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.

A standard 1 kilogram weight is a cylinder 54.0 mm in height and 55.0 mm in diameter. what is the density of the material

denis-greek [22]

The radius of the cylinder is equal to half the diameter:

$r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{55.0 mm}{2}=27.5 mm$

The volume of the cylinder is given by:

$V=\pi r^2 h=\pi (27.5 mm)^2 (54.0 mm)=1.28 \cdot 10^5 mm^3$

where h is the heigth of the cylinder. Converting into meters,

$V=1.28 \cdot 10^{-4} m^3$

And the density of the material will be given by the ratio between the mass and the volume:

$d=\frac{m}{V}=\frac{1 kg}{1.28 \cdot 10^{-4} m^3}=7812.5 kg/m^3$

Two identical 7.10-gg metal spheres (small enough to be treated as particles) are hung from separate 700-mmmm strings attached t

nlexa [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let m be mass of each sphere and θ be angle, string makes with vertex in equilibrium.

Let T be tension in the hanging string

T cosθ = mg ( for balancing in vertical direction )

for balancing in horizontal direction

Tsinθ = F ( F is force of repulsion between two charges sphere)

Dividing the two equations

Tanθ = F / mg

tan17 = F / (7.1 x 10⁻³ x 9.8)

F = 21.27 x 10⁻³ N

if q be charge on each sphere , force of repulsion between the two

F = k q x q / r² ( r is distance between two sphere , r = 2 x .7 x sin17 = .41 m )

21.27 x 10⁻³ = (9 X 10⁹ x q²) / .41²

q² = .3973 x 10⁻¹²

q = .63 x 10⁻⁶ C

no of electrons required = q / charge on a single electron

= .63 x 10⁻⁶ / 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

= .39375 x 10¹³

3.9375 x 10¹² .

Which of the following concepts best explains why a mass of low-density material in the mantle rises?Multiple Choice Strain Buoy

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Bouyancy

Explanation:

Bouyancy occurs when the upthrust exerted on an object is equal to the weight of object displaced. It is mostly applicable to low density objects for example balloon. When balloon is displaced in water, it floats. This is due to the effect of the upthrust acting on the balloon which allows the balloon to float and which is opposite the weight.

Note that the weight acts downwards the object while the upthrust always acts opposite (upward)
