6 0

1. There are three parts to an atom. Protons have a positive electrical charge and are found together with neutrons (no electrical charge) in the nucleus of each atom. Negatively charged electrons orbit the nucleus.
2. Everything is made of atoms.
3. Atoms are mostly empty space.

The Grand Canyon becomes deeper every day. What causes the canyon to become deeper?

choli [55]

Answer:

usually when a river, ocean or lake...etc becomes deeper is because of the weather the more hydrogen and oxygen atoms the more water :D and also gravitys pull thats pulling it deeper is another reason.

Why was the line of best fit method used to determine the experimental value of absolute zero?

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Because the x-intercet of the graph represents volume zero, which indicates the minimum possible temperature or absolute zero.

Explanation:

Charle's Law for ideal gases states that, at constant pressure, the temperature and the volume of a sample of gas are protortional.

$\dfrac{V}{T}=k\\\\V=kT$

That means that the graph of the relationship between Temperature, in Kelivn, and Volume is a line, which passes through the origin.

When you work with Temperature in Celsius, and the temperature is placed on the x-axis, the line is shifted to the left 273.15ºC.

Meaning that the Volume at 273.15ºC is zero.

You cannot reach such low temperatures in an experiment, and also, volume zero is not real.

Nevertheless, you can draw the line of best fit and extend it until the x-axis (corresponding to a theoretical volume equal to zero), and read the corresponding temperature.

Subject to the experimental errors, and the fact that the real gases are not ideal, the temperature that you read on the x-axis is the minimum possible temperature (absolute zero) as the minimum possible volume is zero.

What is the mean free path for the molecules in an ideal gas when the pressure is 100 kPa and the temperature is 300 K given tha

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The mean free path = 2.16*10^-6 m

Explanation:

Given:

Pressure of gas P = 100 kPa

Temperature T = 300 K

collision cross section, σ = 2.0*10^-20 m2

Boltzmann constant, k = 1.38*10^-23 J/K

To determine:

The mean free path, λ

Calculation:

The mean free path is related to the collision cross section by the following equation:

$\lambda =\frac{1}{n\sigma }------(1)$

where n = number density

$n = \frac{P}{kT}-----(2)$

Substituting for P, k and T in equation (2) gives:

$n = \frac{100,000 Pa}{1.38*10^{-23} J/K*300K} =2.42*10^{25}\ m^{3}$

Next, substituting for n and σ in equation (1) gives:

$\lambda =\frac{1}{2.42*10^{25}m^{-3}* .0*10^{-20}m^{2}}=2.1*10^{-6}m$
