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.

9. Suppose that 25.0 mL of a gas at 725 mm Hg and 20°C is converted to standard
storchak [24]

Answer:

V₂ = 22.23 mL

Explanation:

According to general gas equation:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

Given data:

Initial volume = 25 mL

Initial pressure = 725 mmHg (725/760 =0.954 atm)

Initial temperature = 20 °C (20 +273 = 293 K)

Final pressure = standard = 1 atm

Final temperature = standard = 273.15 K

Final volume = ?

Solution:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

V₂ = P₁V₁ T₂/ T₁  P₂

V₂ = 0.954 atm × 25 mL × 273.15 K / 293 K × 1 atm

V₂ =  6514.63 mL . atm . K  / 293 K . atm

V₂ = 22.23 mL

Although si is an insulator then how does it behave as semiconductor upon heating
soldier1979 [14.2K]
A semiconductor's resistivity decreases with the increase in temperature.
More is the heat imparted to  it, it will behave more as an insulator.
