A fixed shape.  gasses do not have a definite volume (which stems from lack of definite shape) which is why their volume is the same as the container they are being held in.

6 0

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide whereas carbon dioxide gas present in the atmosphere is present in gaseous phase.

Also it is known that in solids,  particles are held together tightly due to strong intermolecular forces of attraction. As a result, solid substances have fixed shape and volume.

On the other hand, in gases particles are held by weak intermolecular forces due to which they are far apart from each other. As a result, they do not hace any fixed shape.

Hence, we can conclude that frozen CO_2 or dry ice is different from CO_2 gas in the atmosphere because it has a fixed shape.

What contribution did these scientists make to atomic models of the atom?
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Explanation:

Dalton's atomic theory proposed that all matter was composed of atoms, indivisible and indestructible building blocks. While all atoms of an element were identical, different elements had atoms of differing size and mass.

In 1897, J.J. Thomson discovered the electron by experimenting with a Crookes, or cathode ray, tube. He demonstrated that cathode rays were negatively charged. In addition, he also studied positively charged particles in neon gas.

Rutherford overturned Thomson's model in 1911 with his well-known gold foil experiment in which he demonstrated that the atom has a tiny and heavy nucleus. Rutherford designed an experiment to use the alpha particles emitted by a radioactive element as probes to the unseen world of atomic structure.

The Bohr model shows the atom as a small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons. Bohr was the first to discover that electrons travel in separate orbits around the nucleus and that the number of electrons in the outer orbit determines the properties of an element.

What is the H+ concentration when pH is 2, 6, 7, 8, and 12?
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

pH = - log (H+)

So the pH of 1 x 10^-7 M solution is 7.

I'm sorry but I'm not sure about what the other units mean, so Im not sure of the answer to those.

If you convert the other units to the form  1 x 10^-n  then the pH will be n.

The specific heat of zinc is 0.39 J/g*°C. How much energy needed to change the temperature of 34g of zinc from 22°C to 57°C. Is
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

464.1 J absorbed.

Explanation:

Given data:

Specific heat of zinc =  0.39 J/g°C

Mass of zinc = 34 g

Temperature changes = 22°C to 57°C

Energy absorbed or released = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 57°C -  22°C

ΔT = 35°C

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = 34 g. 0.39 J/g°C. 35°C

Q = 464.1 J

What type of decay characterizes the change of radioactive nuclides to their respective daughter products?
tigry1 [53]
I believe the correct answer is the second option. The type of decay that characterizes the change of nuclides to their respective daughter products would be exponential decay. This type of decay is characterized by the decrease of quantity of a material according to the equation y=ab^x.
