Why can't liquids change volume but gasses can?

2 answers:

5 0

Gases don't have a definite shape or volume and fill any container. and since the particles are far apart from each other their attraction is weak. since there is a lots of free space between particles, gases can easily be compressed. water particles are held very close together by strong forces of attraction."Because the particles are close together, liquids can't easily be compressed and keep the same volume."

hope this helped

Because liquids cant be condensed the way that gasses can for example in a tank of argon you can put 20 cubic feet because it can be be condensed but you could not fit 20 cubic feet of water because it can not be packed together .

if you take a dried out white rose and place the stem in food coloring, will the rose turn the color you put the stem in

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Yes, this is true. The reason is that the flower transpires and sucks the water in and distributes it as much as it can. You can also flip it upside down and hang it with petals down , allowing the liquid to enter the flower and then retaining color for longer periods of time and having more color.

Chemistry an atom of strontium has at least four different isotopes. what is different between an isotope of 86sr and an isotope

lions [1.4K]

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons.

Remember that all the atoms of an element have the same number of protons. So the only difference between isotopes of an element is the number of neutrons.

86 Sr means that the mass number of this isotope is 86. Also, remember that the mass number is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons.

87 Sr means that the mass number of this isotope is 87.

So, 86 Sr and 87 Sr differ 1 neutron.

Answer: 1 neutron

Gaseous ethane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 2.7 g of ethane is m

Bond [772]

Answer:

$m_{H_2O}=4.86gH_2O$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the described chemical reaction is:

$C_2H_6+\frac{7}{2} O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O$

Thus, for the given reacting masses, we must identify the limiting reactant for us to determine the maximum mass of water that could be produced, therefore, we proceed to compute the available moles of ethane:

$n_{C_2H_6}=2.7gC_2H_6*\frac{1molC_2H_6}{30gC_2H_6} =0.09molC_2H_6$

Next, we compute the moles of ethane consumed by 13.0 grams of oxygen by using the 1:7/2 molar ratio between them:

$n_{C_2H_6}^{consumed\ by \ O_2}=13.0gO_2*\frac{1molO_2}{32gO_2}*\frac{1molC_2H_6}{\frac{7}{2} molO_2}=0.116molC_2H_6$

Thus, we notice there are less available moles of ethane, for that reason, it is the limiting reactant, thereby, the maximum amount of water is computed by considering the 1:3 molar ratio between ethane and water:

$m_{H_2O}=0.09molC_2H_6*\frac{3molH_2O}{1molC_2H_6} *\frac{18gH_2O}{1molH_2O} \\\\m_{H_2O}=4.86gH_2O$

Best regards.

Calculate the heat absorbed by the water in a calorimeter when 175 grams of lead cools from 125.0°C to 22.0°C. The specific heat

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Q = 233.42 J

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of lead = 175 g

Initial temperature = 125.0°C

Final temperature = 22.0°C

Specific heat capacity of lead = 0.01295 J/g.°C

Heat absorbed by water = ?

Solution:

Heat absorbed by water is actually the heat lost by the metal.

Thus, we will calculate the heat lost by metal.

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 = T2 - T1

ΔT = 22.0°C - 125.0°C

ΔT = -103°C

Q = 175 g × 0.01295 J/g.°C×-103°C

Q = -233.42 J

Heat absorbed by the water is 233.42 J.
