What 2 factors determine whether a collision between reactants is effective

Chemistry

4 0

Answer:

  • The kinetic energy and the orientation of the molecules.

Explanation:

As per the <em>collision theory</em>, in order for the reactants yield the products, the molecules or particles must collide with a kinetic energy greater than or equal to the activation energy, and they must collide in the right orientation for the old bonds can be broken and the new ones formed.

The particles of reactants that collide either with less kinetic energy than the needed or in a different orientation will not drive to formation of new products but will "bounce" without producing any chemical change.

This theory is in agreement with the observations that increasing the concentration of reactants increases the rate of reaction, because more collisions will be occur, such as increasing the temperature also increases the rate of reaction, because the collisions will be more energetic.

A sample of glucose ( C6H12O6 ) of mass 8.44 grams is dissolved in 2.11 kg water. What is the freezing point of this solution? T
taurus [48]

Answer:

<em>- 0.0413°C ≅ - 0.041°C (nearest thousands).</em>

Explanation:

  • Adding solute to water causes the depression of the freezing point.

  • We have the relation:

<em>ΔTf = Kf.m,</em>

Where,

ΔTf is the change in the freezing point.

Kf is the freezing point depression constant (Kf = 1.86 °C/m).

m is the molality of the solution.

<em>Molality is the no. of moles of solute per kg of the solution.</em>

  • <em>no. of moles of solute (glucose) = mass/molar mass</em> = (8.44 g)/(180.156 g/mol) = <em>0.04685 mol.</em>

<em>∴ molality (m) = no. of moles of solute/kg of solvent</em> = (0.04685 mol)/(2.11 kg) = <em>0.0222 m.</em>

∴ ΔTf = Kf.m = (1.86 °C/m)(0.0222 m) = 0.0413°C.

<em>∴ The freezing point of the solution = the freezing point of water - ΔTf </em>= 0.0°C - 0.0413°C = <em>- 0.0413°C ≅ - 0.041°C (nearest thousands).</em>

stiks02 [169]

Answer:K subscript e q equals StartFraction StartBracket upper C upper O subscript 2 EndBracket StartBracket upper C a upper O EndBracket over StartBracket upper C a upper C upper O subscript 3 EndBracket EndFraction

Explanation: the answer has it's root in Law of mass action which states that; the rate of a chemical reaction is directly proportional to the product of the concentrations of the reactants raised to their respective stoichiometric coefficients.

A scientist is trying to determine whether a certain substance is radioactive. Which question would be most helpful to ask?
oksian1 [2.3K]
Well a question to ask would be if the mass of the material has changed significantly as that would determine that the substance is radioactive or if there have been any high readings found by a Geiger meter in certain period of time

hope that helps
