Answer: When an inert gas is added to the system in equilibrium at constant pressure, then the total volume will increase.
Explanation:
Given:
257J of heat
5500g of mercury
increase by 5.5
degrees Celsius
Required:
Specific heat of
mercury
Solution:
H
= mCpT
257J = (5500g of
mercury) Cp (5.5 degrees Celsius)
Cp = 8.5 x 10^-3
Joules per gram per degree Celsius
Properties of a compound is completely different from their elements.
Water is composed by hydrogen and oxygen.
For example, the boiling point of oxygen is - 183 °C and hydrogen is - 253 °C, meanwhile, water has a boiling point of 100°C
Another example is when you put a burning wooden splint into oxygen, it burns more brightly. Put it in hydrogen, you may hear a "pop" sound, or even explode when large amount of hydrogen. But if u put a burning splint in water, it goes off.
Answer:
1. 
2. 
Explanation:
An ion is formed when an atom that is said to be neutral gains or losses electrons.
It is thought that a negative ion (anion) is produced as it gains electrons and a positive ion (cation) is formed when it loses an electron.
Atomic number is the total number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom.
From the information
Protons = 14
electron = 18
Net Charge = no of proton - no of electron
= 14 - 18 = -4
Mass number = 14 + 15 = 29
Thus, the chemical symbol = 
For ion with 27 proton, 32 neutrons and 25 electrons
Net charge = 27 - 25 = +2
Mass number = 27 + 32 = 59
Thus, the chemical symbol = 
Solids are packed together closely, liquids are farther apart but still relatively close, and gases are very far apart with lots of space.
