How can the number of effective collisions be increased?
OAdd more water because then there will be more room for the molecules to get
oriented correctly.
Be sure you are mixing two solids, because then the particles will have more
kinetic energy.
Lower the temperature because that way the collision will last longer.
Increase the total number of collisions.
According to the kinetic-molecular theory of gases: gaseous particles are in constant, nonlinear motion at constant temperature, all particles have equal translational kinetic energy the faster a given particle is moving, the greater its translational kinetic energy at constant temperature, average kinetic energy is a function of gas volume all interparticle collisions are completely inelastic
2)
Explain the origin of the "a" term in the van der Waals equation.
Which has the lower "a" constant in the van der Waals, ethane or methanol? Explain why.

At the top of Mt Everest, there is decreased atmospheric pressure and decreased temperature. How will the decreased pressure and temperature affect the air that a mountain climber is breathing? A) Decreased pressure decreases the amount of air molecules per breath whereas the decreased temperature increases the speed of the air molecules per breath, so this has no impact on mountain climbers. B) Decreased temperature and high altitude result in decreased air pressure. This results in a decreased number of air molecules per breath, which means mountain climbers often must carry oxygen tanks. C) Decreased pressure increases the number of air molecules per breath and the decreased temperature also increases the number of air molecules per breath, which means mountain climbers often must carry oxygen tanks.arrow_forward
