What does the kinetic theory say about the kinetic energy present in solids

Chemistry
1 answer:
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: The kinetic energy of solids is limited to vibrational energies..the particles are tightly bound in their crystalline structure and can only bend, flex, and vibrate about relatively fixed position.  When vibrational energies exceed the strength of the force holding the particles together, the crystal structure collapses and we say the material melted.  The particles can now have, in addition to its vibrational energies, rotational energy.  Chunks of the collapsed crystal can, like a ball floating in water, rotate without showing much translational energy. Generally, we associate solids with vibrational kinetic energy, liquids with rotational kinetic energy, and gases with translational kinetic energy. Actually though, liquids have both vibrational and rotational energies, and gases have all three.

Predict the sign of ΔSsys for each of the following processes. Which are positive? (a) Gasoline vapors mix with air in a car eng
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Positive: a and b

Negative: c

Explanation:

The entropy (S) is the measure of the randomness of the system, and it intends to increase. The randomness can be determined by the energy of the molecules, their velocity and how distance they are between the other molecules.

When the entropy increases, ΔS is positive, when the entropy decreases, ΔS is negative. So, when gasoline mix with air in a car engine, the process intends to continue, the randomness increases and ΔS is positive. When hot air expands, the distance between the molecules increases, so ΔS is positive.

But, when humidity condenses, the molecules stay closer, so there's a decrease in the randomness, then ΔS is negative.

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Suspension

Explanation:

This mixture is a simple suspension.

A suspension is a mixture of small insoluble particles of a solid in a liquid or gas. Here, it is insoluble particles in liquid.

  • Suspensions are settle on standing this is why they have to be mixed again.
  • The particles do not pass through ordinary filter paper.
  • They are usually cloudy and have an opaque color.
  • The marinade is simply a suspension.
  • It is not a solution because they do not settle on standing.
  • Also, colloids do not settle on standing.
