Melting is a process where a solid such as ice turns into liquid or water. The molecules of ice slowly moves and becomes unstable as they gain energy. As this energy builds up, kinetic energy increases and the intermolecular forces react because of this energy.Thank you for your question. Please don't hesitate to ask in Brainly your queries.

Which is a pure substance?<br> soda<br> gasoline<br> salt water<br> carbon dioxide
hram777 [196]

Answer: Carbon dioxide is a pure substance.

Explanation: A pure substance is defined when a substance has a single type of molecule. If more than 1 type of molecule is present in a substance, then it is considered as a mixture.

  • Soda is basically a mixture of water and carbon dioxide. More than 1 type of molecule is present.
  • Gasoline is a mixture of may gases. More than 1 type of molecule is present.
  • Salt water contains salt and water molecules, hence it is considered as a mixture.
  • Carbon dioxide has only 1 type of molecule which is CO_2 molecules. Hence, it is a pure substance.

Question 14 A student dissolves 1.5g of styrene C8H8 in 225.mL of a solvent with a density of 1.02/gmL . The student notices tha
Yuki888 [10]

We must to know:

Cm = molarity = niu / Vs, when the niu = no. of moles and Vs = Volume of solution

the no. niu = mass / molecular mass of substance

molecular mass of C8H8 = 12x8+8x1 = 104 g/mol

=> niu = 1,5 / 104 = 0,0144 moles C8H8

=> Cm = 0,0144/0,225 = 0,06 mol/L

Cmm = molality = niu (C8H8) / mass of solvent (kg)

=> p = mass / V => mass (solvent) = p x V

=> 225 x 1,02 = 229,5 g solvent = 0,2295 kg solvent

=> Cmm = 0,0144 / 0,229,5 = 0,063

A sample of gas has a volume of 3.75 L at a temperature of 25°C and a pressure of 1.15 atm. What will the volume be at a tempera
omeli [17]

Answer: V = 5.1 L

Explanation: To find the new volume, we will use the formula of Combined Gas Law and derive V2. We also need to convert first the temperature in Kelvin and convert torr to atm ( 1 atm = 760 torrs ).

Solution attached.

A certain atom has 11 electrons 8 neutrons and a charge of -1. What is it’s atomic mass
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

20 amu

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

Atomic mass = Number of protons + number of neutrons

Atomic number = Number of electrons or number of protons.

In given question it is stated that atom has 11 electrons and -1  charge it means this atom has 12 electrons in neutral state.

Thus it has 12 protons because number of electrons and protons are always equal.

Atomic mass of given atom:

Atomic mass = Number of protons + number of neutrons

Atomic mass = 12 + 8 = 20 amu
