In complete sentences, describe the behavior of a substance in each state of matter if placed in a closed container

Chemistry

Bezzdna [24]3 years ago

In a closed container the three states of matter would be solid, liquid and gas

Solid- The solid exists as a rigid solid and has fixed shape and volume. Strong inter molecular and intramuscular forces inhibit the solid from losing its shape and occupying the volume of container.

Liquid- It takes the shape of the container  but not the volume of the container. This means the kinetic energy is not large enough for the liquid to cover all the space inside the container.

Gas- The gas expands to take both the shape and volume of the container. This would explain why a balloon inflates when you blow air into it.

Identify which one is the reducing agent in this reaction
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Na.

Explanation:

  • The oxidation-reduction reaction contains a reductant and an oxidant (oxidizing agent).
  • An oxidizing agent, or oxidant, gains electrons and is reduced in a chemical reaction. Also known as the electron acceptor, the oxidizing agent is normally in one of its higher possible oxidation states because it will gain electrons and be reduced.
  • A reducing agent (also called a reductant or reducer) is an element (such as calcium) or compound that loses (or "donates") an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction.

  • For the reaction:

<em>2Na + S → Na₂S.</em>

<em></em>

Na is oxidized to Na⁺ in (Na₂S) (loses 1 electron). "reducing agent".

S is reduced to S²⁻ in (Na₂S) (gains 2 electrons). "oxidizing agent".
