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

Chemistry

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.

The reaction 2 NO(g) ⇌ N2(g) + O2(g) has a Kc value of 2400 at 2000 K. If 0.850 M each of N2 and O2 are initially present in a 3
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

[N2] = [O2] = 0.841M

And [NO] = 0.00172M

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant of this reaction, Kc, is:

Kc = 2400 = [N2] [O2] / [NO]²

<em>Where [] are the equilibrium concentration of each specie.</em>

<em />

The initial concentration of [N2] = [O2] = 0.850M. The equilibrium will shift to the left in order to produce NO. The equilibrium concentrations are:

[N2] = [O2] = 0.850M - X

And [NO] = 2X

Replacing:

2400 = [0.850-X]²  / [2X]²

9600X² = 0.7225 - 1.7 X + X²

0 = 0.7225 - 1.7 X - 9599X²

Solving for X:

X = -0.0088M. False solution, there is no negative concentrations.

X = 0.00859M. Right solution.

Replacing:

[N2] = [O2] = 0.850M - 0.00859M

And [NO] = 2*0.00859M

[N2] = [O2] = 0.841M

And [NO] = 0.00172M
