Gases take the shape of their container. When you have a large container, the spaces between molecules (particles) can be further apart than if they were close together. In small containers, the particles are forced to be closer together, or compressed.
Think of it like a pep rally in a gym v.s. a classroom. In the gym, everyone has a bit of wiggle room. With the same number of people in a classroom, everyone would need to be packed in there. This can also explain why a smaller pot over boils from steam before a larger one does, even if the amount of water is the same.
<span>A solution is somthing desolved in somthing else. By desolved i mean it needs to have some particals ionized a solid you place in water that dissosiates (ions split apart from each other) makes a solution a good solution you can make in your kitchen is a salt-water solution, Put some regular table salt in a glass and stir it and you will notice the salt "disapears" what happens is the sodium ions and the chloride Ions seperate and 'hide' between water molocules.
In basic terms only some substances can make a solutions others are refered to as insoluble as they can't be seperated in water or another solvent. In actuality however all ionic compounds (compounds that are composed of ions) are at least somewhat soluble, but don't dissociate well at all in some solvents.

The three beams on a triple beam balance all are different. Each beam should have a differnet unit of measurement. For example, one beam may count in 100's and the other beam may count in 10's and the last beam may count in 1's.
<span>The Greenland ice sheet is a vast body of ice covering 1,710,000 square kilometers, roughly 80% of the surface of Greenland. It is the second largest ice body in the world, after the Antarctic ice sheet.</span><span />
The answer is 57.14%.
First we need to calculate molar mass of <span>NaHCO3. Molar mass is mass of 1 mole of a substance. It is the sum of relative atomic masses, which are masses of atoms of the elements.
Relative atomic mass of Na is 22.99 g
</span><span>Relative atomic mass of H is 1 g
</span><span>Relative atomic mass of C is 12.01 g
</span><span>Relative atomic mass of O is 16 g.
</span>
Molar mass of <span>NaHCO3 is:
22.99 g + 1 g + 12.01 g + 3 </span>· <span>16 g = 84 g
Now, mass of oxygen in </span><span>NaHCO3 is:
3 </span>· 16 g = 48 g
mass percent of oxygen in <span>NaHCO3:
48 g </span>÷ 84 g · 100% = 57.14%
Therefore, <span>the mass percent of oxygen in sodium bicarbonate is 57.14%.</span>
