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.

What is the change in density if a sample goes from 3.21 g/L to 5.43 g/mL?
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

\Delta \rho =2.22 g/mL

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since a change in science is widely known to be considered as a subtraction between the the final and initial values of two measured variables and is represented via Δ, here the final density is 5.43 g/mL and the initial one was 3.21 g/mL, therefore, the change in density is:

\Delta \rho=\rho _f-\rho _i\\ \\\Delta \rho=5.43g/mL-3.21g/mL\\\\\Delta \rho =2.22 g/mL

Best regards.

What is the mass of a sample of metal that is heated from 58.8°C to 88.9°C with a
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 333 \ grams}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find the mass of a sample of metal. We are given temperatures, specific heat, and joules of heat, so we will use the following formula.

Q= mc \Delta T

The heat added is 4500.0 Joules. The mass of the sample is unknown. The specific heat is 0.4494 Joules per gram degree Celsius. The difference in temperature is found by subtracting the initial temperature from the final temperature.

  • ΔT= final temperature - initial temperature

The sample was heated <em>from </em> 58.8 degrees Celsius to 88.9 degrees Celsius.

  • ΔT= 88.9 °C - 58.8 °C = 30.1 °C

Now we know three variables:

  • Q= 4500.0 J
  • c= 0.4494 J/g°C
  • ΔT = 30.1 °C

Substitute these values into the formula.

4500.0 \ J = m (0.4494 \ J/g \textdegree C)(30.1 \textdegree C)

Multiply on the right side of the equation. The units of degrees Celsius cancel.

4500.0 \ J = m (13.52694 J/g)

We are solving for the mass, so we must isolate the variable m. It is being multiplied by 13.52694 Joules per gram. The inverse operation of multiplication is division, so we divide both sides by 13.52694 J/g

\frac {4500.0 \ J }{13.52694 J/g}= \frac{m (13.52694 J/g)}{13.52694 J/g}

The units of Joules cancel.

\frac {4500.0 \ J }{13.52694 J/g}= m

332.6694729 \ g =m

The original measurements have 5,4, and 3 significant figures. Our answer must have the least number or 3. For the number we found, that is the ones place. The 6 in the tenth place tells us to round the 2 up to a 3.

333 \ g \approx m

The mass of the sample of metal is approximately <u>333 grams.</u>

What orbits from a pi bond
mixer [17]

A pi bond is a bond formed by the overlap of orbitals in a side-by-side fashion with the electron density concentrated above and below the plane of the nuclei of the bonding atoms. ... Three sigma bonds are formed from each carbon atom for a total of six sigma bonds total in the molecule.
