Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In a solid, molecules are held together by strong intermolecular forces of attraction. As a result, they are unable to move from their initial place but they can vibrate at their mean position.  

Hence, in solid substances the molecules have low kinetic energy and they have fixed shape and volume.

In gases, the molecules are held by weak Vander waal forces. Hence, they have high kinetic energy due to which they move rapidly from one place to another leading to more number of collisions.  

Hence, gases are able to expand more rapidly as compared to liquids and solids.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement atoms of both are moving, is true about both a solid and a gas.

In any state of matter there is always motion in the atoms. So the answer would be C even though solids are together and gases atoms are spread out

When dissolved in water, all acids will
poizon [28]
When dissolved in water, acids donate hydrogen ions (H+). Hydrogen ions are hydrogen atoms that have lost an electron and now have just a proton, giving them a positive electrical charge. ... If a solution has a high concentration of H+ ions, then it is acidic.

The molar heat of fusion of gold is 12.550 kJ mol–1. At its melting point, how much mass of melted gold must solidify to release
KATRIN_1 [288]

The mass of melted gold to release the energy would be  3, 688. 8 Kg

<h3>How to determine the mass</h3>

The formula for quantity of energy is given thus;

Q = n × HF

Where n represents number of moles

HF  represents  heat of fusion

To find the number of moles, we have

235.0 = n × 12.550

number of moles = \frac{235}{12. 550} = 18. 725 moles

Note that molar mass of Gold is 197g/ mol

Let's note that;

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 18. 725 × 197

Mass = 3, 688. 8 Kg

Thus, the mass of melted gold to release the energy would be  3, 688. 8 Kg

Complete and balance the molecular equation, including the phases, for the reaction of aqueous potassium sulfate, k2so4, and aqu
Tju [1.3M]
The reaction between K₂SO₄(aq) and SrI₂(aq) produces KI(aq) and SrSO₄(s) as products. 

The reaction is 
K₂SO₄(aq) + SrI₂(aq) → KI(aq)+ SrSO₄(s) 

To balance the equation both side of the reaction should have same number of atoms in each element.

Right hand side of the reaction has 1 K, 1 I, 1 Sr, 1 S and 4 O atoms while 2 K, 2 I, 1 Sr,1 S and 4 O present in left hand side of the reaction. 
Hence, number of I atoms and number of K atoms are not balanced. 
To balance the K atoms we should add 2 before KI. Then I atoms will be 2 at the right hand side. 

Hence, the balanced reaction equation is
K₂SO₄(aq) + SrI₂(aq) → 2KI(aq)+ SrSO₄(s)
