The physical state that best describes the scientist's sample is solid (option C).

<h3>What are the states of matter?</h3>

Matter refers to any substance that has mass and occupies space. The states of matter are as follows;

  • Solids; a substance in the fundamental state of matter that retains its size and shape without need of a container.
  • Gases; a matter in a state intermediate between liquid and plasma that can be contained only if it is fully surrounded by a solid
  • Liquids; substance that is flowing such as water; Liquids readily change their relative position, and which therefore retains no definite shape, except that determined by the containing receptacle.

According to this question, a scientist observed a sample of an unknown material to have molecules that are packed closely together and have fixed positions in space relative to each other. It has resistance to deformation and change of volume.

This description best fits the solid state of matter.

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Overuse of antibiotics leads to bacteria's resistance against our drugs. This is increasing at an alarming rate and the reason is that overuse of antibiotics kills bacteria that lack the "resistance" gene or gene that can help them survive the antibiotics (similar is the case for insects that die to insecticides). But, some bacteria can have random mutations in their gene that can help them survive the antibiotic (similar is the case for some insects that can survive the insecticide), thus the surviving bacteria give rise to next generation of bacteria that are resistant to the given antibiotic (similar to how insects that survive the insecticide give birth to new insects that are resistant to insecticide too). Soon, every generation adds new antibiotic resistant bacteria (or new insecticide resistant insects in the case of insects) which is dangerous for all of life on this planet. Therefore, both are similar in the sense that new generations of these organisms will be resistant to our weapons against them.

What is the molecular formula of a compound that molecular mass of 54 g/mol and an empirical formula of C₂H₃? C₂H₃, C₄H₆, C₆H₉,
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Molecular formula = C₄H₆

Explanation:

Given data:

Molecular mass of compound = 54 g/mol

Empirical formula = C₂H₃

Molecular formula = ?

Solution:

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

Empirical formula mass = 12×2 + 3×1 = 27 g/mol

n = 54 / 27

n = 2

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular  formula = 2(C₂H₃)

Molecular formula = C₄H₆
