In the gaseous state, the molecules are completely free because there is no intermolecular interaction between the molecules hence they translate at incredibly high velocity.

According to the kinetic theory of matter, the molecules that compose matter are in constant random motion. The nature of this motion varies in the three states of matter which are;

  • Solid
  • Liquid and
  • Gas

In the solid state, the molecules do not translate, they only vibrate and rotate about their mean positions. In the liquids state, the molecules translate but they still have restricted degrees of freedom due to intermolecular interactions. In the gaseous state, the molecules are completely free because there is no intermolecular interaction between the molecules hence they translate at incredibly high velocity.

Answer:

Experiments to determine mechanisms involve looking at indirect evidence to help support or disprove a proposed mechanism.

Most intermediates are not typically isolated to determine reaction mechanisms.

Carbocations are very reactive and are typically not isolated for analysis.

Scientists can prove that a specific mechanism exists.

Evidence of intermediates sometimes can be seen using techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Explanation:

The study of reaction mechanism and chemical kinetics often form the main thrust of study in organic, inorganic and physical chemistry.

We often want to know the actual processes involved in the conversion of one specie to another. Unfortunately, this information may have to be obtained indirectly by certain chemical reactions or by the use of new instrumental methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Many organic reactions have carbocation intermediates. These carbocations are relatively short-lived and are transient intermediates which are rarely isolated unless they are isolated in a molecular cage using a macromolecule or in superacids.

By intensive study, scientists can proof or disprove the authenticity of any proposed mechanism.

We must know that a transition state has partial bonds. It is often an extremely short-lived specie which cannot be isolated.

A fossil was analyzed and determined to have a carbon-14 level that is 70 % that of living organisms. The half-life of C-14 is 5
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: 2948

Explanation:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}

k=\frac{0.69}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}=\frac{0.693}{5730}=1.21\times 10^{-4}years^{-1}

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = 1.21\times 10^{-4}years^{-1}

t = age of sample  = ?

a = let initial amount of the reactant  = 100

a - x = amount left after decay process = \frac{70}{100}\times 100=70

t=\frac{2.303}{1.21\times 10^{-4}}\log\frac{100}{70}

t=2948years

Thus the fossil is 2948 years old.

An object has a mass of 45.0 g and a volume of 4.0 ml. what is its density?
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>11.25 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

Density =  \frac{mass}{volume}

From the question

mass = 45 g

volume = 4 mL

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the density

We have

Density =  \frac{45}{4}

We have the final answer as

<h3>11.25 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you
