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.

Which of the following are strong electrolytes? Hcl hc2h3o2 nh3 kcl
Arturiano [62]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

HCl and KCl

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Strong electrolytes are strong bases and acids.
  • HCl is a strong acid; it dissociates completely to form H+ and Cl- ions. Thus, it is a strong, rather than weak, electrolyte.
  • CH3COOH is acetic acid, a weak acid. Only some of it will dissociate (to H+ and acetate ions), thus, it will only be a weak electrolyte.
  • NH3 will react with water as a weak base: NH3 + H2O → NH4+ + OH-. It will thus also be a weak electrolyte.  
  • KCl is a soluble ionic compound, and as such, it will be a strong electrolyte.

True or false? During a change of state the temperature of the substance does not change.​
irakobra [83]

Ydrogen and fluorine combine according to the equation h2(g) + f2(g) → 2 hf(g) if 5.00 g of hydrogen gas are combined with 38.0
Alexxx [7]
<span> Molar mass (H2)=2*1.0=2.0 g/mol
Molar mass (F2)=2*19.0=38.0 g/mol
Molar mass (HF)=1.0+19.0=20.0 g/mol

5.00 g H2 * 1mol H2 /2 g H2=2.50 mol H2 
38.0 g F2*1mol F2/38.0 g F2=1.00 mol F2

                                   H2(g) + F2(g) → 2 HF(g)
From reaction        1 mol      1 mol
From problem      2.50 mol   1 .00mol

We can see that  excess of H2, and that F2 is a limiting reactant.
So, the amount of HF is limited by the amount of F2.

From reaction                      1 mol       2  mol
From problem                      1.00 mol  2.00mol

2.00 mol HF can be formed.

2.00 mol HF*20.0g HF/1mol HF=40.0 g HF can be formed
