Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The dependence of mean free path on density has to be discussed.
Concept Introduction:
The collisions among molecules and with the ramparts are completely elastic so that there is no loss of kinetic energy in the collisions. The size of the molecules is considerably small compared to the standard distance traversed by a molecule between any two consecutive collisions.
(b)
Interpretation:
The dependence of mean free path on temperature at constant volume has to be discussed.

(c)
Interpretation:
The dependence of mean free path on pressure at constant temperature has to be discussed.

- A mixture of C7H12O2, C9H9OCl, biphenyl and acetone was put together in a gas chromatography tube. Please decide from the GC resutls which correspond to the peak for C7,C9 and biphenyl and explain the reasoning based on GC results. Eliminate unnecessary peaks from Gas Chromatography results.arrow_forwardIs the molecule chiral, meso, or achiral? CI .CH3 H₂C CIarrow_forwardPLEASE HELP ! URGENT!arrow_forward
