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.

Aluminum metal reacts with bromine, a red-brown liquid with a noxious odor. The reaction is vigorous and produces aluminum bromi

GuDViN [60]

Answer: The mass of bromine reacted is 160.6 grams.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of aluminium = 18.1 g

Molar mass of aluminium = 27 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of aluminium}=\frac{18.1g}{27g/mol}=0.670mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of aluminium and bromide follows:

$2Al+3Br_2\rightarrow 2AlBr_3$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of aluminium reacts with 3 moles of bromine gas

So, 0.670 moles of aluminium will react with = $\frac{3}{2}\times 0.670=1.005mol$ of bromine gas.

Now, calculating the mass of bromine gas, we use equation 1:

Moles of bromine gas = 1.005 moles

Molar mass of bromine gas = 159.81 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.005mol=\frac{\text{Mass of bromine}}{159.81g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of bromine}=(1.005mol\times 159.81g/mol)=160.6g$

Hence, the mass of bromine reacted is 160.6 grams.

A solution contains 72.0 g of HCI and 468 g of (C6H6). what is the mole fraction of benzene

erica [24]

Molar mass (MM) of benzene C6H6
C = 6 * 12 = 72u
H = 6 * 1 = 6u
MM C6H6 = 72 + 6 = 78 g / mol
Benzene - Molar Mass = 78 g --------- 1 mol
Of A Mix has 468 g -------------- x

78x = 468
X = 468/78
X = 6 moles

Molar mass (MM) of Hydrochloric Acid HCl H = 1 * 1 = 1u
CI = 1 * 35 = 35u
MM HCl = 1 + 35 = 36 g / mol

Hydrochloric Acid - Molar Mass = 36 g ---------- 1 mol
Of A Mix has 72 g ------------ y

36y = 72
Y = 72/36
Y = 2 moles

Thus, a mixture has a total of 8 moles (6 mol + 2 mol).
Dividing One Mole Amount of Each Substance by the Number of Total Mole Amounts, Then we will obtain a Molar Fraction of Each:
Molar fraction make benzene = (6/8) simplify 2 = 3/4
Molar Fraction to make Hydrochloric Acid = (2/8) = simplify 2 = 1/4

Note:. The sum of the molar fractions of the always give goes 1, we have: 3/4 + 1/4 = 1

ANSWER:
 $\boxed{\frac{3}{4}}$
