Why do solids not mix well, but gases and liquids mix easily in most cases.

Well, because solids are..solid. When you mix things together like to make a cake, the ingredients are either very small solids that dissolve or liquids.

The molecules in solid matter are linked to each other by bonds, as if they were glued to each other. Hence, it's hard to move them.

In liquids and gases however, such bounds are way weaker, and thus they move a lot more, enabling us to mix them.

How many grams of oxygen are required to react with 2.7 g of dihydrogen sulfide
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Mass = 3.84 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of hydrogen sulfide = 2.7 g

Mass of oxygen required = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂S + 3O₂ →  2H₂O + 2SO₂

Number of moles of hydrogen sulfide:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 2.7 g / 34 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.08 mol

Now we will compare the moles of hydrogen sulfide with oxygen.

                               H₂S           :             O₂

                                  2             :             3

                                  0.08       :            3/2 ×0.08 = 0.12 mol

Mass of oxygen;

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.12 mol × 32 g/mol

Mass = 3.84 g

Which two changes of state can occur when a substance gains thermal<br> energy?
irinina [24]

Answer:

Adding enough thermal energy to a substance can cause a change of state to occur. The change of state from a solid to a liquid is called melting. When energy is added to an ice cube, the ice particles speed up as energy is absorbed. When the particles move fast enough, the solid ice melts and becomes liquid water

CH4(g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(l): ΔH = −890 kJ
V125BC [204]

Answer:

The reaction of one mole of oxygen (O2) releases 445 kJ of energy.

Explanation:

Firstly, the reaction is exothermic since the sign of enthalpy change ΔH  is negative.

The balanced equation: CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l): ΔH = −890 kJ,

Shows that 1 mole of CH₄ react with 2 moles of oxygen and releases 890 kJ.

So, every choice says that absorb is wrong (choice 1& 3).

Choice no. 4 is wrong since it says that 2 moles of methane releases 890 kJ, because only one mole release this amount of energy.

So, the right choice is The reaction of one mole of oxygen (O2) releases 445 kJ of energy.

Why do some elements form double and triple bonds during bonding
jekas [21]

Explanation:

Elements need a total of eight electrons to gain stability and look like a noble gas. So, they sometimes need sharing of two, four or even six electrons to complete their octate. So, they form double and triple covalent bonds. One more  the reason is the  interaction between the p orbitals of the combining atoms. for example  A double bond, as in ethene H2C=CH2, arises from one combination of the s orbitals and one combination of the p_y orbitals.
