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.

____ [38]

Answer:

  • <em>Oxidation half-reaction</em>:

Fe²⁺(aq) →  Fe³⁺(aq) + 1e⁻

  • <em>Reduction half-reaction</em>:

Ce⁴⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ →  Ce³⁺(aq)

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

  • Fe²⁺(aq) + Ce⁴⁺(aq) → Fe³⁺(aq) + Ce³⁺(aq)

The <em>oxidation half-reaction</em> is:

  • Fe²⁺(aq) →  Fe³⁺(aq) + 1e⁻

It is an oxidation because the oxidation state of Fe increases from 2+ to 3+.

The <em>reduction half-reaction</em> is:

  • Ce⁴⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ →  Ce³⁺(aq)

It is a reduction because the oxidation state of Ce decreases from 4+ to 3+.

Which postmortem parameter reaches a maximum at 12 hours and is gone within 36 to 48 hours?1.rigor mortis2.cloudiness of the eye
Olenka [21]
The cloudiness of the eyes increases to a maximum and then decreases. This is because initially, after death, all the muscles relax, dilating the pupil. Some time later, rigor mortis sets in, contracting the pupil. Thus, the cloudiness fades.

Draw the mechanism of the slow step that occurs in both first-order substitution and first-order elimination reactions for (R)-3
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

see explaination

Explanation:

We are given the (R)-3-bromo-2,3-dimethylpentane and asking to draw the curved arrow which is the showing the mechanism for first-order substitution and first-order elimination reactions. We know the formation of carbocation is the rate determining step in the first-order substitution and first-order elimination reactions.

So in the (R)-3-bromo-2,3-dimethylpentane there is –Br gets removed and formed the tertiary carbocation which is more stable, so the curved arrows in Box 1 to depict the flow of electrons and intermediate in Box 2.
