Benzoic acid, C6H5COOH, melts at 122°C. The density in the liquid state at 130°C is 1.08g/cm3. The density of solid benzoic acid

at 15°C is 1.266g/cm3. In which of these two states is the average distance between molecules greater? If you converted a cubic centimeter of liquid benzoic acid into a solid, would the solid take up more, or less, volume than the original cubic centimeter of liquid?

Answer:

The correct answer is: Liquid state;  Less volume

Explanation:

Density (ρ) is the physical property of a substance. It is equal to the mass per unit volume of a given substance. The SI unit of density is kg/m³.

Density (ρ) = mass (m) ÷ volume (V)

<u>Given:</u> density of liquid benzoic acid = 1.08 g/cm³ and density of solid benzoic acid = 1.266 g/cm³

As 1.08 g of benzoic acid occupies 1 cm³ volume in the liquid state and 1.266 g of benzoic acid occupies 1 cm³ volume in the solid state.

<u>Thus the molecules of benzoic acid are more densely packed in the solid state as compared to the liquid state</u>.

<u>Therefore, the average distance between the molecules of benzoic acid is greater in the liquid state as compared to the solid state.</u>

<u />

Also, as the benzoic acid in the solid state is more densely packed than benzoic acid in the liquid state.

So, <u>if 1 cm³ of liquid benzoic acid is solidified</u>, then the volume occupied by solid benzoic acid having the same mass, <u>occupies less space or volume as compared to the liquid benzoic acid.</u>

Calculate the frequency of radiation with a wavelength of 1.08 x 10^-6 m. simple explanation please​
pishuonlain [190]
C = vf
c stands for the speed of waves (which is a constant that is 3 x 10^8)
v stands for the wavelength (which is given)
f stands for frequency (what we are solving for)
3 x 10^8 = (1.08 x 10^-6)f
Divide both sides by the given wavelength
f = 2.78 * 10^14 seconds

The equilibrium constant is given for two of the reactions below. Determine the value of the missing equilibrium constant. 2A(g)
monitta

Answer:

The value of the missing equilibrium constant ( of the first equation) is 1.72

Explanation:

First equation: 2A + B ↔ A2B   Kc = TO BE DETERMINED

 ⇒ The equilibrium expression for this equation is written as: [A2B]/[A]²[B]

Second equation: A2B + B ↔ A2B2   Kc= 16.4

⇒ The equilibrium expression is written as: [A2B2]/[A2B][B]

Third equation:  2A + 2B ↔ A2B2     Kc = 28.2

⇒ The equilibrium expression is written as: [A2B2]/ [A]²[B]²

If we add the first to the second equation

2A + B + B ↔ A2B2   the equilibrium constant Kc will be X(16.4)

But the sum of these 2 equations, is the same as the third equation ( 2A + 2B ↔ A2B2)   with Kc = 28.2

So this means: 28.2 = X(16.4)

or X = 28.2/16.4

X = 1.72

with X = Kc of the first equation

The value of the missing equilibrium constant ( of the first equation) is 1.72
