Describe the arrangement of atoms in a solid, liquid, and gas

Chemistry

In a solid, atoms are packed very closely together, almost like an organized grid. They vibrate, and rub against each other, but stay in the same place.
 In a liquid, atoms are farther apart, and slide around each other, which is why if you pour water on the ground, it won't stay in any specific shape unless it is in a container. However it does stay together. Gas on the other hand is very spread out with a lot of space in between the individual atoms. All the space allows gases to expand and contract. Gas atoms bounce around, and will not hold a form or stay together.

How does a sample of water at 38 °C compare to a sample of water at 295 K?
Sidana [21]

Converting the temperature, 295 K from Kelvin to Celsius scale:

295 K - 273 = 22^{0} C

Water has a boiling point of 100^{0}C and a melting point of 0^{0} C

When we compare water at two different temperatures, 22^{0}C and 38^{0}C we can say that water is in liquid form at both these temperatures as both of them are quite below the boiling temperature and above the melting temperature.

The temperature difference between water at the given two temperatures = 38^{0}C - 22^{0}C = 16^{0}C

Water at 38^{0}C is at a higher temperature and so is warmer than water at a lower temperature of 22^{0}C (or 295 K).

What is the density of a peice of metal with a mass of 25.7 g that displaces 15.0 mL of water to 42.1 mL ?
svet-max [94.6K]
V_{x}=42,1mL-15mL=27,1mL\\\\
m=25,7g\\\\\\
d=\frac{m}{V}=\frac{25,7g}{27,1mL}\approx 0,948\frac{g}{mL}

When 3.00 moles of hydrogen molecules and 1.50 moles of oxygen molecules react, they form 3.00 moles of water according to the r
Lynna [10]

Answer:

54.0 g.

Explanation:

  • From the given data and the balanced reaction:

<em>2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O.</em>

<em></em>

When 3.00 moles of hydrogen molecules and 1.50 moles of oxygen molecules react, they form 3.00 moles of water according to the balanced reaction.

<em>∴ The no. of grams in 3.0 moles of water = no. of moles x molar mass </em>= (3.0 mol)(18.0 g/mol) = <em>54.0 g.</em>

For the reaction 2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl, how many grams of chlorine gas are required to react completely with 57.5 mol of sodium?
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

1019.27 g.

Explanation:

  • For the balanced reaction:

<em>2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl,</em>

It is clear 2 moles of Na with 1 mole of Cl₂ to produce 2 moles NaCl.

  • Firstly, we need to calculate the no. of moles of Cl₂ is needed to react with 57.5 mol Na:

2 moles of Na need → 1 mol of Cl₂, from the stichiometry.

57.5 moles of Na need → ??? mol of Cl₂.

<em>∴ The no. of moles of Cl₂ is needed to react with 57.5 mol Na =</em> (1 mol)(57.5 mol)/((2 mol) <em>= 28.75 mol.</em>

<em>∴ the mass of Cl₂ is needed to react with 57.5 mol Na = (no. of moles of Cl₂)(molar mass of Cl₂) =</em> (28.75 mol)(35.453 g/mol) <em>= 1019.27 g.</em>
