Which state of matter consists of particles that can be partially compressed? Gas Liquid Plasma Solid

Chemistry
1 answer:
son4ous [18]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In liquid state, particles do have kinetic energy that helps in partially overcoming the intermolecular forces between the molecules. But still the particles are close together and they are able to slide past each other.

So, when we apply pressure on a liquid then its molecules partially gets compressed.

On the other hand, molecules of a solid are held together by strong intermolecular forces of attraction. Hence, they have definite shape and volume. As a result, solids do not get compressed.

In gases and plasma state of matter, molecules are gar away from each other. So, they are able to get completely compressed when a pressure is applied.

Thus, we can conclude that liquid is the state of matter which consists of particles that can be partially compressed.

Calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of nitric acid from nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen from these
deff fn [24]
The formation of nitric acid from nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen can be written as,

     N₂ + H₂ + 3O₂ --> 2HNO₃

The net enthalpy of formation of nitric acid is calculated by,
   Hrxn = Hproduct - Hreactant

Since all the reactants are in their elemental forms, the simplified equation would be,

    Hrxn = Hproduct 

Substituting,

    Hrxn = (-186.81 kJ/mol)(2 mols)

<em>Answer: -372.42 kJ</em>

Given that the density of iron is 7.9 g/cm3, what would be the volume of a 15.8 g piece of iron
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

2cm^3

Explanation:

Use the density triangle: D=MxV

Switch for variables, V=M/D

Plug in numbers, 15.8g/7.9g/cm^3=2cm^3

True or False <br> Hypoxia results from higher oxygen levels.
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure reduces the amount of oxygen in the air, therefore leading to Hypoxia. Higher altitues contribute.
