Question

Please help me answer this question with a good explanation. It is a physical chemistry question, so I need the help of a physical chemistry expert and it is due in a few hours. Please help me by responding by giving a lot of details on this subject because my professor likes long and detailed answers. My grade depends on this, please help. Thank you.

(20 points) The paragraph below was taken from parts of the abstract of a paper in a biological journal. Biologists have recently rediscovered a classical model from physics predicting collision rates in an ideal gas. The models, and their two-dimensional analogues, have been used to predict rates and durations of encounters among animals or social groups that move randomly and independently, given population density, velocity, and distance at which an encounter occurs They have been used to estimate the impact of population density, speeds of movement, and size on rates of encounter between members of the opposite sex, between gametes, between predators and prey, and between observers and the individuals they are counting Provide a critique of these biological applications of Kinetic Theory. Consider the following questions . Are the applications realistic? . Are the assumptions on which kinetic theory is based valid for these systems? .If the assumptions are NOT valid, o how would that affect these applications o Could their models be corrected to overcome the problem? If so how? spond with a letter to the editor explaining in detail your concerns, and what a correct Res application, is one exists, would be.

Explanation / Answer

Ans-

(A)the application is not realistic as the speed of organisms, impact of population and other things will never remains the same and also the encounter between population are not random so there will be no or very less chances of the application to be realistic.

(B) no the basic assumption of kinetic theory are not valid for this paragraph because in kinetic theory the various factor a gas remains constant or already known but the activities of different organisms can never be same.

C) the results will not get vary with the changing in the value of different parameters if the assumption were not valid.

D) yes this can be performed after correction but it may be possible after observing the complete protocol of the model.
