Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In solids, atoms are held together because of strong intermolecular forces of attraction between them.

As a result, solids have a definite shape and volume. Hence, its molecules are not able to slide past each other.

Whereas in liquids, molecules are together by less strong forces as compared to solids. Therefore, liquids do not have fixed shape and volume. They occupy the shape of a container in which they are kept together.

Therefore, molecules of a liquid are able to slide past each other.

In gases, molecules are held by weak Vander waal forces. So, they collide rapidly and occupy the volume of container and not the shape. Similarly, plasma is a hot ionized gas which consists of positive ions and negative electrons. Like gases, plasma also occupies the volume of a container.

Thus, we can conclude that liquid is the matter which can fill a container from top to bottom.

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In liquids, the molecules are held by less strong intermolecular forces of attraction as compared to solids.

Hence, liquids do not have a fixed shape but they have a fixed volume. And, liquids have the ability to occupy the shape of any container in which they are placed.

Also, molecules of a liquid are able to slide past each other because they have medium kinetic energy.

Thus, we can conclude that liquid phase of matter has particles that are held together but can flow past each other and takes the shape of a container, filling it from the bottom up.

The combination of potassium-sparing diuretics and salt substitutes can result in dangerously high blood levels of:
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

b. potassium.  

Explanation:

Potassium-sparing diuretics and salt substitutes are diuretics that eliminate salt and water but save potassium. They act by inhibiting the conducting sodium channels in the collecting tubule, such as amiloride and triamterene, or by blocking aldosterone, such as spironolactone.

Concomitant use of potassium-sparing diuretics together with salt substitutes may result in dangerously high blood levels of serum potassium. For this reason, it is important to consult a physician before taking these substances at the same time to avoid potential problems with potassium accumulation.

The reaction H2(g)+F2(g)?2HF(g) is spontaneous at all temperatures. A classmate calculates the entropy change for this reaction
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is there is a mistake in the calculation. The second law of thermodynamics state that in any spontaneous process there is an increase in the entropy of the universe.

Explanation:

According to the second law a reaction will occur in a system spontaneously if the total entropy of both system and surrounding increases during the reaction.That means in case of spontaneous reaction entropy change is always positive.

     But according to the question the reaction H2+F2=2HF is spontaneous in all temperature.So according to the second law of thermodynamics i can say that my classmate made a mistake in calculation that"s why his result for entropy change comes negative.

Determine the heat energy needed to raise the temperature of 120 grams of ice at -5 to steam at 115°
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Q = 30355.2 J

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of ice = 120 g

Initial temperature = -5°C

Final temperature = 115°C

Energy required = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity of ice is = 2.108 j/g.°C

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

Q = m.c. ΔT

ΔT = T2 -T1

ΔT = 115 - (-5°C)

ΔT = 120 °C

Q = 120 g × 2.108 j/g.°C × 120 °C

Q = 30355.2 J
