<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.

What is the maximum number of grams of PH3 that can be formed when 6.2 g of phosphorus reacts with 4.0 g of hydrogen to form PH3
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

6.79 g of phosphine can be produced

Explanation:

The reaction is this:

3H₂ + 2P → 2PH₃

We have the mass of the two reactants, so let's find out the limiting reactant, so we can work with the equation. Firstly, we convert the mass to moles (mass / molar mass)

6.2 g / 30.97 g/mol = 0.200 moles of P

4g / 2 g/mol = 2 moles of H₂

Ratio is 3:2.

3 moles of hydrogen react with 2 moles of P

Then, 2 moles of H₂ would react with (2 . 2)/ 3 = 1.3 moles of P.

We have only 0.2 moles of P, so clearly the phosphorous is the limiting reactant.

Ratio is 2:2. So 2 moles of P can produce 2 moles of phosphine. Therefore, 0.2 moles of P must produce the same amount of phosphine.

Let's convert the moles to mass ( mol . molar mass)

0.2 mol . 33.97 g/mol = 6.79 g

Aqueous concentrated nitric acid is 69% hno3 by weight and has a density of 1.42 g/ml.
OleMash [197]

Answer: -

15.55 M

35.325 molal

Explanation: -

Let the volume of the solution be 1000 mL.

Density of nitric acid = 1.42 g/ mL

Total Mass of nitric acid Solution = Volume of nitric acid x Density of nitric acid

= 1000 mL x 1.42 g/ mL

= 1420 g.

Percentage of HNO₃ = 69%

Amount of HNO₃ = \frac{69} {100} x 1420 g

= 979.8 g

Molar mass of HNO₃ = 1 x 1 + 14 x 1 + 16 x 3 = 63 g /mol

Number of moles of HNO₃ = \frac{979.8 g}{63 g/ mol}

= 15.55 mol

Molarity is defined as number of moles per 1000 mL

We had taken 1000 mL as volume and found it to contain 15.55 moles.

Molarity of HNO₃ = 15.55 M

Mass of water = Total mass of nitric acid solution - mass of nitric acid

= 1420 - 979.8

= 440.2 g

So we see that 440.2 g of water contains 15.55 moles of HNO₃

Molality is defined as number of moles of HNO₃ present per 1000 g of water.

Molality of HNO₃ = \frac{15.55 x 1000}{440.2}

= 35.325 molal

Hi everyone can anyone help with this, the question and diagram is in the pic thx!
seraphim [82]

Answer:

QP

Explanation:

P has 9 electrons.

Electronic Configuration : 2, 7

Valence electrons : 7

P needs 1 electron to get stable electronic configuration.

Q has 3 electrons.

Electronic Configuration : 2, 1

Valence electrons : 1

P needs to loose 1 electron to get stable electronic configuration.

Q donates 1 electron,

Q -----> Q+ + 1 e-

P gains 1 electron,

P + 1 e- -----> P-

Q+ + P- -----> QP

This is an ionic compound.

Thallium consists of 29.5%Th-203 and 70.5%Th-205. What is the relative atomic mass of thallium?
grin007 [14]
0.295 * 203 = 53.885
0.705 * 205 = 144.525
53.885 + 144.525 = 204.41
The relative atomic mass of Thallium is 204.41
