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

Chemistry

abruzzese [7]3 years ago

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.

How many moles of oxygen gas, o2, are in a storage tank with a volume of 1.000×105 l at stp?
Mumz [18]
STP means standard temperature and pressure which is equivalent to 273 K and 1 atm, respectively. Assuming ideal gas behavior, the solution for this problem is as follows:

PV = nRT
Solve for n,
n = RT/PV
n = (0.0821 L-atm/mol-K)(273 K)/(1 atm)(1×10⁵ L)
<em>n = 2.24×10⁻⁴ moles</em>

How many covalent bonds does and oxygen stone usually make in forming covalent compounds?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer: Oxygen usually forms two covalent bonds or a covalent double bond.

Explanation:

A covalent bond is formed by the sharing of 2 electrons, 1 electron from each of the atoms sharing their electrons.

The number of bonds that each element can form depends on the number of valence (outermost) electrons it contains. Oxygen has 6 electrons in its valence shell and needs 2 more electrons thereby forming a double bond.
