Answer: The state of the substance is most likely to be is liquid state.

Explanation:

States of matter of three types:

1) Solids: In this state of matter particles are strongly associated due to high inter molecular forces acting between them. They have a fixed shape that is they doesn't take the shape of the container in which they are kept.

2) Liquids: In this state of matter particles are associated due to weak inter molecular forces acting between them. They don't have a fixed shape that is they take the shape of the container in which they are kept. They do not occupy the whole volume of the container.

3) Gases: In this state of matter particles are very weakly associated . They don't have a fixed shape that is they take the shape of the container in which they are kept. They occupy the whole volume of the container.

The state of the matter most likely is liquid state.

What is the molar concentration of chloride ions in a
Yanka [14]

Answer:

The concentration of chloride ions in the final solution is 3 M.

Explanation:

The number of moles present in a solution can be calculated as follows:

number of moles = concentration in molarity * volume

In 100 ml of a 2 M KCl solution, there will be (0.1 l * 2mol/l) 0.2 mol Cl⁻

For every mol of CaCl₂, there are 2 moles of Cl⁻, then, the number of moles of Cl⁻ in 50 l of a 1.5 M solution will be:

number of moles of Cl⁻ = 2 * number of moles of  CaCl₂

number of moles of Cl⁻ = 2 ( 50 l * 1.5 mol / l ) = 150 mol Cl⁻

The total number of moles of Cl⁻ present in the solution will be (150 mol + 0.2 mol ) 150.2 mol.

Assuming ideal behavior, the volume of the final solution will be ( 50 l + 0.1 l) 50.1 l. The molar concentration of chloride ions will be:

Concentration = number of moles of Cl⁻ / volume

Concentration = 150.2 mol / 50.1 l = 3.0 M

When the nail was copper-plated in Part III of the lab, what element do you think was reduced? Explain your answer in complete s
Jet001 [13]
Reduction <span>always results in a lowering of the oxidation number. The reaction of the system above is written as:

</span><span>Cu2+(aq) + Fe(s) --> Cu(s) + Fe2+(aq) 
</span>
From the reaction, we see that copper goes from the +2 to a neutral charge. Lowering of the oxidation number happens so this is the element that is being reduced.

Fan blades would be an analogy for which atomic model?
julia-pushkina [17]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. Fan blades would be an analogy for electron cloud model. Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger (1887-1961) developed an “Electron Cloud Model<span>” in 1926. It consisted of a dense nucleus surrounded by a cloud of electrons. Hope this helps.</span>
