why do solids keep their shape and volume why do liquids keep only volume and why do gases not keep either shape or volume

Solids always have definite shape and definite volume because their particles are packed together. Liquids have a definite volume but not definite shape, because their particles still kinda tight but able to move around, and gases don’t have a definite shape nor volume, because their particles are crazy and go everywhere

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

a) 2.541 mol/MJ;

b) 1.124 mol/MJ;

c) 0.4354 mol/MJ;

d) 0.1835 mol/MJ

Explanation:

The enthalpy of formation (ΔH°f) is the enthalpy of a reaction to form a compound by its constituents. For CO₂, ΔH°f = - 393.5 kJ/mol.

The enthalpy of a reaction is the sum of the enthalpy of the products (each one multiplied by the number of moles) less the sum of the enthalpy of the reactants (each one multiplied by the number of moles). The ΔH°f for simple substances (with one atom) is 0. The combustion is the reaction between the fuel and the oxygen.

a) The combution reaction is:

C(s) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g)

ΔH°rxn = -393.5 kJ/mol = -393.5x10⁻³ MJ/mol

Number of moles per MJ released: 1/|ΔH°rxn|

n = 1/(393.5x10⁻³) = 2.541 mol/MJ

b) The combustion reaction is:

CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l)

H₂O is in the liquid state because it's at 1 atm and 25ºC.

ΔH°f, H₂O(l) = -285.3 kJ/mol

ΔH°f, O₂(g) = 0

ΔH°f, CH₄(g) = -74.8 kJ/mol

ΔH°rxn = [2*(-285.3 ) + 1*(-393.5)] - [1*(-74.8)]

ΔH°rxn = -889.3 kJ/mol = -889.3x10⁻³ MJ/mol

n = 1/889.3x10⁻³ = 1.124 mol/MJ

c) C₃H₈(g) + 10O₂(g) → 3CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(l)

ΔH°f,C₃H₈(g) = -25.2 kJ/mol

ΔH°rxn = [4*(-285.3) + 3*(-393.5)] - [1*(-25.2)]

ΔH°rxn = -2,296.5 kJ/mol = -2.2965 MJ/mol

n = 1/2.2965 = 0.4354 mol/MJ

d) C₈H₁₈(l) + (25/2)O₂(g) → 8CO₂(g) + 9H₂O(l)

ΔH°f, C₈H₁₈(l) = -250.1 kJ/mol

ΔH°rxn = [9*(-283.5) + 8*(-393.5)] - [1*(-250.1)]

ΔH°rxn = -5,449.4 kJ/mol = -5.4494 MJ/mol

n = 1/5.4494 = 0.1835 mol/MJ

Cierta cantidad de hidrogeno esta encerrada en una camara de platino a volumen constante. Cuando la camara se sumerge en un baño
salantis [7]

Answer:

-245.7°C es la temperatura del gas bajo 100 torr

Explanation:

Para resolver esta pregunta debemos hacer uso de la ley de Boyle que establece que la presión de un gas es directamente proporcional a la temperatura de este cuando el volumen permanece constante. La ecuación es:

P1T2 = P2T1

<em>Donde P es presión y T temperatura absoluta del estado inicial, 1, y final, 2.</em>

<em />

Reemplazando:

P1 = 1000torr

T2 = ? -Incógnita-

P2 = 100torr

T1 = 273K -Temperatura del hielo fundido = 0°C = 273K

1000torrT2 = 100torr273

T2 = 27.3K

27.3K - 273 =

Lactose, C12H22O11, is a naturally occurring sugar found in mammalian milk. A 0.335 M solution of lactose in water has a density
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The molality of the solution is 0.00037 m.

<h3>What is concentration?</h3>

The term concentration refers to the amount of solute in a solution.

We have the following information;

Molarity = 0.335 M

Density =  1.0432 g/mL

Temperature = 20 o C

The molality of the solution is obtained from;

m = 0.335 M ×  1.0432 g/mL/ 1000(1.0432 g/mL) - 0.335 M (342 g/mol)

m = 0.344/1043.2 - 114.57

m =  0.344/928.63

m = 0.00037 m

I'm doing this Forensics class, Someone please help!

<span>pharmacokinetics

       This question is simply a matter of knowing the definition of terms being used in your class. So let's look at the 4 options and see what makes sense. spectrometry * This is the determination of elements based upon the light spectrum associated with the elements. It can be either an emission spectrum you get by energizing the substance under test, or an absorption spectrum to see what wavelengths the substance absorbs. But in either case, this doesn't make sense in the statement, so it's a wrong answer. LD50 * This terms means "Lethal Dose 50%" which is the amount of the substance needed such that half of the creatures that receive that dose die. In the context of the statement, this doesn't make sense, so it's a wrong answer. pharmacokinetics * This is the study of how drugs move through the body and are metabolized. This sounds like something that makes sense for the statement in the question, so it's most likely the correct answer. Let's see what the next choice is. chromatography * This is a laboratory method of separating substances using differential rates of diffusion. This doesn't make sense given the statement in the question, so it's a wrong choice. So of the 4 available choices, 3 of them do not make sense given the statement in question and the only one that does make sense is "pharmacokinetics"</span>
