They are made up of particles that are arranged in a repeating pattern.
Answer:
Solids, liquids, and gases are made of tiny particles called atoms and molecules. In a solid, the particles are very attracted to each other. They are close together and vibrate in position but don't move past one another. In a liquid, the particles are attracted to each other but not as much as they are in a solid.
They can be stopped by a piece of paper.
Answer: the percent by mass of potassium nitrate is 13.3%
Explanation:
<u>1) Data:</u>
- Mass of solute, m₁ = 45.0 g
- Volume of solvent, V₂ = 295 ml
- density of water, d₂ = 0.997 g/ml
<u>2) Formulae</u>:
- Percent by mass, % = (mass of solute / mass of solution) × 100
- Density, d = mass / volume
<u>3) Solution</u>:
- d = mass / volume ⇒ m₂ = d₂ × V₂ = 0.997 g/ml × 295 ml = 294. g
- mass of solution = m₁ + m₂ = 45.0g + 294. g = 339. g
- % = (45.0 g / 339. g) × 100 = 13.3 %
- The answer has to be reported with 3 significant figures.
