C.) They are held together loosely enough to flow, but not so loose that they expand

4 0

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Molecules in a liquid have less force of attraction as compared to solids. But liquid molecules have more force of attraction as compared to gases.

Since molecules of a gas are held together by weak Vander waal forces, therefore, they expand to fill the container whereas molecules in a liquid are not expanded in a container like gases because of more force of attraction within molecules of liquids as compared to gases.

Hence, a liquid can take the shape of container in which it is kept.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, a liquid change to take the shape of its container but NOT expand to fill the container itself because the particles of a liquid are held together loosely enough to flow, but not so loose that they expand.

Convert 22 ml in to liters
prisoha [69]

Answer:

0.022

Explanation:

milliter (ml) = 1 cubic centimeter (cc)= 0.001 liters (l) = 0.000001 cubic meters (m3).

1 ml = 0.061024 cubic inches (in3) ; 1 in3 = 16.4 ml.

1 ml = 0.000035 cubic feet (ft3); 1 ft3 = 28,317 ml.

1 ml = 2.64 x 10-4 U.S. gallons (gal); 1 gal = 4.55 x 103 ml.

In one experiment, the reaction of 1.00 mercury and an excess of sulfur yielded 1.16g of a sulfide of mercury
Nuetrik [128]

<u>Answer and Explanation:</u>

Mercury combines with sulfur as follows -

Hg + S = HgS

Hg = 200,59

S = 32,066 Therefore 1.58 g of Hg will react with -

1.58 multiply with 32,066 divide by 200,96 of sulfur.

= 0.25211 g S

This will form 1.58 + 0.25211 g HgS  = 1.83211 g HgS

The amount of S remaining = 1.10 - 0.25211  = 0.84789 g

Is the following a redox reaction? Explain.<br> NH₃(aq) + HCl(aq) → NH₄Cl(aq)
jeyben [28]

The process is not a redox reaction.

The reaction between ammonia (NH_{3} )and hydrochloric acid (HCl) to produce ammonium chloride (NH_{4} Cl) has modified the oxidation number of no atom in the reactants. As a base, ammonia interacts easily with hydrochloric acid to produce ammonium chloride salt. A neutralization reaction between an acid and a base is what the described process is, and it is NOT a redox reaction.

A reaction is referred to as a redox reaction if two or more reactants belonging to a single reaction exchange one or more electrons, i.e., one reactant releases one or more additional electrons while the other obtains one or additional electrons. The reacted substance that releases electrons is oxidized and becomes a reducing substance. A reduced oxidizing agent is the reactant that accepts electrons.
