∙ 11y agoThe Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT) explains changes of state by describing how the motion and interactions of molecules change as temperature or pressure is altered. For example, when a substance is heated, the molecules gain kinetic energy and move faster, leading to a change from a solid to a liquid or a liquid to a gas. Similarly, increasing pressure can compress gases and cause them to change from a gas to a liquid or solid state.
No, it is a physical change because the molecules of sucrose are not altered, just suspended in a solvent.
Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity, while kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. Kinetic energy can be converted into other forms of energy, such as potential energy or thermal energy, because it is a form of energy associated with motion. Momentum, being a vector quantity, represents the object's motion and direction, so it is conserved in isolated systems and cannot be converted into other forms of energy.
Yes, ripping your notebook is a physical change because the substance (paper) remains the same, only its shape has been altered. The paper molecules are not chemically altered during the ripping process.
No, the total mechanical energy of bumper cars is not conserved because energy is transferred as cars collide and change their speeds or directions. The kinetic energy of the cars is converted to other forms of energy, such as sound and heat, during collisions.
II. The distance between the molecules.
Molecules of air are mainly nitrogen and oxygen, N2 and O2. The '2' subscript means each molecule contains two atoms. The molecules themselves do not change with changes in energy, pressure, temperature etc. I'm not sure what you mean by potential energy turning into kinetic energy. I can visualise one route, where you have air pressurised in a container, then you release the pressure and the air rushes out, gaining kinetic energy. In this case the molecules of air will soon collide with the air that they are going into and be slowed down until mixed and at the same pressure and temperature. The density of the air will be lower than it was in the pressurised container. This means not so many molecules in a unit volume, so their mean distance apart will be greater. If that is what you mean by 'expand' then I agree, but the molecules themselves are not altered.
proteins
Molecules can change states of matter through the processes of melting, freezing, vaporization, condensation, and sublimation. These changes in state occur when the temperature or pressure of the substance is altered, causing the molecules to rearrange in a way that transitions the substance from one state to another.

When a protein's shape is altered, it may lose its functionality. This can disrupt its ability to interact with other molecules and carry out its specific biological functions. The altered protein may also be targeted for degradation by the cell's quality control mechanisms.

After the enzyme has converted the substrate to the product, it is now free to accept more substrate. The enzyme does not get changed or altered in a reaction.
The distance is the same no matter what driving speed is used, only the driving time is altered.
A isometry is a transformation where distance (aka size) is preserved. In a dilation, the size is being altered, so no, it is not an isometry.
To yield a compound that is fully active, a molecule of vitamin D must be chemically altered by kidney and liver tissues. In the liver, it's converted to calcidiol, and in the kidneys, to calcitriol.
