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

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 student performs three trials of a titration of an acid with an unknown concentration. She compares her measured concentration
Viktor [21]

Answer:

There are many errors possible while titrating the acid of an unknown concentration with a base like NaOH.

Main error that leads to the error in results is misreading of the end point volume .

End point is when the reaction between the analyte and solution of known concentration has stopped .

Sometimes Burette is not straight enough to read the volume of the end point. One way to misread the volume of burette is by looking at the burette volume at an angle .

From above , volume seems to be higher. Indicators are used to indicate the color change of the reaction. In Acid-Base titrations , indicators first lighten up then changes its color.

So, error may have occurred in wrongly judging of the end point by color change of the indicator .

How does the equilibrium change to counter the removal of A in this reaction? A + B ⇌ AB The equilibrium . Simultaneously, there
kykrilka [37]

Based on Le Chatelier's principle, if the equilibrium of a system is disturbed by changing the temperature, pressure or concentration, then it will shift in a direction to undo the effect of the induced change.

The given equilibrium is:

A + B ↔ AB

Removal of the reactant A implies that the concentration of A has decreased, therefore the equilibrium will shift in a direction to produce more of A. Thus, it will shift to the left and the rate of the reverse or backward reaction will increase.

Why do we not know yet if we live in multiverse
kherson [118]

The people of he world believe and they don't believe.

I,myself, think we do land don't live in multiverse.

Why: Because in science I hear that there are many universes out there that need to b explored.

Not: Because if we did, don't you think that Astronauts and the U.S. would try and find different universes.

I hope I helped you!:)

Are the bases on the interior or the exterior of the double helix? Are they randomly arranged or neatly stacked?
Lemur [1.5K]

the double helix is hydrogen bonded through the bases only so the bases are inside the helix only

as adenine combines with thymine and guanine with cytosine

phosphate are in the exterior of it

sugar groups constitute the double helix.
