<span>Atoms move at different speeds depending on whether they are in liquids or solids </span><span>because the atoms or particles in solids are closely bonded while they are loosely bonded in liquids.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>The attractive forces between the particles are so high that they remain in fixed positions. The particles, then, cannot slip over the neighbors particles. They can only vibrate. That is why solids have definite form and volume.</span><span />

<span>That the particles in liquids are loosely bonded means that the attractive forces are less compared with solids. Then the partilces can move and pass each other. They are not in fixed arrangements any more. Yet the particles are attracted to each other, so they have definite volume, although they take the form of the vessel, and they can flow.

given two equations representing reactions: which type of reaction is represented by each of these equations?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Equation 1 - nuclear fission

Equation 2 - nuclear fusion

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is a reaction in which a large nucleus is split into smaller nuclei when it is bombarded by neutrons. The process produces more neutrons to continue the chain reaction. This is clearly depicted in equation 1 as shown in the question.

Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two light nuclei combine in order to form a larger nuclei. This is clearly depicted in equation 2 as shown in the question.

Consider this reaction 2Mg(s)+O2(g) ———&gt; 2MgO(s) What volume (in milliners) of gas is required to react with 4.03 g Mg at STP
nydimaria [60]

The volume of a gas that is required  yo react with 4.03 g mg  at STP  is 1856 ml



calculation/

  • calculate the moles of Mg used

     moles=mass/molar mass

moles of Mg is therefore=4.03 g/  24.3 g/mol=0.1658  moles

  • by use of mole ratio of Mg:O2  from  the equation  which is 2:1

  the moles 02=0.1679 x1/20.0829 moles

  • at STP  1 mole of a gas= 22.4  l

                            0.0895 moles=? L

  • by cross multiplication
  • =0.0895 moles  x22.4 l/  1 mole=1.8570 L

into Ml = 1.8570 x1000=1856  ml  approximately to 1860

If acid precipitation rain changes the ph of a pond from 7.0 to 5.0, the level of hydrogen ion has changed by a factor of ______
Karolina [17]
When pH=7, [H⁺] =10⁻⁷.
When pH=5, [H⁺]=10⁻⁵.

10⁻⁵/10⁻⁷ =10²=100
The level of hydrogen ions increased by factor 100.
