Question

7. Answer the following true/false questions about any general, arbitrary reaction. a. as reactant particles approach each other before a collision, the potential energy goes down while the b. as particles of newly formed products move away from one another, the potential energy goes down, c. as reactant molecules approach each other, they exert attractive forces on each other. Thus, as they move kinetic energy goes up. while the kinetic energy goes up together, their speed decreases and their Potential Energy increases.

Explanation / Answer

7. a As the reactant particle approach each other before a collison the potential energy first decreases and as reactant molecules come more closer then potential energy starts to increase and correspondigly kinetic energy first increases and then increases.

So option given is false.

b.as newly formed products which are stable go away from each othen then unstability will increase due to which potential energy increases and kinetic energy decreases.

so given option is false.

c.as reactant molecules approach each other ,they exert attractive forces each other so as they move together potential energy wil decrease because of attractive foreces which will try to make them stablise and so in turn kinetic energy will increase in order to keep the energy of system constant.

so given option is false.
