Solid does not take up the container because its whole. A liquid is wet and shapes the container.

Liquids can flow because their particles can move over each other. When water is poured into a glass, the particles of water move over each other and into the corners of the glass. The particles keep on moving over each other as the water takes the shape of the glass. Gases can flow because they can move in any direction.

Liquid methylene bromide has a density of 2.50 g/mL. A barometer is constructed using methylene bromide instead of mercury. If t
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

393 cm

Explanation:

Step 1: Given and required data

  • Density of liquid methylene bromide (ρ): 2.50 g/mL (2.50 g/cm³)
  • Earth's gravity (g): 9.81 m/s²
  • Atmospheric pressure (P): 0.950 atm

Step 2: Convert 0.950 atm to Pa (N/m²)

We will use the conversion factor 1 atm = 101325 Pa.

0.950 atm × 101325 Pa/1 atm = 9.63 × 10⁴ Pa

Step 3: Convert 2.50 g/cm³ to kg/m³

We will use the conversion factors:

  • 1 kg = 10³ g
  • 1 m³ = 10⁶ cm³

\frac{2.50g}{cm^{3} } \times \frac{1kg}{10^{3}g } \times \frac{10^{6}cm^{3}  }{1m^{3} } =  2.50 \times 10^{3} kg/m^{3}

Step 4: Calculate the height (h) of the liquid column

We will use the following expression.

P = ρ × g × h

h = P / ρ × g

h = 9.63 × 10⁴ Pa / (2.50 × 10³ kg/m³) × 9.81 m/s²

h = 3.93 m = 393 cm

The intensity of a sound describes
baherus [9]
The intensity of a sound describes <em>its loudness at a particular distance</em><em />

Sound intensity is factored by the ear's sensitivity to the particular frequencies contained in a sound

Sound loudness describes the strength of the ear's perception of a sound.

These two points being said, if the ear is more sensitive to a frequency, that sound will be louder to us than sounds at different frequencies that might not be as sensitive to our ears. <em>So, the more intense the sound, the louder it is ;)</em>

Thank you for your question! I hope this helped! Have an amazing day! :D

Given the following proposed mechanism, predict the rate law for the rate-determining step.
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

D) Rate = K [NO2][Cl2]

Explanation:

2 NO2 + Cl2 → 2 NO2Cl (overall reaction)

NO2 + Cl2 → NO2Cl + Cl (slow)

NO2 + Cl → NO2Cl (fast)

The rate-determining step is the slowest step in a reaction mechanism. Because it is the slowest, it determines the rate of the overall reaction.

Rate of reaction is typically given as;

Rate = K [Reactants]

In the slow step i the reaction mechanism, the reactants are; NO2 and Cl2. Since both are not intermediates, there is no need for further working out.

Rate = K [NO2][Cl2]
