(a)
Interpretation:
The expected shape of raindrops is to be stated. The explanation for the corresponding answer is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Surface tension is the tension of a liquid surface that causes due to the attraction of liquid particles in the liquid surface by the liquid particle present in the bulk of the liquid. The surface tension tries to attain minimum surface area. The formula of surface tension is given by the expression shown below.
(b)
Interpretation:
The shape of a distorted raindrop is to be predicted.

- How to calculate the root mean square speed of a sulfur dioxide molecule (in ms-1) at a temperature of 566.0K. Assume that the gas behaves ideally and enter your answer in scientific notation.arrow_forwardDescribe the kinds of molecular motion that a molecule can process?arrow_forwardMatch the following statements with the proper attractive forcearrow_forward
- How is this absorption of light related to the molecular shape of the atmospheric gases? Their symmetry? Theirpolarity?arrow_forwardRestate the assumptions of the kinetic molecular theory.arrow_forwardDescribe in your own words the Kinetic Molecular Theory of gases. The Kinetic Molecular Theory of gases tells us that the energy content of any gas is related only to its temperature. It also tells us that it is possible to compute the "RMS" (root mean squared) velocity of any gas molecule if you know its formula weight and its temperature. Using this information describe how you might compute the RMS velocity of sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the atmosphere of the planet Venus (T = 820 F), the RMS velocity of oxygen (O2) in the atmosphere of Earth (T = 50 F), or the RMS velocity of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere of Mars (T = - 80 F).arrow_forward
- is this correct, explainarrow_forwardsmoke particles in air typically have masses of the order of 10^-16 kg. The rapid, irregular motions of these particles caused by collisions with air molecules can be observed with a microscope. Assume a particular type of smoke particle has a mass of 3.00 x10^-16 kg and is in a room with a temperature of 300 K. a) if instead you were considering a hydrogen gas molecule (m= 3.34x10^-26 kg) at 300 K, would the average translational kinetic energy be larger than, smaller than or equal to that of the smoke particle? b) would the rms speed of the hydrogen atom be larger than, smaller than, or equal to that of the smoke particle?arrow_forwardIf your answer is from the internet include the references and write your own understanding. Identify if it's directly or inversely. 2. Relationship between intermolecular forces and pressure.arrow_forward
- The root mean square speed of CO at 113 C is ______ m/s a) 1.84 b) 58.3 c) 586 d) 993 e) 18.5arrow_forwardwhat will happen to the root mean square speed If the kinetic energy of ideal gas and volume occupied increases ? Will it increase, decrease or does not change?arrow_forward#20 A small (but heavy) particle placed in a glass of water will follow a zigzag motion because the particle will bounce off of the water molecules it meets. This is called Brownian motion. A physicist simulates this on a computer, by varying the distance a particle can travel (called the mean free length), on average, before it collides with a water molecule and assigning the change in motion to be one of 8 directions, each with a similar probability. By running the simulated particle (with the same mean free length) many times she determines that it should take 15 seconds, on average, for the particle to fall to the bottom, with a standard deviation of 1.5 seconds. Next she lets a real particle fall through a glass of water and finds that it took 18 seconds. What does she conclude, and why?arrow_forward
