All physical matter has a weight, volume, mass, and density. Physical matter has specific characteristics only in certain physical states. 
Oksi-84 [34.3K]2 years ago

Explanation:

Matter is defined as the substance that has mass and occupies space. So basically a physical property of a substance helps us to determine whether a substance is matter or not.

As a property that does not bring any change in chemical composition of a substance are known as physical properties.

For example, shape, size, mass, volume, density, etc of a substance are all physical properties.

Thus, we can conclude that the defining characteristics of matter are physical properties.

Calculate the total pressure in a 10.0 liter flask at 27°C of a sample of gas that contains 6.0 grams of hydrogen, 15.2 grams of
motikmotik

Answer:

The total pressure is 27.8 atm

Explanation:

From the ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

P (total pressure) = nRT/V

n (total moles of gases) = (6/1 moles of hydrogen) + (15.2/14 moles of nitrogen) + (16.8/4 moles of helium) = 6+1.1+4.2 = 11.3 moles

R = 0.082057L.atm/gmol.K, T = 27°C = 27+273K = 300K, V = 10L

P = 11.3×0.082057×300/10 = 27.8 atm

Binary ionic and binary molecular compounds have what two things that are similar in their composition
Sonbull [250]
Best Answer: Ionic binary compounds -- contain a metal cation and an anion made of a nonmetal or a polyatomic anion. Consider calcium phosphate:
Ca = 2+ (Group IIA)
PO4 = 3- (phosphate)
The lowest common multiple of 2+ and 3- is 6. You must have 3 Ca2+ to make +6; you must have 2 PO43- to make -6. The sum of the positive and negative charges must be equal in a compound because they are electrically neutral.
Ca3(PO4)2 -- calcium phosphate

Binary molecular compounds -- contain two or more nonmetals bonded covalently. There are no ions present because the atoms share electrons. Prefixes are used to indicate the number of atoms of each kind present. Examples are:
SO2 -- sulfur dioxide
N2O4 -- dinitrogen tetraoxide
PCl3 -- phosphorous trichloride
CO -- carbon monoxide

The general formula for an acid is HX, where X is an anion. Binary acids contain H and a nonmetal and are named with the prefix "hydro" and the suffix "ic". Examples are:
HCl -- hydrochloric acid
H2S -- hydrosulfuric acid
HF -- hydrofluoric acid
Ternary acids contain H and a polyatomic anion. Examples are:
H2SO4 -- sulfuric acid
HNO3 -- nitric acid
HNO2 -- nitrous acid
HClO3 -- chloric acid
HClO2 -- chlorous acid
HClO -- hypochlorous acid
The names of the anions are changed as follows:
-ate anions form -ic acids
-ite anions form -ous acids
per...ate anions form per...ic acids
hypo...ite anions form hypo...ous acids.

The half life for the decay of radium is 1620 years what is the rate constant
Lilit [14]
Decay is a type of degradation reaction and thus is considered a first order reaction. thus the formula goes like this.
 
rate constant= 0.693/half life

so here...

rate constant= 0.693/1620 year^-1
