One of the properties of a liquid is that, it's particles move freely (not tightly packed) hence the reason for it's free flowing (no definite shape) when shaken in a container, unlike a solid whose particles are tightly packed with restricted/no movement and hence the reason for it's compactness and it's definite shape.

When a plastic solid (whose particle is tightly packed and have a restricted movement/no movement) is placed near a heat source, it's particles gains energy in the process and starts to move (though slightly free) and become less tightly packed hence the reason it is observed that plastic solids near a heat source melts.

From the above, it can be deduced that a liquid and a plastic solid near a heat source have there particles move freely (and not tightly packed) hence making the two substances flow freely with no definite shape.

The boiling point of water is 1000C.

sergejj [24]

Answer:

a) The heat which we supply to water during boiling is used to overcome these forces of attraction between the particles so that they become totally free and change into a gas. This latent heat does not increase the kinetic energy of water particles and hence no rise in temperature takes place during the boiling of water.

b) Steam produces more severe burns than boiling water even though both are at 100oC because steam contains more heat, in the form of latent heat, than boiling water.

Mixtures of benzene and cyclohexane exhibit ideal behavior. A solution was created containing 1.5 moles of liquid benzene and 2.

goblinko [34]

Answer:

Vapour pressure of cyclohexane at 50°C is 490torr

Vapour pressure of benzene at 50°C is 90torr

Explanation:

Using Raoult's law, pressure of a solution is defined by the sum of the product sbetween mole fraction of both solvents and pressure of pure solvents.

$P_{solution} = X_{A}P^0_{A}+X_{B}P^0_{B}$

In the first solution:

$X_{cyclohexane}=\frac{2.5mol}{2.5mol+1.5mol} =0.625$

$X_{benzene}=\frac{1.5mol}{2.5mol+1.5mol} =0.375$

$340torr = 0.625P^0_{A}+0.375P^0_{B}$ (1)

For the second equation:

$X_{cyclohexane}=\frac{3.5mol}{3.5mol+1.5mol} =0.700$

$X_{benzene}=\frac{1.5mol}{3.5mol+1.5mol} =0.300$

$370torr = 0.700P^0_{A}+0.300P^0_{B}$ (2)

Replacing (2) in (1):

$340torr = 0.625P^0_{A}+0.375(1233.3-2.333P^0_{A})$

$340torr = 0.625P^0_{A}+462.5-0.875P^0_{A}$

-122.5torr = -0.250P°A

$P^0_{A} = 490 torr$

Vapour pressure of cyclohexane at 50°C is 490torr

And for benzene:

$370torr = 0.700*490torr+0.300P^0_{B}$

$P^0_{B}=90torr$

Vapour pressure of benzene at 50°C is 90torr

Calculate the number of moles of KOH in 6.70 mL of a 0.480 M KOH solution. (Enter your answer in scientific notation.)

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

3.2×10^-3 mol

Explanation:

The equation for molarity is M= n/L. Where "M" is Molarity, "n" is the number of moles of solute, and "L" is the total liters in solution.

The question gives you the volume in mL, so to convert "mL" to "L" you need to divide by 1000. (6.70mL/ 1000L)= 0.0067L.

Now you can plug the numbers into the equation. 0.480M= n/ 0.0067L), multiply (0.480M×0.0067L)= 0.003216 mol. The scientific notation is 3.2×10^-3, 10^-3 because you move the decimal back three times and 3.2 because there are 2 sig figs.
