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.

100 POINTS! HELP ME IF YOU LOVE JESUS!

mr Goodwill [35]

I only got 50 points (which is not 100). :-)

Look at the graph. At 80 °C, about 38 g of solute is able to dissolve, and that’s for ever 100 g of water. That means that for every 150 grams of water, 57 grams of solute can dissolve (38/2 = 19 + 38 = 57 g) at 80 °C. Since 57 g is greater than 55 g, all for he sodium chloride should dissolve in 150 g of water at 80 °C - you can put all of that into a “mathematical explanation”.

Why has the acidity of the ocean increased over the years?

aalyn [17]

Answer:

I think it's A

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere whenever people burn fossil fuels. ... As the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere rises, the oceans absorb a lot of it. In the ocean, carbon dioxide reacts with seawater to form carbonic acid. This causes the acidity of seawater to increase.

Calculate the mass of H2OH2O produced by metabolism of 2.4 kgkg of fat, assuming the fat consists entirely of tristearin (C57H11

otez555 [7]

Answer:

2,669.58 grams of water will be produced by metabolism of 2.4 kilogram of fat.

Explanation:

$2C_{57}H_{110}O_6+163O_2\rightarrow 114CO_2+110H_2O$

Mass of fat = 2.4 kg = 2.4 × 1000 g = 2400 g

1 kg = 1000 g

Molar mass of fat = M

M = 57 × 12 g/mol + 110 × 1 g/mol+ 6 × 16 g/mol = 890 g/mol[/tex]

Moles of fat = $\frac{2400 g}{890 g/mol}=2.6966 mol$

According to reaction , 2 moles of fat gives 110 moles of water. Then 2.6966 moles of fat will give ;

$\frac{110}{2}\times 2.6966 mol=148.31 mol$ of water

Mass of 148.31 moles of water ;

148.31 mol × 18 g/mol = 2,669.58 g

2,669.58 grams of water will be produced by metabolism of 2.4 kilogram of fat.
