Answer:

B. liquid to gas

Explanation:

Matter exists in 3 different states:

- Solid: in solids, particles in the substance are tightly bond to each other through strong intermolecular forces. Therefore, they can only vibrate around their fixed position, but they cannot move freely: as a result, the distance between the particles is the smallest among the 3 states of matter.

- Liquid: in a liquid, particles are able to slide past each other, however there are still intermolecular forces keeping them not too far from each other. As a result, in liquids, particles are on average more distance from each other compared to solids.

- Gas: in a gas, particles are completely free to move, as the intermolecular forces between them are negligible. As a result, in gases, the distance between molecules is the greatest, compared with solids and liquids.

Therefore, the phase changes in which the average distance between molecules increases is:

B. liquid to gas

What do chemists think is the best measurement of concentration for describing the concentration of a solid solute dissolved in

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Molarity.

Explanation:

The molarity (M) of a solution is defined as the no. of moles of solute that dissolved in 1.0 liter of the solution.

M = (mass / molar mass) of the solute (1000 / volume of the solution).

<em>So, the best measurement of concentration for describing the concentration of a solid solute dissolved in one liter of a liquid solution is Molarity.</em>

The number of particles in 1 mole of hydrogen gas is ________.

ivanzaharov [21]

Hidrogen gas is a diatomic gas, this is H2, which means that one molecule of gas has two atoms (every molecule of hydrogen gas consists in H2).

The particles in gases are the molecules, not atoms.

So, every molecule is a particle, and when you are told that you have 1 mole of hygrogen gas means that you have 1 mole of H2 molecules which is the same that 1 mole of particles.

Therefore, the answer is one mole.

*WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!<br> Why is it difficult for us to use fusion reactions to produce energy?

kolbaska11 [484]

Fusion occurs constantly on our sun, which produces most of its energy via the nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium. Neither do fusion reactions produce the large amounts of dangerous radioactive waste that fission reactions do. That's why it's such a dreamy source of energy.

I have no idea how to do this, any help would be appreciated

aksik [14]

Proton number = the atomic number (which is the smaller number
neutron number = the mass number (the bigger number) - the atomic number
number of electrons = the atomic number - the charge (it depends on the element but group 1 is +1 group 2 is +2 group 3 is +3 group five is -3 group six is -2 group seven is -1

i would solve the whole thing but its unclear hope this helps tho
