Collision Theory Illustration 1.2 -The following hypothetical chemical reaction illustrates the collision of the molecules of two gases‚ A2 and B2‚ to form another compound of AB. - Furthermore‚ the colliding species must be oriented in a manner favorable to the necessary rearrangement of atoms and electrons. Thus‚ according to the collision theory‚ the rate at which a chemical reaction proceeds is equal to the frequency of effective collisions. Because atomic or molecular

1) Introduction This Lab is about conservation of momentum. It is to investigate the difference of momentum before and after collisions. Using the photo gates record the velocity of each cart‚ comparing momentum and kinetic energy to find the law. The experimental apparatus are two red carts in approximately same weight and a gold cart in lower weight than the red ones‚ a stable air track (blow a constant stream of air out through numerous tiny holes) with low friction and two photo gates. 2) Project
