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 solution is made by dissolving 26.42g of (NH4)2so4 in enough h2o to make 50.00ml of solution

DochEvi [55]

Moles of ammonium sulfate = 26.42/molar mass of (NH4)2SO4
= 26.42/132.14 = 0.19 mole.

Molarity = moles of ammonium sulfate/volume of solution
= 0.19/50x10^-3
= 3.8M

Aliyah marks a line on her driveway with a piece of chalk and another line 50ft away Then she stands with both feet at the line

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Speed

Explanation:

Aliyah must have been trying to find her speed.

The speed is a measure of how fast an object or a body is and it is calculated by finding the ratio of distance with time. Mathematically,

speed = $\frac{distance}{time}$ with a unit of m/s.

<em>Hence, with the distance measured on the ground and Aliyah trying to find the time it will take her to cover the distance while running, she must have been trying to find how fast she can run, that is, speed. </em>
