Answer:
Plasma
Explanation:
It is because gas and plasma have no definite shape and volume but plasma can conduct an electric charge
So, we have:
- molecular weight
- shape
- temperature
- kinetic energy
- mass
- density
Let's rule out the different options.
- molecular weight: Say you have a molecule of H2O. H2O can be a solid, liquid, or gas, but its molecular weight never changes throughout (It's still the same molecule, no matter what phase it is in). We can rule this out.
- shape: Let's pretend we have three identical closed containers, and we fill each one halfway with water, blocks of ice cubes, and water vapor. In the container with water, you will see that the water takes the shape of the container, but doesn't fill the entire container up. The ice cubes will stay ice cubes, assuming they don't melt, so they don't take the shape of the container. The vapor will fill up the entire container. Since all three are different, I would say yes, this could be a distinguishable feature.
- temperature: In general, I would say no, because every element/molecule has different boiling points and different vaporization points. So if you have a liquid at 5°C, you could also have a different element in solid form at 5°C. But if you're comparing a single type of molecule, it would have a boiling point and a vaporization point, so you <em>would</em> be able to tell between them.
- kinetic energy: Kinetic energy refers to how much movement there is in respect to each molecule. In solids, the molecules are packed tightly together and can't move very much, so they have lower kinetic energy. In liquids, they are less packed, but still restricted. And in gases, they can fly freely, so they will have much more kinetic energy than liquids or solids. This one's a yes.
- mass: No matter what form, there are still the same amount of molecules, and each molecule has the same mass as before. It won't change.
- density: Since the molecules are more spread out in gases, it will be less dense. Liquids will be more dense, and solids will have the greatest density. So, yes.
Conclusion: shape, kinetic energy, density, (and temperature if it's talking about a single type of molecule)
Answer:
I don't fully understand what this is about...
Explanation:
sorry :(
Answer:
Concentration, because the amounts of reactants and products remain constant after equilibrium is reached.
Explanation:
The rate of reaction refers to the amount of reactants converted or products formed per unit time.
As the reaction progresses, reactions are converted into products. This continues until equilibrium is attained in a closed system.
When equilibrium is attained, the rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of reverse reaction, hence the concentration of reactants and products in the system remain fairly constant over time.
When deducing the rate of reaction, concentration of the specie of interest is plotted on the y-axis against time on the x-axis.
