Answer:

When an element or substance is in a liquid state, the particles are joined by less attractive forces than in solids, for this reason the particles of a liquid can move freely.For this reason the particles of a liquid can move freely and need a recipient that contains them .

Liquids have a defined volume but with a variable shape, this means that liquids adopt the shape of the container but always occupy the same space

For example, if we have 4 L of water in a round container, its shape is round and now we put the water in a square container, its shape is now square but its volume is still 4 L (it continues to occupy the same space)

Why do some atoms form positive ions and others form negative ions?
Scrat [10]
It is energetically favorable for all atoms to have a complete outer electron shell. Loosely, the atoms on the left hand side of the periodic table only have a few extra electrons in their outer shell so it is energetically favorable for them to lose them. The atoms on the right hand side of the periodic table almost have enough electrons in their outer shell and so they have a tendency to gain them. Once electrons have left an electron shell, an atom will have a positive charge because it has more protons (positive charges) than electrons (negative charges). Similarly, an electron which has gained electrons to complete its outer shell will have a negative charge because it now has more electrons (negative charge) than protons (positive charge).

The equilibrium constant, Kc, for the following reaction is 5.10×10-6 at 548 K. NH4Cl(s) NH3(g) + HCl(g) Calculate the equilibri
levacccp [35]

<u>Answer:</u> The equilibrium concentration of HCl is 2.26\times 10^{-3}M

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Moles of NH_4Cl(s) = 0.564 moles

Volume of vessel = 1.00 L

Molarity is calculated by using the equation:

\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}

Molarity of NH_4Cl=\frac{0.564}{1}=0.564M

The given chemical equation follows:

                  NH_4Cl(s)\rightleftharpoons NH_3(g)+HCl(g)

<u>Initial:</u>         0.564

<u>At eqllm:</u>     0.564-x          x              x

The expression of K_c for above equation follows:

K_c=[NH_3][HCl]

The concentration of pure solid and pure liquid is taken as 1.

We are given:

K_c=5.10\times 10^{-6}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

5.10\times 10^{-6}=x\times x\\\\x=2.26\times 10^{-3}M,-2.26\times 10^{-3}M

Negative sign is neglected because concentration cannot be negative.

So, [HCl]=2.26\times 10^{-3}M

Hence, the equilibrium concentration of HCl is 2.26\times 10^{-3}M
