Answer:
The water molecules slow down, stronger attractions form between them, and the molecules are pulled closer together.
Explanation:
In solids the packing of the particles is closer and tighter thus increasing the intermolecular attraction. This makes solids rigid with a definite shape, size and volume. On the other hand in liquids the packing of the particles is loose thus decreasing the intermolecular attraction. This makes liquids able to flow, and takes the shape and volume of the container in which they are placed.
Let's start with the amount given in percent. Let our basis be 100 grams of compound. So, that means that in this amount, 57.1 g is oxygen and 100-57.1=42.9 g is carbon. Since there is 1:1 atom ratio, it also means that moles oxygen = moles carbon.
Moles = Mass/Relative Mass
Let x be the relative mass of oxygen
57.1/16 = 42.9/x
Solving for x,
<em>x = 12.02 amu</em>
Answer:
49.35 mL
Explanation:
Given: 56.2 mL of gas
To find: volume that 56.2 mL of gas at 820 mm of Hg would occupy at 720 mm of Hg
Solution:
At 820 mm of Hg, volume of gas is 56.2 mL
At 1 mm of Hg, volume of gas is 
At 720 mm of Hg, volume of gas is
