Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In a solid, molecules are held together by strong intermolecular forces of attraction. As a result, they are unable to move from their initial place but they can vibrate at their mean position.  

Hence, in solid substances the molecules have low kinetic energy.

Whereas in liquids, the molecules are held by less strong intermolecular forces of attraction as compared to solids. Due to which they are able to slide past each other. Hence, they have high kinetic energy as compared to molecules of a solid.

Therefore, as sample D is retaining its shape so, it is a solid.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement D is a solid because it retains its shape correctly describes the state of matter of one of the samples.

Given the following balanced chemical reaction:
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

according to balance chemical equation

  3 A2 moles produced 2 moles of A3B

so 12 moles A2 will produced moles of A3B= 12*2/3=24/3= 8

therefore 12 moles of A2 produced 8 moles of A3B

Imagine two solutions with the same concentration and the same boiling point, but one has ethanol as the solvent and the other h
defon

Answer: m = 0.42; Tb = 79°

Explanation: The relationship between boiling point of the solvent above a solution is directly proportional to the molal concentration of the solute, i.e.:

ΔT = K_{b}.m

where

ΔT is the change in boiling point of the solvent;

K_{b} is the molal boiling point elevation constant;

m is the molal concentration of the solute in the solution;

For there two solutions:

1) Ethanol:

ΔT = K_{b}.m

Tb - T_{normal} = K_{b}.m

Tb - 78.4 = 1.22.m (1)

2) Carbon Tetrachloride:

Tb - T_{normal} = K_{b}.m

Tb - 76.8 = 5.03.m (2)

Solving the system of equations:

Tb - 78.4 = 1.22.m

Tb = 1.22.m + 78.4 (3)

Substituing (3) in (2)

1.22.m + 78.4 - 76.8 = 5.03m

3.81m = 1.6

m = 0.42

With m, find Tb:

T - 76.8 = 5.03.0.42

T = 2.11 + 76.8

T = 79°

<u>Molal</u> concentration is <u>0.42</u> and boiling point is 79°

A sample of water with a mass of 27.56g and an unknown temperature loses 2443 Joules. If the final temperature is found to be 62
mixer [17]

Answer:

41.3 °C

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (M) of water = 27.56 g

Heat (Q) loss = 2443 J

Final temperature (T2) = 62.5 °C

Initial temperature (T1) =?

NOTE: The specific heat capacity (C) of water is 4.18 J/g°C

Thus, we can obtain the initial temperature of the water by using the following formula:

Q = MC(T2 – T1)

2443 = 27.56 × 4.18 (62.5 – T1)

2443 = 115.2008 (62.5 – T1)

Divide both side by 115.2008

2443 / 115.2008 = (62.5 – T1)

21.20645 = 62.5 – T1

Collect like terms

21.20645 – 62.5 = – T1

– 41.3 = – T1

Divide both side by – 1

– 41.3 /– 1= – T1 / –1

41.3 = T1

T1 = 41.3 °C

Thus, the initial temperature of the water was 41.3 °C
