Which of the following best describes solids?

Chemistry

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Solids are the substances whose molecules are closely packed together due strong inter molecular forces between them. This causes the solid to have a fixed shape and volume.

Whereas density is mass divided by per unit volume.

Mathematically,         Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

Since, density is proportional to mass. So, more is the mass that is, more is the number of molecules held together by strong forces more will be its density.

Therefore, we can conclude that the statement solids are high in density and incompressible, best describes solids.

In my opinion I would pick D. 

Multiple answers could be chosen, just due to the fact that a solid is nothing more than just an object that cannot change it's physical shape into an object; just as water would. a solid can have a low density; such as paper, plastics, or even just a piece of wood. 

But think of a block of ice. You can break it, and crush it. It cannot be formed into any other shape. If you did break it, it only would make more ice fragments. And it's next phase is a liquid; if it were to be melted.

Why is 6-decene not possible?
faltersainse [42]

Well because the lowest possibility of having a decen is 3-decene so 6-decene is not possible. Hope this helps!! :)

A force of 350 N causes a body to move with an acceleration of 10 m/s2. What's the mass of the body?
Scrat [10]
You have to use the equation F=ma and solve for m to get m=F/a.
m=mass in kg
F=force (in this case 350N)
a=acceleration (in this case 10m/s²)
when you plug everything in you should find that m=35kg

I hope this helps.

Write the chemical equation for fot the reaction between mgcl2 and the soap you preapred
In-s [12.5K]
Soap is the sodium or potassium salt of long chain of fatty acid. Fatty acids when treated with NaOH or KOH forms Soap. This process is called as Saponification. Examples of Soap are as follow,

                                     1.  Sodium Stearate C₁₇H₃₅COONa
                                   
                                     2.  Potassium Oleate C₁₇H₃₃COOK

Reaction of Soap with MgCl₂;

When Soap is treated with MgCl₂ or CaCl₂ it forms insoluble precipitate called S.C.U.M. The reactions with MgCl₂ are as follow,

                2C₁₇H₃₅COONa + MgCl₂  -------->  2C₁₇H₃₅COOMg  + 2 NaCl

                2C₁₇H₃₃COOK   + MgCl₂  -------->  2C₁₇H₃₅COOMg  + 2 KCl

These reaction are often found in hard water. And this reaction decreases the effectiveness of soap.

Calculate the hydrogen-ion concentration [H+] for the aqueous solution in which [OH–] is 1 x 10–11 mol/L. Is this solution acidi
valina [46]
(H+)(OH-) = Kw
kw=  1 x10^-14
OH-=  1   x10 ^-11
(H+)=  KW / OH-

concentration   of H+  = (1x10^-14) /.(1  x 10 ^-11)   =  1  x10  ^-3

Ph=  -log (H+)

PH=-log (  1  x  10  ^-3)  =  3  therefore  the    solution  is  acidic  since  the  PH   less than  7
