Shape
A gas is shapeless all other things being equal. It will, if put in a container, occupy every part of the container.
A liquid could also be thought of shapeless. If put in a container, it need not occupy the entire container. It will occupy as much as its calculated volume will permit it to occupy.
A solid will only occupy its original shape.
Volume
A gas will occupy whatever container it is put in within limits. You cannot put a 72 mols of gas in a mm^3 container without some amazing ability to apply a lot of pressure.
A liquid will occupy a volume determined by its density and mass. In general liquids cannot be compressed.
Whatever volume a solid has to start with, it will retain that volume all other things being equal.
This is actually very hard to describe.
Answer:
The pH of a solution of 0.00278 M of HClO₄ is 2.56
Explanation:
pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity that indicates the amount of hydrogen ions present in a solution or substance and is calculated as:
pH= - log [H⁺]= - log [H₃O⁺]
On the other hand
, a Strong Acid is that acid that in an aqueous solution dissociates completely. In other words, a strong acid completely dissociates into hydrogen ions and anions in solution.
HClO₄ is a strong acid, so in aqueous solution it will be totally dissociated. Then, the concentration of protons is equal to the initial concentration of acid and the pH will be calculated:
pH= - log 0.00278
pH= 2.56
<u><em>The pH of a solution of 0.00278 M of HClO₄ is 2.56</em></u>
Answer:
65.08 g.
Explanation:
- For the reaction, the balanced equation is:
<em>2AlCl₃ + 3Br₂ → 2AlBr₃ + 3Cl₂,</em>
2.0 mole of AlCl₃ reacts with 3.0 mole of Br₂ to produce 2.0 mole of AlBr₃ and 3.0 mole of Cl₂.
- Firstly, we need to calculate the no. of moles of 36.2 grams of AlCl₃:
<em>n = mass/molar mass</em> = (36.2 g)/(133.34 g/mol) = <em>0.2715 mol.</em>
<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>
2.0 mole of AlCl₃ reacts with → 3.0 mole of Br₂, from the stichiometry.
0.2715 mol of AlCl₃ reacts with → ??? mole of Br₂.
∴ The no. of moles of Br₂ reacts completely with 0.2715 mol (36.2 g) of AlCl₃ = (0.2715 mol)(3.0 mole)/(2.0 mole) = 0.4072 mol.
<em>∴ The mass of Br₂ reacts completely with 0.2715 mol (36.2 g) of AlCl₃ = no. of moles of Br₂ x molar mass</em> = (0.4072 mol)(159.808 g/mol
) = <em>65.08 g.</em>
There are a couple of ways todetermine if a reaction is exothermic or endothermic. Endothermic meaning that heat is added to the reaction to make the reactants interact and exothermic meaning heat is released during the reaction between the two reactants.
In endothermic reactions you can find a triangle above the arrow.
