a 2.6 l flask is cooled at constant pressure until the temperature is 11 °c.
elena55 [62]
Charles law gives the relationship between volume and temperature of gas at constant pressure 
it states that at constant pressure, volume of gas is directly proportional to temperature 
V/T = k
where V - volume T - temperature and k - constant 
\frac{V1}{T1} =  \frac{V2}{T2}
parameters for the first instance are on the left side of the equation and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation
T1 - temperature in Kelvin - 27 °C + 273 = 300 K
T2 - 11 °C + 273 = 284 K
substituting the values in the equation 
2.6 L / 300 K = V / 284 K 
V = 2.46 L
New volume of the gas is 2.46 L

The s orbitals are said to be non directional what does it mean
ser-zykov [4K]

s - orbitals have a spherical symmetry and the probability of finding an electron in an s orbital is equal for equal distance in x, y or z direction. i mean the probability of lets say an electron found at a distance 10 units from nuclues, its value will be same for x, y and z when u go 10 units distnace from nucleus in these directions. then the value at 5 units would be some value which also would be same for x,y and z.

Easier explanation is that if u place a ball, can u tell towards which axis it is oriented? no, its equally in all directions. So, non- directional.

However, if you have p- orbitals like dumb bells, a dumb bell can be oriented in  three different directions, either x or y or z. see the pics.

What is the total number of calories of heat energy absorbed when 10 grams of water is vaporized at its normal boiling point
Darya [45]

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of energy absorbed by water is 5390 Calories

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the amount of heat absorbed at normal boiling point, we use the equation:

q=m\times L_{vap}

where,

q = amount of heat absorbed = ?

m = mass of water = 10 grams

L_{vap} = latent heat of vaporization = 539 Cal/g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

q=10g\times 539Cal/g=5390Cal

Hence, the amount of energy absorbed by water is 5390 Calories

Write the net ionic equation for the precipitation of cobalt(ii) carbonate from aqueous solution
andrey2020 [161]
Missing question: Write the net ionic equation for the precipitation reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of ammonium carbonate and cobalt(II) bromide are combined.<span>Balanced chemical reaction:
(NH</span>₄)₂CO₃(aq) + CoBr₂(aq) → CoCO₃(s) + 2NH₄Br(aq).
Net ionic reaction:
2NH₄⁺(aq) + CO²⁻(aq) + Co²⁺(aq) + 2Br⁻(aq) → CoCO₃ + 2NH₄(aq)+ 2Br(aq).
or CO²⁻(aq) + Co²⁺(aq) → CoCO₃(s).
