Answer: Molecules of gas are usually far apart and can be compressed unlike molecules of liquids.

Explanation:

The molecules of gases are usually far apart, moving freely and randomly, occupying extra space in the containing vessel. Hence, when compressed to become closely packed, gases have lower volume.

However, unlike gases, the molecules of a liquid are restricted, move less freely and occupy no extra space. Hence, liquids cannot be compressed, and their volume remains the same in their containing vessel.

Which step will decrease the pressure of a gas inside a closed cubical container? increasing the number of moles of gas decreasi

Jobisdone [24]

Answer: Decreasing the temperature inside the container will decrease the pressure of a gas inside a closed cubical container.

Explanation:

According to Gay-Lussac's Law : 'The pressure of the gas increases with increase in temperature of the gas when volume of the gas is kept constant'.

$(Pressure)\propto (Temperature)$

At constant volume, pressure of the gas will decrease on decreasing the temperature or vice versa.

Decreasing the temperature inside the container will decrease the pressure of a gas inside a closed cubical container.

What volume, in milliliters, of a 0.997 M KOH solution is needed to neutralize 30.0 mL of 0.0400 M HCl?

deff fn [24]

Answer:

1.2 mL

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated:

HCl + KOH —> KCl + H₂O

From the balanced equation,

Mole ratio of the acid, HCl (nₐ) = 1

Mole ratio of base, KOH (n₆) = 1

Finally, we shall determine the volume of the base, KOH needed to neutralize the acid, HCl as follow:

Molarity of base, KOH (M₆) = 0.997 M

Volume of acid, HCl (Vₐ) = 30 mL

Molarity of acid, HCl (Mₐ) = 0.0400 M

Volume of base, KOH (V₆) =?

MₐVₐ / M₆V₆ = nₐ/n₆

0.04 × 30 / 0.997 × V₆ = 1/1

1.2 / 0.997 × V₆ = 1

Cross multiply

0.997 × V₆ = 1.2

Divide both side by 0.997

V₆ = 1.2 / 0.997

V₆ = 1.2 mL

Thus, the volume of the base, KOH needed to neutralize the acid is 1.2 mL.

What is the tool used for measuring volume?

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Liquid volume is usually measured using either a graduated cylinder or a buret. As the name implies, a graduated cylinder is a cylindrical glass or plastic tube sealed at one end, with a calibrated scale etched (or marked) on the outside wall.

How many protons, electrons, and neutrons does 1 H+ isotope contain

nlexa [21]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

H+ contains 1 proton, 0 neutrons, 0 electrons.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction.
Atoms are made of sub-atomic particles neutrons and protons found in the nucleus and electrons found in the energy levels.
A hydrogen atom contains 1 proton and 0 neutrons in the nucleus and 1 electron in the energy levels.
A hydrogen atom loses an electron to form an ion with 1 proton, 0 neutron and 0 electron.
