Describe the three states of matter in terms of shape and volume

1 answer:

7 0

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.

Types of Bonds can be predicted by calculating the difference in electronegativity.

If, Electronegativity difference is,

Less than 0.4 then it is Non Polar Covalent Bond

Between 0.4 and 1.7 then it is Polar Covalent Bond

Greater than 1.7 then it is Ionic

For N and Se,

Be sure to answer all parts. The equilibrium constant (Kp) for the reaction below is 4.40 at 2000. K. H2(g) + CO2(g) ⇌ H2O(g) +

Answer:

For 1: The value of $\Delta G$ for the chemical equation is -24.636 kJ/mol

For 2: The value of $\Delta G$ for the chemical equation is -20.925 kJ/mol

Explanation:

For the given chemical equation:

$H_2(g)+CO_2(g)\rightleftharpoons H_2O(g)+CO(g)$

For 1:

To calculate the $\Delta G$ for given value of equilibrium constant, we use the relation:

$\Delta G=-RT\ln K_p$ .....(1)

where,

$\Delta G$ = ? kJ/mol

R = Gas constant = $8.314J/K mol$

T = temperature = 2000 K

$K_p$ = equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure = 4.40

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta G=-(8.314J/Kmol)\times 2000K\times \ln (4.40)\\\\\Delta G=-24636.12J/mol$

Converting this into kilo joules, we use the conversion factor:

1 kJ = 1000 J

So, -24636.12 J/mol = -24.636 kJ/mol

Hence, the value of $\Delta G$ for the chemical equation is -24.636 kJ/mol

For 2:

The expression of $K_p$ for the given chemical equation is:

$K_p=\frac{p_{CO}p_{H_2O}}{p_{H_2}p_{CO_2}}$

We are given:

$p_{CO}=1.18atm\\p_{H_2O}=0.66atm\\p_{CO_2}=0.82atm\\p_{H_2}=0.27atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$K_p=\frac{1.18\times 0.66}{0.27\times 0.82}\\\\K_p=3.52$

Now, calculating the value of $\Delta G$ by using equation 1:

R = Gas constant = $8.314J/K mol$

T = temperature = 2000 K

$K_p$ = equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure = 3.52

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\Delta G=-(8.314J/Kmol)\times 2000K\times \ln (3.52)\\\\\Delta G=-20925.68J/mol$

Converting this into kilo joules, we use the conversion factor:

1 kJ = 1000 J

So, -20925.68 J/mol = -20.925 kJ/mol

Hence, the value of $\Delta G$ for the chemical equation is -20.925 kJ/mol
