Answer:

Solid

Explanation:

A solid maintains a constant shape and a constant volume.

B is wrong, because a liquid maintains its volume but assumes the shape of the container.

C is wrong, because a gas maintains neither a constant shape nor a constant volume.

Answer:

solid

Explanation:

First let's look at the difference between the states of matter

Most solids maintain their shape regardless of where they are contained

Liquids and gases take the form of the container that contains them

In addition the gases expand their volume and tend to occupy the entire surface where they are contained

For example, if we have a certain volume of water in a square container, the water will have this shape

If we take the same volume and place it in a spherical container it will stop being square and will adapt to the spherical shape

At the beginning it is placed in a square box and they tell us that it maintains its spherical shape then it is contained in a spherical container and maintains its shape and volume

It maintains its shape and volume regardless of the container that contains it, therefore it is in a solid state

What most likely led to a change in the widely accepted theory of evolution? new experiments involving genes and evolution exper

ss7ja [257]

Incomplete question. Full question reads;

Darwin developed the theory of evolution to explain why there are so many different kinds of living things. He could easily observe that offspring of any animals were slightly different from their parents and that this could allow for big changes over thousands of years. He did not know that genes caused the differences. Genes are now very important in the modern theory of evolution.

What most likely led to a change in the widely accepted theory of evolution?

Answer:

new experiments involving genes and evolution

Explanation:

Indeed, the original theory of evolution has experienced several changes in its acceptance because of its imperfect and wrong assumptions not based on generally acceptable scientific facts,

Hence, new experiments involving genes and evolution has led to a change (disagreements and few agreements) in the widely accepted theory of evolution.

How is burning magnesium different than burning methane

olya-2409 [2.1K]

You can stop the burning of methane with water or carbon dioxide extinguishers but problems arise when you try to use this to stop the burning of the magnesium.

Explanation:

To burn magnesium (Mg) and methane (CH₄) you need to react them with oxygen:

2 Mg (s) + O₂ (g) → 2 MgO + heat

CH₄ (g) + 2 O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g) + 2 H₂O (g) + heat

However at that temperatures magnesium (Mg) is able to react with water (H₂O) and carbon dioxide (CO₂).

Mg (s) + 2 H₂O (l) → Mg(OH)₂ (s) + H₂ (g)

2 Mg (s) + CO₂ (g) → 2 MgO (s) + C (s)

So the safe option to stop the burning of the magnesium is to limit the oxygen in the air.

we have used the following notations:

(s) - solid

(g) - gas

(l) - liquid
