Intermolecular distance is the distance between the particles that make up matter. The graph below compares the intermolecular d

istances in two substances. One substance is gas and the other is a liquid. A bar graph is shown with the title Intermolecular Distance. The y axis title is Distance. The x axis title is Substance. There are two bars on the x axis. One is labeled X and the other is labeled Y. The bar for X is higher than the bar for Y. Which statement best describes the two substances?

Explanation:

In gases, the molecules are held together by weak Vander waal forces. Due to this they have more kinetic energy and hence, more number of collisions take place between the molecules of a gas.

Therefore, they tend to diffuse at a faster rate and distance traveled by them is more as compared to the distance traveled by the molecules of a liquid.

On the other hand in liquids, the molecules are held by more strong intermolecular forces of attraction as compared to gases but not strong enough as they are in solids. Due to this molecules of a liquid are able to slide past each other. Hence, they have medium kinetic energy.

Therefore, less number of collisions take place between molecules of a liquid as compared to gases.

Thus, we can conclude that particles collide in gas so, substance X is a gas.

X is the gas and Y is the liquid. Intermolecular distances are farther apart in gases than in liquids.

slavikrds [6]
The answer would be A will increase and T <span>will decrease.

The product of this reaction emits red light because it absorbs green and blue light. As the reaction occurs, the concentration of the product increase. This will makes absorbance of green and blue light increases and the solution will become redder.</span>

How do I balance chemical equations ?<br>​
Maru [420]

Answer & explanation:

To balance a chemical equation, we must make sure that there are equal amounts of each element in the equation on either side.

To balance an equation step-by-step we first start by counting the amount of each element on each side. If they aren't equal, we must make them amounts equal on either side.

After you make sure all the elements are balanced, the net charge on both sides must also be equal.

The alveoli are surrounded<span> by tiny blood vessels, called capillaries. The </span>alveoli<span> and capillaries both have very thin walls, which allow the oxygen to pass from the </span>alveoli<span>to the blood. The capillaries then connect to larger blood vessels, called veins, which bring the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.</span>

How might cell division help multicellular organisms maintain and repair cells
Komok [63]
Because when the cells divide (resulting in more cells) the multicellular organism mantains its strong cells and when one cell is damaged the other cells compensate for that damaged cell.
