Substances that have a define size and shape and vibrating particles that are close together are called Solid.

Explanation:

There are three states of matter - solid, liquid and gas.

Lets talk about solid state in detail.

In solid particles are closely packed and so they have very less or no space to move which results in vibrating particles. This results in solid substances having a fixed shape and volume.

The particles have very little space in between them, so it is not easy to compress solid.

There is no free space for particles to slide over each other, which does not allow solids to flow.

Also, particles in solid have a regular arrangement, they are not randomly packed.

Boyle's Law is the pressure-volume law and it relates pressure and volume at constant temperature. Boyle's law states that pressure and volume vary inversely, meaning that as one goes up, the other one goes down.

The atomic mass of magnesium is the weighted average of the atomic masses of

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

2. All the naturally occurring isotopes of Mg.

Explanation:

You want to know the atomic mass of the magnesium you use in the lab. That’s “natural” magnesium. So, you must use the weighted average of all the naturally occurring isotopes in natural Mg.

1. and 3. are wrong. You won’t get the correct mass for natural Mg if you use only the artificial isotopes for your calculation.

4. is wrong. You must use all the naturally occurring isotopes. The two most abundant isotopes of Mg account for only 90 % of the atoms. If you ignore the other 10 %, your calculation will be wrong.

3 common uses for salt

icang [17]

Answer:

Salt has long been used for flavoring and for preserving food. It has also been used in tanning, dyeing and bleaching, and the production of pottery, soap, and chlorine. Today, it is widely used in the chemical industry.

Aqueous solutions of Na2CO3 and Ca(NO3)2, 0.10 M each, are combined. A white precipitate is observed in the container after mixi

anzhelika [568]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Aqueous solutions of $Na_{2}CO_{3}$ and $Ca(NO_{3})_{2}$ , 0.10 M each, are combined. A white precipitate is observed in the container after mixing. he precipitate is filtered andcarefully rinsed with distilled water to remove other ions. A sample of the precipitate is added to 100 mL of 0.1 M NaCl. A second sample of the precipitate is then added to 100 mL of 0.1 M HCl. What would be observed in each case?

Observation upon Observation upon

addition of precipitate addition of precipitate

to NaCl(aq) to HCl(aq)

(A) additional precipitates forms no visible reaction occurs

(B) no visible reaction occurs gas is produced and some precipitate dissolves

(D) additional precipitates forms gas is produced and some

precipitate dissolves

Answer: (B) No visible reaction occurs; Gas is produced and some precipitate dissolves

Explanation: When aqueous solutions of $Na_{2}CO_{3}$ and $Ca(NO_{3})_{2}$ are combined, it reacts according to the following balanced equation:

$Na_{2}CO_{3}+Ca(NO_{3})_{2}$ → $CaCO_{3}_{(s)}+2NaNO_{3}_{(aq)}$

forming calcium carbonate ( $CaCO_{3}$ ), which, as it is insoluble in water, precipitates as a solid of the color white. This process is Precipitation and this reaction is a Precipitation Reaction.

When calcium carbonate reacts with NaCl it produces:

$CaCO_{3}+2NaCl$ → $CaCl_{2}+Na_{2}CO_{3}$

Now, calcium chloride is an inorganic compound very soluble in water, so, in this reaction, there are no precipitate and no visible reaction occurs.

When $CaCO_{3}$ reacts with hydrochloridric acid, the balanced reaction is

$CaCO_{3}+2HCl$ → $CaCl_{2}+H_{2}CO_{3}$

which, also produces calcium chloride and carbonic acid.

Both are soluble in water but, when carbonic acid is in an "aqueous state", carbonic acid, it dissociates, forming carbon dioxide and water. Therefore, gas is produced and some precipitate dissolves.

In conclusion, sentence B is the correct alternative.

A 3.0 l container holds a sample of hydrogen gas at 300 k and 100 kpa. if the pressure increases to 400 kpa and the volume remai

Dahasolnce [82]

The temperature will be 1200K if the volume remained constant

calculation
This is calculated using gay lussac law formula, that is P1/ T1=P2/T2 since the volume is constant
P1 = 100 Kpa
T1= 300 K
P2= 400 Kpa
T2=?

by making T2 the subject of the formula T2 =( P2 xT1)/P1

T2 is therefore = (400 KPa x 300 K) / 100 Kpa = 1200 K
