Gases take the shape of their container. When you have a large container, the spaces between molecules (particles) can be further apart than if they were close together. In small containers, the particles are forced to be closer together, or compressed.

Think of it like a pep rally in a gym v.s. a classroom. In the gym, everyone has a bit of wiggle room. With the same number of people in a classroom, everyone would need to be packed in there. This can also explain why a smaller pot over boils from steam before a larger one does, even if the amount of water is the same.

Write down five things that you personally could do in your day-to-day life to help with the problem of climate change. Write do
beks73 [17]
Before that, we need to know what causes climate change. One of the main reasons are the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere, it traps heat but allow more heat to enter the earth, therefore climate increases over the years.

1. Set air conditioner to a higher temperature (eg. 25°C) or turn on fans instead.
Operating AC can use a lot of energy, and these energy is produced by burning if fossil fuels which releases carbon dioxide.

2. Take public transports instead of cars. The more private cars there are, the more pollutants it release, these pollutants includes carbon dioxide.

3. Turn off all the lights / electrical appliances when we leave a place. Again, electrical appliances require energy which is produced by burning of fossil fuels that gives out carbon dioxide.

4. Recycle and reuse paper that is only used on one side. Papers are extracted from trees and one main function of trees is to absorb carbon dioxide from the air. If many trees are cut, the amount of carbon dioxide in air would increase.

5. Do the laundry only if you have clothes full for the machine. If the washing machine is not full and you're starting it up, it really uses a lot of energy and water, which all again it triggers the release of carbon dioxide.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST! Explain how a pure metal is held together. Include a definition of a metallic bond in your explanation. Pl
vazorg [7]

Explanation:

A chemical bond which is formed in between positively charged atoms when there is sharing of free electrons in a lattice of cations is known as a metallic bond.

In a pure metal, atoms are surrounded by free moving valence electrons which move from one part of metal to another.

Thus, we can conclude that pure metals are held together by metallic bonds due to attraction between mobile valence electrons and positively charged metal ions.

Rate law equation The rate of a chemical reaction depends on the concentrations of the reactants. For the general reaction betwe
jekas [21]

<u>Answer:</u> The reaction order with respect to A is 'm'

<u>Explanation:</u>

Order of the reaction is the sum of the concentration of terms on which the rate of the reaction actually depends. It is equal to the sum of the exponents of the molar concentration in the rate law expression.

Elementary reactions the reactions for which the order of the reaction is same as its molecularity and order with respect to each reactant is equal to its stoichiometric coefficient as represented in the balanced chemical equation.

The given chemical equation follows:

aA+bB\rightleftharpoons cC+dD

The rate of the above reaction is given to us as:

Rate=k[A]^m[B]^n

In the above rate law expression, the order with respect to the reactants is not equal to the stoichiometric coefficients. Thus, it is not an elementary reaction.

Order with respect to reactant A = m

Order with respect to reactant B = n

Hence, the reaction order with respect to A is 'm'

Why is it important to determine the qcalorimeter before determining the qmetal??
svet-max [94.6K]
It is important to determine the qcalorimeter before determining the qmetal because the qcalorimeter is a constant and it's value is used to find the value of qmetal.
