What type of state is glass? please explain about it.

2 answers:

8 0

On a small time scale, glass is in a solid state. When you look at a window, it appears solid.

However, it has been observed that over a very long period, glass starts to act like a liquid.

It can thus be characterized by two different states depending on the time scale considered.<span />

I think the other answer is incorrect. Glass being a liquid is a misconception, from when glassmaking was imperfect and windows were thicker at the bottom of the pane than the middle. But that was from when the glass was MADE, after being heated and put into a liquid form.

How many liters of hydrogen gas will be produced at STP from the reaction of 7.179 x 1023 atoms of magnesium with 54.21 g of pho

wlad13 [49]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

18.58 liters of hydrogen gas

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

The equation;

3Mg + 2H₃(PO₄) → Mg₃(PO₄)₂ + 3H₂

Atoms of Magnesium = 7.179 x 10^23 atoms
Mass of phosphoric acid as 54.21 g

We are required to determine the volume of hydrogen gas produced;

Step 1; moles of Magnesium

1 mole of an element contains 6.02 × 10^23 atoms

therefore;

Moles of Mg = (7.179 x 10^23 ) ÷ (6.02 × 10^23)

= 1.193 moles

Step 2: Moles of phosphoric acid

moles = Mass ÷ Molar mass

Molar mass of phosphoric acid = 97.994 g/mol

Therefore;

Moles of Phosphoric acid = 54.21 g ÷ 97.994 g/mol

= 0.553 moles

Step 3: Determine the rate limiting reagent

From the mole ratio of Mg to Phosphoric acid (3 : 2);

1.193 moles of magnesium requires 0.795 moles of phosphoric acid while,

0.0553 moles of phosphoric acid requires 0.8295 moles of Mg

Therefore, phosphoric acid is the rate limiting reagent

step 4: Determine the moles of hydrogen produced

From the equation, w moles of phosphoric acid reacts to produce 3 moles of hydrogen;

Therefore; moles of Hydrogen = moles of phosphoric acid × 3/2

= 0.553 moles × 3/2

= 0.8295 moles

Step 5: Volume of hydrogen gas

1 mole of a gas occupies a volume of 22.4 liters at STP

Therefore;

Volume of Hydrogen = 0.8295 moles × 22.4 L/mol

= 18.58 Liters

Therefore; 18.58 liters of hydrogen gas will be produced

Draw a lewis structure for ketene, c2h2o, which has a carbon–carbon double bond

MrMuchimi

Visual representation of covalent bonding indicating the valence shell electrons in the molecule, lines represents the shared pair of electron and pair of electrons that are not involved in bonding are represented as dots(lone pairs) are known as Lewis structures.

Compound formation takes place in order to complete the octet of each element that is according to octet rule, each atom forms bond with other atom in order to complete their octet that is to get eight electrons in its valence shell and attain stability.

An organic compound of the form $R^{'}R^{''}C=C=O$ is known as ketene.

The given ketene is $C_2H_2O$ .

The number of valence electron of:

$C = 4$

$H = 1$

$O = 6$

The number of valence electrons in $C_2H_2O$ = $2\times 4+2\times 1+1\times 6 =16$

2 electrons are involved in each single bond between carbon and hydrogen and 4 electrons are involved in each double bond formed between carbon-carbon and carbon-oxygen. Hence, the total number of electrons involved in bond formation are 12 and rest 2 pair of electrons are present on oxygen as lone pair of electrons.

Therefore, the attached image is the Lewis structure of $C_2H_2O$ .

What is the difference between weight and mass?

Marina86 [1]

Key differences between Mass and Weight

The weight may vary, but the mass is constant.

The mass is measured in kilograms (kg), while the weight is measured in newtons (N).

Mass refers to the amount of matter an object has, but the weight refers to the force of gravity acting on an object.
