Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Solid and liquid are the states of matter. Plasma is also a state of matter where a number of electrons move freely around the nucleus of an atom.

Whereas water is a liquid itself and liquid is a state of matter but water is not a state of matter.

Therefore, we can conclude that water is not a state of matter.

$\boxed{{\text{C}}{\text{. Water}}}$ is not a state of matter.

Further Explanation:

Matter:

Anything that acquires space and has mass is termed as matter. It is made up of atoms. These atoms can be bonded so strongly or can be far apart from each other. The states of matter can be classified on the basis of features that are visible or can be felt.

States of matter:

1. Solid

It has a definite shape and volume. These are generally hard and have a regular arrangement of its constituent particles. These can be amorphous or crystalline. The intermolecular forces in the solids are very strong and thus the motion of particles in solid is almost negligible. Rock, wood, sugar, and diamond are examples of solids.

2. Liquid

It has a definite volume but can have the shape of any container in which it is placed. The intermolecular forces in the liquids are weaker than that in solids and thus the motion of particles in liquids is more as compared to solids. These have the property to flow. Water, mercury and bromine are examples of liquids.

3. Gas

It has neither a definite shape nor a definite volume. These are highly compressible and have an irregular or disordered arrangement of its constituent particles. The intermolecular forces in the gases are the weakest and thus the motion of particles in a gas is very high. Oxygen, hydrogen and carbon dioxide are examples of gases.

4. Plasma

It has neither a definite volume nor a definite volume. It is present in ionized gases but its uniqueness differentiates it from gases. Plasma contains free charges that make it conductive. Stars and neon signs are examples of plasma.

So solid, liquid and plasma are the states of matter. But water is an example of liquid and therefore an example of a state of matter. Therefore water is not a state of matter.

Answer:

1.8 moles of O₂

Explanation:

The balance chemical equation for said double replacement (photosynthesis) reaction is as follow;

6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂

According to balance chemical equation,

6 moles of O₂ are produced by = 6 moles of CO₂

So,

1.8 moles of O₂ will be produced by = X moles of O₂

Solving for X,

X = 1.8 mol × 6 mol / 6 mol

X = 1.8 moles of O₂

Stoichiometric problems in which moles are given and moles or other reactant or product asked are the simplest problems. One should only write the balanced chemical equation and perform above method to find the required moles.

Which term refers to an electrochemical cell that produces an electric current?

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Correct answer: Galvanic cell

Reason:
Following are the differences between Galvanic cell and electrolytic cell:
1. Galvanic cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy , on other hand electrolytic cell converts electrical energy into chemical energy.
2. In galvanic cell, redox reaction is spontaneous and is responsible for the production of electrical energy. in electrolytic cell, the redox reaction is not spontaneous and electrical energy has to be supplied to initiate the reaction.

Thus, galvanic cell refers to an electrochemical cell that produces an electric current
