Chapter 3, Problem 3.5P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The fraction of collisions that have energies between $3$ and $5\text{kcal/mol}$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The molecular collision theory states that the efficient particles of the molecule collide with each other then only some fraction of collision will do the effective change in the molecule. The sufficient energy that can be possessed by an effective collision is known as activation energy.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The fraction of collisions that have energies greater than $5\text{kcal/mol}$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The molecular collision theory states that the efficient particles of the molecule collide with each other then only some fraction of collision will do the effective change in the molecule. The sufficient energy that can be possessed by an effective collision is known as activation energy.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The fraction with energies greater than $0\text{kcal/mol}$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The molecular collision theory states that the efficient particles of the molecule collide with each other then only some fraction of collision will do the effective change in the molecule. The sufficient energy that can be possessed by an effective collision is known as activation energy.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The fraction with energies $8\text{kcal/mol}$ or greater is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The molecular collision theory states that the efficient particles of the molecule collide with each other then only some fraction of collision will do the effective change in the molecule. The sufficient energy that can be possessed by an effective collision is known as activation energy.

(e)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The fraction of molecules that have an energy greater than $E_{\text{A}}$ if the activation energy, $E_{\text{A}}$ is $8\text{kcal/mol}$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The molecular collision theory states that the efficient particles of the molecule collide with each other then only some fraction of collision will do the effective change in the molecule. The sufficient energy that can be possessed by an effective collision is known as activation energy.

(f)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The shape of the curve $f\left(E,T\right)$ versus $E$ for the second graph, if temperature were increased to $400\text{}\text{K}$ is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:
