Answer:
It's a very good subject!
Answer:
(a). 132 × 10^-9 s = 132 nanoseconds.
(b)..176.5 pico-seconds.
Explanation:
(a). At one torr, the first thing to do is to find the speed and that can be done by using the formula below;
Speed = [ (8 × R × T)/ Mm × π]^1/2.
Where Mm = molar mass, T = temperature and R = gas constant.
Speed= [ ( 8 × 8.314 × 300)/ 131.293 × π × 10^-3)^1/2. = 220m/s.
The next thing to do now is to calculate for the degree of collision which can be calculated by using the formula below;
Degree of collision = √2 × π × speed × d^2 × pressure/ K × T.
Note that pressure = 1 torr = 133.32 N/m^2 and d = collision diameter.
Degree of collision = √2 × π × 220 × (4.9 × 10^-10)^2 × 133.32/ 1.38 × 10^-23 × 300.
Degree of collision = 7.55 × 10^6 s^-1.
Thus, 1/ 7.55 × 10^6. = 132 × 10^-9 s = 132 nanoseconds.
(b). At one bar;
1/10^5 × 10^3 × 56.65 = 1.765 × 10^-10 = 176.5 pico-seconds.
An element is just consisted of one type of atom and cannot be broken down by chemicals (Ex. Oxygen just has the oxygen molecule)
A compound is when there's a mixture of atoms and can be broken down by chemicals (Ex. NaCl is made up of sodium and chloride atoms)
You should just try your best out what u think it will be okay ! I don’t know the answer I’m sorry
