When the concentration of reactant molecules is increased

Chemistry
1 answer:
a_sh-v [17]2 years ago
6 0

Complete question is;

When the concentrations of reactant molecules are increased, the rate of reaction increases. The best explanation for this phenomenon is that as the reactant concentration increases,

A)the average kinetic energy of molecules increases.

B)the frequency of molecular collisions increases.

C)the rate constant increases.

D)the activation energy increases.

E)the order of reaction increases.

Answer:

B) The frequency of molecular collisions increases.

Explanation:

When we increase number of reactant molecules, the effective collision between the reactant molecules will form a product which also increases. As a result, the overall rate of the reaction will also increase which means the frequency of the molecular collision will also increase as well.

Thus, the correct answer is Option B

Which subatomic particle gives off visible light when it drops back down to a lower energy state?
icang [17]

Answer:

Option C = electron

Explanation:

Electrons are responsible for the production of colored light.

Electron:

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol= e-

Mass= 9.10938356×10⁻³¹ Kg

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

How electrons produce the colored light:

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum.

Other process may involve,

Fluorescence:

In fluorescence the energy is absorbed by the electron having shorter wavelength and high energy usually of U.V region. The process of absorbing the light occur in a very short period of time i.e. 10 ∧-15 sec. During the fluorescence the spin of electron not changed.

The electron is then de-excited by emitting the light in visible and IR region. This process of de-excitation occur in a time period of 10∧-9 sec.

Phosphorescence:

In phosphorescence the electron also goes to the excitation to the higher level by absorbing the U.V radiations. In case of Phosphorescence the transition back to the lower energy level occur very slowly and the spin pf electron also change.

The pungency of chillies is due to ____________.​
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

The hotness or pungency of chilli is due to presence of a group of compounds called capsaicinoids. Among capsaicinoids, capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin are present in major quantities, while homocapsaicin, nordihydrocapsaicin and homo-dihydrocapsaicin are present in very small quantities.

Is heated water more or less dense than the melted snow And rainwater
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Heated water is more dense than melted snow because water as liquid is denser than ice. Ice floats on water, which means that it has less density than water. Heated water is warmer and more dense than melted ice.

A balloon under 14.7 atm of pressure at 273K gets left in a car in Florida and the temperature increases to 303K. What is the ne
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The new pressure in the balloon is 16.3 atm

Explanation:

Gay-Lussac's law establishes the relationship between the temperature and the pressure of a gas when the volume is constant.

This law establishes that pressure and temperature are directly proportional quantities, that is to say that if the temperature increases the pressure increases and if the temperature decreases the pressure decreases.

Mathematically, Gay-Lussac's law states that, when a gas undergoes a constant volume transformation, the quotient of the pressure exerted by the gas temperature remains constant:

\frac{P}{T}=k

When you want to study two different states, an initial one and a final one, of a gas, you can use the expression:

\frac{P1}{T1}=\frac{P2}{T2}

In this case:

  • P1= 14.7 atm
  • T1= 273 K
  • P2= ?
  • T2= 303 K

Replacing:

\frac{14.7 atm}{273 K}=\frac{P2}{303 K}

Solving:

P2=303K*\frac{14.7 atm}{273 K}

P2= 16.3 atm

<u><em>The new pressure in the balloon is 16.3 atm</em></u>
