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.

Which one of the following statements is not true?
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

When magma reaches the surface, its dissolved gas content increases is true

<u>Explanation</u>:

The volcanic eruptions happen because of magma that is expelled on the earth’s surface. At the earth’s depth, all magma have gas dissolved in liquid. When the pressure has decreased the magma rises towards the earth’s surface creating a separate vapour phase.  

As pressure reduces the volume of gas will  expands and giving magma its 'explosive character'. Thus, as magma reaches the surface the dissolved gas content decreases and magma comes out of earth’s surface.

For the reaction;
ankoles [38]

Answer:

At equilibrium:

[H2] = 0.005 M

[Br2] = 0.105 M

[HBr] = 0.189 M

Explanation:

H2(g) + Br2(g) ⇄ 2HBr

an "x" value will be used from reactant to produced "2x"

so at equilibrium:

[H2] = 0.1 - x

[Br2] = 0.2 - x

[HBr] = 2x

we know that Kc=[HBr]²/[H2][Br2]

Thus 62.5 = (2x)²/(0.1-x)(0.2-x)

this generate a quadratic equation: 58.5x² - 18.75x + 1.25 = 0

the x₁ = 0.23   x₂ = 0.09457

we pick 0.09457 because the two reactants can not make more than what they have. x₁ is higher than both initial reactant concentration

Then we substitute the "x₂" value at equilibrium:

[H2] = 0.1-0.09457 = 0.005 M

[Br2] = 0.2-0.09457 = 0.105 M

[HBr] = 2*0.09457 = 0.189 M
