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.

The chemical equation shows the production of magnesium chloride.

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

1 gram of H2 will be produced from 12 grams of Mg.

Explanation:

According to Stoichiometry, 0.5 moles of Mg are present. 1 mole of Mg produces 1 mole of H2, so 0.5 moles of Mg will produce 0.5 moles of H2. Multiplying molar mass of H2 i.e. 2 gram/mole with 0.5 moles, we can find the mass of H2 in grams which is 1 gram.

(c) O2 gas is transferred from a 3 L vessel containing oxygen at 4 atm to an evacuated 20 L vessel at a constant temperature of

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

After the transfer the pressure inside the 20 L vessel is 0.6 atm.

Explanation:

Considering O2 as an ideal gas, it is at an initial state (1) with V1 = 3L and P1 = 4 atm. And a final state (2) with V2 = 20L. The temperature remain constant at all the process, thus here applies the Boyle-Mariotte law. This law establishes that at a constant temperature an ideal gas the relationship between pressure and volume remain constant at all time:

$P x V = k$
