What happens when Molecules collide?

Answer:

Collision theory is used to predict the rates of chemical reactions, particularly for gases. It is based on the assumption that for a reaction to occur for the reacting species (atoms or molecules) must come together or collide with one another. Not all collisions, however, bring about chemical change.

If two molecules collide with sufficient activation energy, there is no guarantee that the collision will be successful. In fact, the collision theory says that not every collision is successful, even if molecules are moving with enough energy. The reason for this is because molecules also need to collide with the right orientation so that the proper atoms line up with one another, and bonds can break and re-form necessarily.

FIGURE 1 shows part of a mass spectrometer. The whole arrangement is in a vacuum. Negative ions of mass 2.84 x 10-20 kg and char

yuradex [85]

Yes, the ions can exit slit P without being deflected, if the electric field strength is 170.6 N/C

Explanation:

When the ions are inside the container, they are subjected to two forces, with directions opposite to each other:

The force due to the electric field, whose magnitude is $F_E=qE$ , where q is the charge of the ion and E is the strength of the electric field
The force due to the magnetic field, whose magnitude is $F_B=qvB$ , where v is the speed of the ions and B is the strength of the magnetic field

The ions will move straight and undeflected if the two forces are equal and opposite. By using Fleming Left Hand rule, we notice that the magnetic force on the (negative) ions point upward: this means that the electric field must be also upward (so that the electric force on the ions is downward). Then, the two forces are balanced if

$F_E = F_B$

which translates into

$qE=qvB\\\rightarrow v = \frac{E}{B}$

Therefore, if the speed of the ions is equal to this ratio, the ions will go undeflected.

We can even calculate the value of E at which this occurs. In fact, we know that the ions are earlier accelerated by a potential difference $V=-3000 V$ , so we have that their kinetic energy is given by the change in electric potential energy:

$qV=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

$q=-2.0\cdot 10^{-19}C\\m=2.84\cdot 10^{-20}kg$

Solving for v, the speed,

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(-2.0\cdot 10^{-19})(-3000)}{2.84\cdot 10^{-20}}}=205.6 m/s$

And since the magnetic field strength is

B = 0.83 T

The strength of the electric field must be

$E=vB=(205.6 m/s)(0.83 T)=170.6 N/C$

Find a first-degree polynomial function p1 whose value and slope agree with the value and slope of f at x = c. f(x) = cot(x), c

Neporo4naja [7]

The correct answer is y=-2x+(1/2)

y = f'(x)· x + c

Y = -2x + C

1 = -2x π/4 + C

=) C = I + π/2

y=-2x+(1/2) is the first-degree polynomial.

First-degree polynomials are the simplest polynomials. Here, we'll talk about a few qualities and connect the terms polynomial, function, and equation. Write a polynomial equation in standard form before attempting to solve it. Factor it, then set each variable factor to zero after it has reached zero. The original equations' answers are the solutions to the derived equations. Factoring cannot always be used to solve polynomial equations. For instance, the polynomial 2x+5 has an exponent of 1. The most typical kinds of polynomials used in algebra and precalculus are zero polynomial functions.
