All energetically effective collisions do not result in a chemical change. Explain.

Assertion (A) All collision of reactant molecules lead to product formation. Reason (R) Only those collisions in which molecules have correct orientation and sufficent kinetic energy kinetic energy lead to compound formation.

If X is the total number of collisions that a gas molecule registers with other molecules per unit time under particular conditions, then what is the collision frequency of the gas containing N molecules per unit volume is ?

Assertion: A quick collision between two bodies is more violent that show collision , even when initial and final velocity are identical. Reason: The rate of change of momentum determine that force is small or large.

If the piston is moved so as to reduce the volume of gas by half keeping the temperature of gas constant, we know from the gas law that the pressure will be doubled. On microscopic level the increase in pressure on the piston is because A. momentum change per collision is doubled while the frequency of collision remains constant B. momentum change per collision remains constant while the frequency of collision is doubled C. momentum change per collision and the frquency of collision both are increased D. none of these two physical quantities are changed. It is due to some other reason.

The net enthalpy change of a reaction is the amount of energy required to break all the bonds in reactant molecules minus amount of energy required to form all the bonds in the product molecules. What will be the enthalpy change for the following reaction ? H_(2) (g) + Br_(2) (g) rarr 2HBr (g) . Given that, bond energy of H_(2), Br_(2) and HBr is 435 kJ mol^(-1), 192 kJ mol^(-1) and 368 kJ mol^(-1) respectively

Two particles, each having a mass m are placed at a separation d in a uniform magnetic field B as shown in they have opposite charges of equal magnitude q. at time t =0, the particles are projectd towards each other,each with a speed v. suppose the coulomb force between the charges is switched off. (a) Find the maximum value v_m of the projection speed so that the two particles do not collide. (b) What would be the minimum and maximum separation between the particles if v = v_m /2? (c) At what instant will a collision occur between the particles if v = 2v_m ? (d) Suppose v =2v_m and the collision between the particles is completely inelastic. Describe the motion after the collision.

Statement-1: In kinetic theory of gases, we do not take into account the change in gravitational potential energy of the molecules. Statement-2: The internal energy of a gas depends on the interaction between gas molecules. This interaction is not affected by the change in gravitational potential energy of the molecules.

The constant motion and high velocities of gas particles lead to some important practical consquences. One such consquences is that gases mix rapidly when they come in contact. Take the stopper off a bottle of perfume, for instance, and the odour will spread rapidly through the room as perfume molecules mix with the molecules in the air. This mixing of different gases by random molecular motion and with frequent collision is called diffusion. A similar process in which gas molecules escape without collision through a tiny hole into a vacuum is called effusion. Both the processes follow Graham's law which is mathematically put as r prop sqrt(1//d) . The average distance travelled by molecules between successive collisions is called mean free path. Answer the following questions on the basis of the above information: Select the correct statement(s).
