Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When there occurs no change in chemical composition of a substance then it is known as a physical property.

For example, volume, mass, shape, size, density etc are all physical properties.

In liquids, the molecules are held by slightly less strong intermolecular forces of attraction as compared to a solid. So, the molecules of a liquid are able to slide over each other as they have kinetic energy.

Therefore, a liquid has indefinite shape because they acquire the shape of container in which they are placed. But a liquid does not have a definite volume.

Thus, we can conclude that indefinite volume is not a physical property of a liquid.

Definitely definite mass because liquids can take on any shape and can have different volumes.

A scooter maintains a pace of 1.45 minutes per mile, with fuel economy of 85 miles per gallon. How many seconds can it travel on

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

281s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Speed of the scooter = 1.45min per mile

Fuel economy of engine = 85miles per gallon

Quantity of fuel = 145mL

Unknown:

Time of travel with the volume of fuel given = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to find the distance the fuel will last.

Rate of fuel consumption by the engine = 85miles per gallon

Convert 145mL to gallons;

3785.41mL = 1 gallon

145mL will therefore give $\frac{145}{3785.41}$ = 0.038gallons

So;

Distance covered = 85miles per gallon x 0.038gallons = 3.23miles

From;

Rate of travel = $\frac{time }{distance}$

Time = rate of travel x distance = 1.45 minutes per mile x 3.23miles

Time = 4.7min

1 min = 60s

4.7min = 4.7 x 60 = 281s

How cations can become neutral atoms?

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

A neutral atom contains the same number of electrons as protons and that means that the electric charge of the atom is neutral or otherwise known as zero. However, if a particular atom loses an electron, the atom becomes positively charged because there is more protons than electrons.
THIS IS CALLED A CATION.
