Use the postulates of the kinetic theory to explain the following: i)Matter can exist in three states ii)The pressure exerted by a confined gas decreases as its temperature is lowered iii)A gas of low molecular mass will diffuse through air faster than a gas of high molecular masseven though both are at same temperature. The Kinetic Theory can be used to describe the three physical states of matter namely‚ solid‚ liquid and gas. In this theory‚ some basic assumptions has to be made: a) all matter

Theme : Electrical Sector and Chemical Engineer a) “The Chemical Engineer – His Role in Electrical Manufacturing” by N.R. Maleady The article is about the role of chemical engineer in manufacturing transformers in the electrical manufacturing sector. The important components of the transformer are copper wire‚ cellulosic insulation‚ insulating varnish and dielectric liquid. Wire enamel or resin is the insulting structure for copper wire. The resin can either applied as a solution or in solventless

Three things are usually required for a chemical explosion: a chemical reaction that occurs very rapidly‚ a large increase in gas pressure‚ and a confined-reaction vessel in which the pressure of the gaseous products can increase to a point that the gases break violently out of the container. In this chemistry and physics science fair project‚ you will use the combustion of ethanol to provide energy for a small explosion. The chemical equation that describes the combustion of ethanol is shown below

Abstract The main goal of the enzyme kinetics experiment was to see how the phosphatase-catalyzed hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl produced p-nitrophenol in the presence of phosphate and fluoride ion inhibitors of various concentrations. The calculated Km constant was found to be 0.22 for all reactions. The Vmax values for each inhibition ion were 0.00986 for the phosphate ion and 0.00436 for the fluoride ion. The inhibitor constant‚ Ki‚ was determined to be 0.0967 for the phosphate ion. The inhibitor

an object. An example of a physical property of an object would be the color‚ mass‚ solubility‚ volume‚ or the polarity of an object. A physical property can change the appearance of an object‚ but that does not mean that the chemical composition has to change. The chemical composition can remain the same. Physical properties are separated into two different categories. They are separated in to intrinsic properties and extrinsic properties. Extrinsic properties rely on the amount of material

Melissa Cavanaugh Lab: Tuesdays at 1pm Enzyme Kinetics Lab Introduction: Enzymes are proteins that will catalyze reactions to make the rate of the reaction occur faster than it would without. It can also make the reaction occur in the first place. Tyrosinase is an enzyme that has a variety of functions and activities. It produces pigments like melanin and others that would be apparent when a fruit is cut in half and it browns. (Bien-etre 3).There is that one function that stands out and the enzyme

Characteristics of Gases Section 10-1 The Kinetic-Molecular Theory of Matter Prerequisites The kinetic-molecular theory is based on the idea that particles of matter are always in motion. The theory can be used to explain the properties of solids‚ liquids‚ and gases in terms of the energy of particles and the forces that act between them. ideal gas: an imaginary gas that perfectly fits all the assumption of the kinetic-molecular theory.
