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.

Which solution will conduct electric current a sugar solution or a salt solution
Stells [14]
Sugar is a nonconductor. When it dissolves into water it dissolves as a covalent molecule. As a covalent molecule it does not conduct electricity in the way that ionic compounds like salt would.

The heat of a reaction may be found with the equation q=mcΔT.
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

B) -1551 kJ  

Explanation:

There are two heat flows in this question.

Heat released by engine + heat absorbed by water = 0

                   q₁                    +                      q₂                = 0

                   q₁                    +                   mCΔT            = 0

Data:

  m = 2.51 kg

  C = 3.41 J°C⁻¹g⁻¹

T_i =   23.8 °C

T_f =205     °C  

Calculations:

(a) ΔT

ΔT = 205 °C - 23.8 °C = 181.2 °C

(b) q₂

q₂ = mCΔT = 2510 g × 3.41 J·°C⁻¹g⁻¹ × 181.2 °C = 1.551× 10⁶ J = 1551 kJ

(c) q₁

q₁ + 1551 kJ = 0

q₁ = -1551 kJ
