Why can’t liquids change volume but gases can

Chemistry
1 answer:
natta225 [31]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Liquids cannot change volume but gases can because they have a fixed shape like solids.

Liquids have strong intermolecular forces binding their molecules together resulting is fixed ordering.

  • Gases are randomized with their molecules haphazardly arranged.
  • This allows them to expand spontaneously on their own.
  • Molecules of liquids are more tightly packed compared to gases.
  • In a liquid, the molecules have a less random pattern of motion and can only slide past one another.
  • In a gas, the molecules are in continuous random, straight line motion.

1. Find moles of CoCl2

mass of substance/molar mass = 130/129.833 = 1.001 mol

3. Substitute in molarity equation

M=(1.001/0.5)

M= around 2M

A neutral atom has an atomic number of 20 and a mass number of 42. How many electrons does the atom have?
Bingel [31]

If we have a neutral atom, then it has the same number protons and neutrons.

The number protons and neutrons for neutral atom shows atomic number.

"A neutral atom has an atomic number of 20" means that atom has 20 protons (that give charge "+ 20" ) and 20 electrons (that give charge "-20").

Answer is 20 electrons.
