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.

Why less electro negative elements are taken as central atom​
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The least electronegative elements in the center of lewis structures because an atom in the central position shares more of its electrons than does a terminal atom. Atoms with higher electronegative are generally more reluctant to share their electrons.

aseous methane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 5.5 g of methane is
maksim [4K]

Answer:

There is 9.6 grams of CO2 produced

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of methane = 5.50 grams

Molar mass of methane = 16.04 g/mol

Mass of oxygen = 13.9 grams

Molar mass of oxygen = 32.0 g/mol

Step 2: The reaction

CH4(g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

Step 3: Calculate number of moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles methane = 5.50 grams / 16.04 g/mol

Moles methane = 0.343 moles

Moles oxygen = 13.9 grams / 32.0 g/mol

Moles oxygen = 0.434 moles

For 1 mol CH4 we need 2 moles O2 to produce 1 mol CO2 and 2 moles H2O

O2 is the limiting reactant. It will completely react (0.434 moles).

There will react 0.434/2 = 0.217 moles CH4

There will remain 0.343-0.217 = 0.126 moles CH4

There will be produced 0.434 moles of H2O and

0.434/2 =0.217 moles of CO2

Step 4: Calculate mass of products

Mass = moles * molar mass

Mass CO2 = 0.217 moles ¨44.01 g/mol

Mass CO2 = 9.6 grams

Mass H2O = 0.434 moles * 18.02

Mass H2O = 7.8 grams

1. 90.0 mL of distilled water is added to a 10.0mL sample of 0.150mol/L sodium
aniked [119]

Answer: dilute

Explanation:

A concentrated solution which is used to prepare solutions of lower concentrations by diluting it with addition of water.

A dilute solution is one which contains lower concentration.

Using Molarity equation:

M_1 =concentration of stock solution = 0.150 mol/L

V_1 = volume of stock solution = 10.0 ml

M_2 = concentration of dilute solution = ?

V_2 = volume of dilute solution = (10.0+90.0) ml = 100.0 ml

0.150\times 10.0=M_2\times 100.0

M_2=0.015mol/L

As the concentration is less than the original concentration, the solution is termed as dilute.

HEEEEELP ASAPP IM AWARDING 30 points!!!!
alexira [117]

Answer:

\rm S^{2-}.

Explanation:

Based on the electron configuration of this ion, count the number of electrons in this ion in total:

2 + (2 + 6) + (2 + 6) = 18.

Each electron has a charge of (-1).

Atoms are neutral and have 0 charge. However, when an atom gains one extra electron, it becomes an ion with a charge of (-1). Likewise, when that ion gains another electron, the charge on this ion would become (-2).

The ion in this question has a charge of (-2). In other words, this ion is formed after its corresponding atom gains two extra electrons. This ion has 18 electrons in total. Therefore, the atom would have initially contained 18 - 2 = 16 electrons. The atomic number of this atom would be 16.

Refer to a modern copy of the periodic table. The element with an atomic number of 16 is sulphur with atomic symbol \rm S. To denote the ion, place the charge written backwards ("2-" for a charge of (-2)) as the superscript of the atomic symbol:

\rm S^{2-}.
