<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.

A container has a mixture of NO2 gas and N2O4 gas in equilibrium. The chemical reaction between the two gases is described by th
kondaur [170]

Answer: The most likely partial pressures are 98.7MPa for NO₂ and 101.3MPa for N₂O₄

Explanation: To determine the partial pressures of each gas after the increase of pressure, it can be used the equilibrium constant Kp.

For the reaction 2NO₂ ⇄ N₂O₄, the equilibrium constant is:

Kp = \frac{P(N_{2}O_{4} )}{P(NO_{2} ^{2}) }

where:

P(N₂O₄) and P(NO₂) are the partial pressure of each gas.

Calculating constant:

Kp = \frac{38.8}{61.2^{2} }

Kp = 0.0104

After the weights, the total pressure increase to 200 MPa. However, at equilibrium, the constant is the same.

P(N₂O₄) + P(NO₂) = 200

P(N₂O₄) = 200 - P(NO₂)

Kp = \frac{P(N_{2}O_{4} )}{P(NO_{2} ^{2}) }

0.0104 = \frac{200 - P(NO_{2})  }{[P(NO_{2} )]^{2}}

0.0104[P(NO_{2} )]^{2} + P(NO_{2} ) - 200 = 0

Resolving the second degree equation:

P(NO_{2} ) = \frac{-1+\sqrt{9.32} }{0.0208}

P(NO_{2} ) = 98.7

Find partial pressure of N₂O₄:

P(N₂O₄) = 200 - P(NO₂)

P(N₂O₄) = 200 - 98.7

P(N₂O₄) = 101.3

The partial pressures are P(NO_{2} ) = 98.7 MPa and P(N₂O₄) = 101.3 MPa

Which example is a trace fossil? {A} dinosaur egg {B} dinosaur footprint {C} dinosaur bone {D} shark tooth
viktelen [127]

dinosaur footprint

Explanation:

A dinosaur footprint is an example of a trace fossil. A trace fossil is a type of fossil that shows the activities of organisms that lived in the past.

  • Fossils are the preserved remains of organisms that lived several years ago.
  • Fossils are usually found in sedimentary rocks and thick layers of ice in temperate and polar regions.
  • Body fossils are the remains of the body parts of an organism that has been preserved. They can be skeletal parts, teeth, eggs e.t.c
  • A trace fossil shows the preserved remains of the activities of an organism.
  • They can be fingerprints, burrows and borings, feccal pellets e.t.c

PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!!A 450 ml gas sample has a pressure of 1.25 atm at 65 °C. What is the temperature, in °C, at which the ga
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

89°C

Explanation:

Combined Gas Law (P₁V₁)/T₁ = (P₂V₂)/T₂

(1.25 atm)(450 mL)/(65°C) = (0.89 atm)(865 mL)/T₂

8.653846154 = 769.85/T₂

T₂ = 769.85/8.653846154

T₂ = 88.96044444 = 89°C
