Help Collision Theory

OpenStudy (palindromeman):

Which is true The collision theory states that all particles are in constant motion and that the higher temperature and finer solute particles allow more collisions with the solvent. The collision theory states that all particles are in constant motion and that the higher temperature and larger solute particles allow more collisions with the solvent. The collision theory states that all particles are in constant motion and that the lower temperature and larger solute particles allow more collisions with the solvent.

@Phebe can you help with this?

OpenStudy (phebe):

shure! XD

OpenStudy (phebe):

ohh wait this chemistry right

OpenStudy (palindromeman):

yep

OpenStudy (phebe):

ohhh myyy lolzz i dont rly lik chemistry but im taking the class so ill help

OpenStudy (palindromeman):

ok well me either, I know it is A or B

OpenStudy (palindromeman):

I am not sure whether the finer particles or larger particles would create more collisions

OpenStudy (phebe):

yah i was thinkng more A but hold up

OpenStudy (phebe):

Collision theory is a theory proposed independently by Max Trautz in 1916 and William Lewis in 1918, that qualitatively explains how chemical reactions occur and why reaction rates differ for different reactions.

OpenStudy (phebe):

i think A what u think?

OpenStudy (palindromeman):

I think B because they are bigger?

OpenStudy (palindromeman):

hold on

OpenStudy (phebe):

yeahh thats tru

OpenStudy (phebe):

it might be B

OpenStudy (phebe):

Consider a simple reaction involving a collision between two molecules - ethene, CH2=CH2, and hydrogen chloride, HCl, for example. These react to give chloroethane. As a result of the collision between the two molecules, the double bond between the two carbons is converted into a single bond. A hydrogen atom gets attached to one of the carbons and a chlorine atom to the other.

Thank you!

OpenStudy (phebe):

welcome! so did it help

OpenStudy (palindromeman):

yep!

OpenStudy (phebe):

WELCOME!! <3
