Answer:

Gaseous phase exert more pressure on container.

Explanation:

Pressure:

It is the force exerted by the substance on its container.

Mathematical expression:

P = F/A

P = pressure

F = force

A = area

We know that there are phases of matter solid liquid and gas.

Gases don't have definite volume and shape and take the shape and volume of container in which it present.  Molecule of gases randomly move everywhere and occupy all available space.  The molecules of gas randomly move collide with each other and also the wall of container their kinetic energy also increased because of this collision and pressure is produced

While in case of liquid molecules are packed and they can not move freely thus did not exert pressure like gaseous molecules.

In case of solids molecules are tightly packed and form more compact structure. They can not move thus did not exert pressure to the wall of container.

Properties of gases:

Molecule of gases randomly move everywhere and occupy all available space.

Gases don't have definite volume and shape and take the shape and volume of container in which it present.

Their densities are very low as compared to the liquid and solids.

Gas molecules are at long distance from each other therefore by applying pressure gases can be compressed.

The very weak inter molecular forces are present between gas molecules.

Properties of Liquid:

Liquid have definite volume but don,t have definite shape.

Their densities are high as compared to the gases but low as compared to the solids.

In liquid, molecules are close to each other and have greater inter molecular forces as compared to the gas molecules.

Properties of solids:

Solids have definite volume and shape.

In solids molecules are tightly pack and very close to each other.

Their melting and boiling point are every high.

The densities of solids are also very high as compared to the liquid and gas.

There are very strong inter molecular forces are present between solid molecules.

Which indicator most likely suggests that a chemical change is taking place? 1)change in size 2)change of color 3)change of stat
Tresset [83]

Out of the options, the best indicator is a color change since it is the only one that can't really be blamed on a physical change.  you will eventually notice that during qualitative labs and some quantitative labs, usually the thing that you are looking for is either color change or the production of a precipitate to indicate the presence of a chemical reaction

Leya [2.2K]

It should be noted that when Brian first sorted out his thoughts, the first thing that he thought would happen next is that he would probably be rescued that day.

It should be noted that in Chapter 5 of Hatchet, Brian wakes up in the forest and then, he realized that he was desperately thirsty.

When Brian first sorted out his thoughts, he figured this was the first day after the crash and that he would probably be rescued that day. He believed that he was going to wither up and die if he doesn't get anything that he'll drink.

A human red blood cell is about 0.000008 meters in diameter which of the following represents this number in scientific notation
lukranit [14]

<u>Given:</u>

Diameter of a red blood cell = 0.000008

<u>To determine:</u>

The scientific notation corresponding to the given number

<u>Explanation:</u>

Scientific notation is a concise way of representing a very large or small number. It is written in two parts:

Given Number = Digits * Power of 10

In this case we have:

0.000008 = 8.0 * 10⁻⁶
