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

I NEED HELP PLEASE!!!! CHEMISTRY QUESTION: If 38 g of Li3P and 15 grams of Al2O3 are reacted, what total mass of products will r
maksim [4K]

Answer:

21.5 g.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the reaction between the given compounds is:

2Li_3P+Al_2O_3\rightarrow 3Li_2O+2AlP

We can see that according to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction, the total mass of products equals the total mass of reactants based on the stoichiometric proportions; in such a way, we first need to compute the reacted moles of Li3P as shown below:

n_{Li_3P}^{reacted}=38gLi_3P*\frac{1molLi_3P}{51.8gLi_3P}=0.73molLi_3P

Now, the moles of Li3P consumed by 15 g of Al2O3:

n_{Li_3P}^{consumed \ by \ Al_2O_3}=15gAl_2O_3*\frac{1molAl_2O_3}{101.96gAl_2O_3} *\frac{2molLi_3P}{1molAl_2O_3} =0.29molLi_3P

Thus, we infer that just 0.29 moles of 0.73 react to form products; which means that the mass of formed products is:

m_{Li_2O}=0.29molLi_3P*\frac{3molLi_2O}{2molLi_3P} *\frac{29.88gLi_2O}{1molLi_2O} =13gLi_2O\\\\m_{AlP}=0.29molLi_3P*\frac{2molAlP}{2molLi_3P} *\frac{57.95gAlP}{1molAlP} =8.5gAlP

Therefore, the total mass of products is:

m_{products}=13g+8.5g\\\\m_{products}=21.5g

Which is not the same to the reactants (53 g) because there is an excess of Li₃P.

Best Regards!

indicate whether the entropy of the system increases or decreases. Mixing 10 mL of 90.0 °C water with 10 mL of 10 °C water. The
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

When the water is mixed with water at lower temperature the effective temperature of the system (i.e the water at lower temperature) will increase, thereby increasing it's entropy

Explanation:

The answer that "the entropy will is increases" is correct as:

The water at 90° C i.e at higher temperature is mixed with the water at 10° C i.e the water at the lower temperature.

The water at lower temperature will have molecules with lower energy while the water with higher temperature will have molecules undergoing high thermal collisions. Thereby, when the water is mixed with water at lower temperature the effective temperature of the system (i.e the water at lower temperature) will increase, thereby increasing it's entropy.

Therefore, the answer is correct with respect to the water at lower temperature.

Meanwhile, for the water at higher temperature , the temperature of the system will decrease. Thus, the entropy of the water at higher level will decrease.
