Which best describes why a liquid needs a container when a solid does not?

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)

liquid is fluid in motion, needing to be contained. while a solid state of matter is as such and won't run down the cabinet

Do you think thermal expansion affects all states of matter or just the solid? Explain your thinking.
torisob [31]

Answer:

All three states of matter (solid, liquid and gas) expand when heated. The atoms themselves do not expand, but the volume they take up does.

When a solid is heated, its atoms vibrate faster about their fixed points. The relative increase in the size of solids when heated is therefore small. Metal railway tracks have small gaps so that when the sun heats them, the tracks expand into these gaps and don’t buckle.

Liquids expand for the same reason, but because the bonds between separate molecules are usually less tight they expand more than solids. This is the principle behind liquid-in-glass thermometers. An increase in temperature results in the expansion of the liquid which means it rises up the glass.

Molecules within gases are further apart and weakly attracted to each other. Heat causes the molecules to move faster, (heat energy is converted to kinetic energy) which means that the volume of a gas increases more than the volume of a solid or liquid.

However, gases that are contained in a fixed volume cannot expand - and so increases in temperature result in increases in pressure.:

If a 45 mM phosphate solution(solution A) had an absorbance of 1.012. What would be the absorbance if 11 mL of solution A was us
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

0.550

Explanation:

The absorbance (A) of a substance depends on its concentration (c) according to Beer-Lambert law.

A = ε . <em>l</em> . c

where,

ε: absorptivity of the species

<em>l</em>: optical path length

A 45 mM phosphate solution (solution A) had an absorbance of 1.012.

A = ε . <em>l</em> . c

1.012 = ε . <em>l</em> . 45 mM

ε . <em>l</em>  = 0.022 mM⁻¹

We can find the concentration of the second solution using the dilution rule.

C₁ . V₁ = C₂ . V₂

45mM . 11mL = C₂ . 20.0 mL

C₂ = 25 mM

The absorbance of the second solution is:

A = (ε . <em>l</em> ). c

A = (0.022 mM⁻¹) . 25 mM = 0.55 (rounding off to 3 significant figures = 0.550)

What was done to the linear parent function, f(x) = x, to get the function<br>g(x) = 1/6 x​
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Vertically Shrunk by a factor of 1/6

Explanation:

Parent Formula: f(x) = a(bx - c) + d

<em>a</em> - vertical shrink/stretch and x-reflections

<em>b</em> - horizontal shrink/stretch and y-reflections

<em>c</em> - horizontal movement left/right

<em>d</em> - vertical movement up/down

Since we are only modifying <em>a</em>, we are dealing with vertical shrink/stretch:

Since a < 1 (1/6 < 1), we are dealing with a vertical shrink of 1/6.

Since a > 0 (1/6 > 0), we do not have a reflection over the x-axis.

How many milliliters of a 10.6 M NaOH solution are needed to prepare 0.715 L solution of NaOH with a concentration of 0.550 M?
dusya [7]

Answer:

37.1mL

Explanation:

This is a simple dilution problem where you utilize the equation:

(C=Concentration, V=Volume)

C1V1=C2V2

10.6(y)=0.715x0.550 (Y is unknown because we are trying to find how much of the original solution we need to dilute to make the final solution)

The solve for y and you get

y= 0.0317 L but this is in L and we want mL so multiply by 1000 you get

y= 37.1mL
