The physical state that best describes the scientist's sample is solid (option C).
<h3>What are the states of matter?</h3>
Matter refers to any substance that has mass and occupies space. The states of matter are as follows;
- Solids; a substance in the fundamental state of matter that retains its size and shape without need of a container.
- Gases; a matter in a state intermediate between liquid and plasma that can be contained only if it is fully surrounded by a solid
- Liquids; substance that is flowing such as water; Liquids readily change their relative position, and which therefore retains no definite shape, except that determined by the containing receptacle.
According to this question, a scientist observed a sample of an unknown material to have molecules that are packed closely together and have fixed positions in space relative to each other. It has resistance to deformation and change of volume.
This description best fits the solid state of matter.

Answer:
One
Explanation:
The formulas for the two acids are CH₃CH₂COO-H and CH₃CH₂CH₂COO-H.
The key factors to consider are the polarities of the C-H and O-H bonds.
A. C-H bonds
The difference in electronegativity is ΔEN =|2.55 - 2.20| = 0.35.
This difference of so small that we usually consider the C-H bond to be nonpolar.
It is extremely unlikely that a C-H bond will dissociate onto ions.
B. O-H bonds
The difference in electronegativity is ΔEN =|3.44 - 2.20| = 1.24.
Thus, an O-H bond is highly polar covalent — the bond has about 32 % ionic character.
It is much more likely that an O-H bond will go all the way and dissociate onto ions.
RCOOH + H₂O ⇌ RCOO⁻ + H₃O⁺
The Kₐ for an O-H bond is about 10⁴⁶ times that of a C-H bond.
Only the O-H bond of a carboxylic acid will dissociate,
