    Concerning Elastic collisions and Kinetic energy

    Oh, It isn't there in Resnick, so no wonder. I, personally, don't prefer using Verma.. I'll have a look, but. thanks. I'm in 12th too, btw.

    Proof of Gauss's law using coulomb's law

    Actually, you can use an arbitrary surface in this derivation. d\Omega is the solid angle subtended by the surface dS at the point where the charge q is placed. \intd\Omega is the solid angle subtentded at the charge by the entire surface. it's value is 4\Pi

    Concerning Elastic collisions and Kinetic energy

    Homework Statement A ball of mass 2m is moving with a velocity Vo collides elastically and head-on with another ball of mass m at rest. Find the minimum kinetic energy of the system. Homework Equations K = 1/2 mv2 The Attempt at a Solution I personally do not understand what is...

    Equilibrium constant changes with pressure?

    I'd like to point out that it is, -{\frac{\Delta G^0}{RT}} The answer to the question lies in the Le Chatelier Principle itself. For example take the reaction, A + B \rightleftharpoons C + D The equilibrium constant is, Keq = \frac{[C][D]}{[A][B]} Now at a given temperature, if you...

    Gibb's Free Energy: Spontaneous Reactions at High Temperatures

    Theoretically, it is. But since you cannot achieve such a temperature, it has no practical significance.

    Gibbs Free Energy: Queries & Answers

    Equilibrium can be viewed as compromise between two opposing tendency of the system: 1. to attain minimum energy (enthalpy) 2. of maximum molecular chaos (entropy) remember this equation, \DeltaG=\DeltaH-T\DeltaS where \DeltaH is the enthalpy change, \DeltaS is the entropy change, and T is...

    Clarification on Frictional Forces?

    Frictional force acts on a body due it's interactions with the surface on which it rests. So, when you apply a force on the body, there results an opposing force due to these interactions; the body being static all the while, the force is due to static friction. It is experimentally found that...

    What is the reaction order of SN1

    As a your teacher says, that the leaving group will leave spontaneously in the appropriate solvent. So that isn't good enough to generalisation that all SN1 reactions are of zeroth order. But let's assume that the Formation of the carbocation,i.e, the rate-determining step, is spontaneous. Then...

    Huckel's rule for Aromaticity-what is n?

    True, n is just any integer, but it has to signify sumthing! i mean, come on, we're talking science, you can't just use any 'n' straightway without challenging its credibility. Yes, it's true that there are hardly few books which mention what 'n' is. I don't think it's there even in Morrison...
