why do solids keep their shape and volume why do liquids keep only volume and why do gases not keep either shape or volume

kodGreya [7K]

Solids always have definite shape and definite volume because their particles are packed together. Liquids have a definite volume but not definite shape, because their particles still kinda tight but able to move around, and gases don’t have a definite shape nor volume, because their particles are crazy and go everywhere

Which will NOT occur when a light tray ray interacts with a smooth pane of glass?

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

B) diffraction

Explanation:

A smooth pane of glass does not diffract light. A light passing through a smooth pane of glass may be absorbed, reflected or transmitted.

Diffraction only occurs with special types of glasses embedded with a diffraction grating and are called super prisms. Diffraction glasses use a a gradient lens which is able to separate light into all the colors of the rainbow.

Recall that diffraction is the separation of white light into its component wavelengths.

If copper carbonate system is heated for too short a time, what will you notice for mass percent of copper be too large or too s

sammy [17]

Answer:

The mass percent of copper as element is the same.

Explanation:

First of all we need the reaction that is presented below:

$CuCO_{3 (s)} +Heat$ → $CuO_{(s)} + CO_{2 (g)}$

The mass percent of copper (Cu) as element is the same because of during the reaction the element only transform its nature from copper carbonate ( $CuCO_{3 (s)}$ ) to copper oxide ( $CuO_{(s)}$ ), the latter is a solid and will remain in the system.

On the other hand, you will note that the global percentage mass will be small because of the reaction produce ( $CO_{2 (g)}$ ) that is a gas and this one will escape for the system.

Have a great day!

When the following oxidation–reduction reaction in acidic solution is balanced, what is the lowest whole-number coefficient for

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

c. 8, product side

Explanation:

In order to balance a redox reaction we use the ion-electron method, which has the following steps:

Step 1: identify oxidation and reduction half-reaction.

Oxidation: MnO₄⁻(aq) → Mn²⁺(aq)

Reduction: Br⁻(aq) → Br₂(l)

Step 2: perform the mass balance adding H⁺ and H₂O where necessary

8 H⁺(aq) + MnO₄⁻(aq) → Mn²⁺(aq) + 4 H₂O(l)

2 Br⁻(aq) → Br₂(l)

Step 3: perform the electrical balance adding electrons where necessary.

8 H⁺(aq) + MnO₄⁻(aq) + 5 e⁻ → Mn²⁺(aq) + 4 H₂O(l)

2 Br⁻(aq) → Br₂(l) + 2 e⁻

Step 4: multiply both half-reactions by numbers that secure that the number of electrons gained and lost are the same.

2 × (8 H⁺(aq) + MnO₄⁻(aq) + 5 e⁻ → Mn²⁺(aq) + 4 H₂O(l))

5 × (2 Br⁻(aq) → Br₂(l) + 2 e⁻)

Step 5: add both half-reactions side to side.

16 H⁺(aq) + 2 MnO₄⁻(aq) + 10 e⁻ + 10 Br⁻(aq) → 2 Mn²⁺(aq) + 8 H₂O(l) + 5 Br₂(l) + 10 e⁻

16 H⁺(aq) + 2 MnO₄⁻(aq) + 10 Br⁻(aq) → 2 Mn²⁺(aq) + 8 H₂O(l) + 5 Br₂(l)

why is it essential to know the water temperature in this experiment- to find the vapor pressure of the water

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Vapour pressure of a liquid varies with temperature

Explanation:

The vapour pressure of any liquid is directly proportional to the temperature of the liquid. This implies that, as the temperature of the liquid increases, the vapour pressure increases likewise and vice versa.

Since the vapour pressure of liquid varies with the temperature of the liquid, it is essential to know the water temperature in the experiment to determine the vapour pressure of water.
