Why does a liquid take the shape but not the volume of its container

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ber [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The attraction between the particles in a liquid keeps the volume of the liquid constant. The movement of the particles causes the liquid to be variable in shape. Liquids will flow and fill the lowest portion of a container, taking on the shape of the container but not changing in volume.

A saturated solution of Pb(IO3)2 in pure water has a lead ion concentration of 5.0 x 10-5 Molar. What is the Ksp value of Pb(IO3
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Option (E) is correct

Explanation:

Solubility equilibrium of Pb(IO_{3})_{2} is given as follows-

                   Pb(IO_{3})_{2}\rightleftharpoons Pb^{2+}+2IO_{3}^{-}

Hence, if solubility of Pb(IO_{3})_{2} is S (M) then-

                             [Pb^{2+}]=S(M) and [IO_{3}^{-}]=2S(M)

Where species under third bracket represent equilibrium concentrations

So, solubility product of Pb(IO_{3})_{2} , K_{sp}=[Pb^{2+}][IO_{3}^{-}]^{2}

Here, [Pb^{2+}]=S(M)=5.0\times 10^{-5}M

So, [IO_{3}^{-}]=2S(M)=(2\times 5.0\times 10^{-5})M=1.0\times 10^{-4}M

So, K_{sp}=(5.0\times 10^{-5})\times (1.0\times 10^{-4})^{2}=5.0\times 10^{-13}

Hence option (E) is correct

Use molecular structure and intermolecular bonding to describe why bromine has a lower boiling point than water
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Bromine mollecules are held together by van der waals forces while a water molecule constitutes both van der waals forces and hydrogen bomnding

Explanation:

This makes the water molecule recquire more heat energy to break the bond thus a higher boiling point while bromine structure requires just litttle heat energy

Please Help! It says fill in the blanks to complete the Punnett square below to show the results of a cross between a homozygous
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Genotypes: Homozygous (GG)=50%, Heterozygous (Gg)=50%.

Phenotypes: Homozygous gray (GG)=50%, Heterozygous gray (Gg)=50% or just Gray=100%

Explanation:

Hello,

The Punnett square for this cross turns into:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}&G&g\\G&GG&Gg\\G&GG&Gg\end{array}\right]

It means that the genotypes and phenotypes are:

Genotypes: Homozygous (GG)=50%, Heterozygous (Gg)=50%.

Phenotypes: Homozygous gray (GG)=50%, Heterozygous gray (Gg)=50% or just Gray=100%

Best regards.

The elements silicon (atomic number 14) and chlorine (atomic number 17) are both in Period 3. Which is the more reactive element
Svetlanka [38]

Answer;

-Chlorine is more reactive than silicon

Explanation;

-As you move across a period, the nuclear charge will increase; the number of energy levels will stay the same, so there is a stronger and stronger attraction for the electrons.

-The electrons are being held more tightly as you move across a period. It becomes more and more difficult to lose electrons and consequently the reactivity of non metals increases as you go from left to right across the periodic table; Therefore; chlorine is more reactive than silicon.
