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.

A waterbed filled with water has the dimensions 8.5ft by 7.5ft by 9.5inches. Taking the density of water to be 1.00 g/cubic cent
Citrus2011 [14]
First, 1 foot = 30.48cm (12 inches x 2.54 cm/inch=30.48 cm). So, 8,5 ft = 8.5 x 30.48cc=259.08 cm, 7.5 ft = 7.5 x 30.48=228.6cm and 9.5/12=0.791ft x 30.48 =24.11cm. So, in cc, 259.08 x 228.6 x 24.11 = 1,427,931.3 cc. Since 1 cc of water = 1 gram then we have 1,427,931`grams or 1427. 931 kg x 2.2 lbs/kg = 3141 pounds of water or 1.57 tonnes of water so with this size of waterbed if  upstairs the house structure must be able to withstand this stress.

The metal sodium is obtained by electrolysis of common table salt (sodium chloride, nacl). how much sodium chloride needs to be
Bogdan [553]
Solve first for the number of moles of sodium given that the mass is 2500 g by dividing the given mass by the molar mass of sodium. 
                         moles sodium = 2500 g / 23 g/mol
                               moles sodium = 108.7 moles
Since in every mole of NaCl, there is only one mole of sodium then, we conclude that there are also 108.7 moles of NaCl. Multiplying the number of moles to the molar mass of sodium chloride (58.44), the answer would be 6,352.17 grams.

If the distance between a point charge and a neutral atom and is multiplied by a factor of 5, by what factor does the force on t
dexar [7]

Given :

The distance between a point charge and a neutral atom and is multiplied by a factor of 5.

To Find :

By what factor does the force on the neutral atom by the point charge change.

Solution :

We know, electrostatic force between two object is directly proportional to product of charge and inversely proportional to distance between them.

Now, charge in neutral atom is 0 C.

So, the electrostatic force between two of them is also 0 N.

Therefore, by changing distance between the charge the forces did no change ( it remains zero).
