How do molecules in a solid differ from those in a liquid or gas

Chemistry
1 answer:
artcher [175]3 years ago
5 0
Molecules in solids are packed a lot closer together than molecules in liquids and gases, so there is far less space between solid particles. Because of this, solid particles cannot move around quickly and freely like liquids and gases, instead they only vibrate so are fairly 'locked' into the same place, so solids have fixed volume and space.

78.9 + 890.43 - 21 = 9.5 x 10^2
maria [59]

948 or 9.48 x 10^2

There are two sets of rules for significant figures

• One set for addition and subtraction

• Another set for multiplication and division

You used the set for multiplication and division.

This problem involves addition and subtraction, and the rule is

The number of places after the decimal point in the answer must be <em>no greater than the number of decimal places in every term</em> in the sum.

Thus, we have

78.9

+890.43

-21.

= 948.33

The "21" term has the fewest digits after the decimal point (none), so the answer must have no digits after the decimal point.

To the correct answer is 948 = 9.48 x 10^2. It has three significant figures.

Which physical state of nitrogen has the highest entropy? (1 point) solid liquid gas vapor?
Tju [1.3M]
Answer is. gas <span>has the highest entropy.
</span>Entropy is the measure of the molecular disorder<span> and it is system’s thermal </span>energy<span> per unit </span>temperature<span> that is unavailable for doing useful </span>work<span>. 
Nitrogen molecules have weakest intermolecular bonds in gas phase and move fast and without order. In solid state movement is much more less.

46.6 grams of mercury II sulfate (HgSO4) reacts with an excess of sodium Chloride (NaCl). How many grams of mercury II chloride
slega [8]

Answer:

m_{HgCl_2}=42.7gHgCl_2

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction is:

HgSO_4+2NaCl\rightarrow HgCl_2+Na_2SO_4

In such a way, the mercury II sulfate (molar mass 296.65g/mol) is in a 1:1 molar ratio with the mercury II chloride (molar mass 271.52g/mol), for that reason the stoichiometry to find mass in grams of mercury II chloride turns out:

m_{HgCl_2}=46.6gHgSO_4*\frac{1molHgSO_4}{296.65 gHgSO_4}*\frac{1molHgCl_2}{1molHgSO_4} *\frac{271.52gHgCl_2}{1molHgCl_2} \\\\m_{HgCl_2}=42.7gHgCl_2

Best regards.

What does the host mean when he says that the acid has "donated a proton" to the water?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

As Brønsted-Lowry theory states, acids are the ones that can donate protons.

When a proton is donated, it is released to become medium more acidic.

HCl is a strong acid.

HCl (l) + H₂O (l)  →  H₃O⁺ (aq) +  Cl⁻(aq)

These always reffers to strong acid where the dissociation is 100% completed.

In a weak acid, dissociation is not 100% complete, that's why we have an equilibrium.

HA (l) + H₂O (l)  ⇄  H₃O⁺ (aq) +  A⁻(aq)                   Ka
