Answer:

Liquid and gas

Explanation:

Liquid and gas are the phases of matter that take the shape of container.

This is very simple to imagine, if we have a piece of rock and we put it in a container, it will not take the shape of container as it already has a definite shape and volume. Liquid when put in a container takes the shape of container but varies in volume as per the container.

However, the gas phases is the phase of matter that perfectly takes the shape of container and occupies all the volume of container as well.

If we recall Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures we can see that the pressure exerted by the gas components in a container is same like the pressure exerted by the gas alone. These partial pressures of the component of gas combine in such a way that they exert total pressure equal to the constituents' pressure on the container. This way gases occupy all the volume of a container and take the shape of a container they're placed in.

Hope it help!

What we call "tin cans" are really iron cans coated with a thin layer of tin. The anode is a bar of tin and the cathode is the i

UNO [17]

Answer:

$Fe (s) + Sn^{2+} (aq)\rightarrow Fe^{2+} (aq) + Sn (s)$

Explanation:

Although the context is not clear, let's look at the oxidation and reduction processes that will take place in a Fe/Sn system.

The problem states that anode is a bar of thin. Anode is where the process of oxidation takes place. According to the abbreviation 'OILRIG', oxidation is loss, reduction is gain. Since oxidation occurs at anode, this is where loss of electrons takes place. That said, tin loses electrons to become tin cation:

$Sn (s)\rightarrow Sn^{2+} (aq) + 2e^-$

Similarly, iron is cathode. Cathode is where reduction takes place. Reduction is gain of electrons, this means iron cations gain electrons and produce iron metal:

$Fe^{2+} (aq) + 2e^-\rightarrow Fe (s)$

The net equation is then:

$Sn (s) + Fe^{2+} (aq)\rightarrow Fe (s) + Sn^{2+} (aq)$

However, this is not the case, as this is not a spontaneous reaction, as iron metal is more reactive than tin metal, and this is how the coating takes place. This implies that actually anode is iron and cathode is tin:

Actual anode half-equation:

$Fe (s)\rightarrow Fe^{2+} (aq) + 2e^-$

Actual cathode half-equation:

$Sn^{2+} (aq) + 2e^-\rightarrow Sn (s)$

Actual net reaction:

$Fe (s) + Sn^{2+} (aq)\rightarrow Fe^{2+} (aq) + Sn (s)$

Which is not an issue with waste from nuclear energy?

Mkey [24]

Answer:

correct option is A) atmospheric pollutants

Explanation:

Nuclear power plant do not produce air pollution in the form of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide.
Nuclear as radioactive waste is hazardous to all kind of life and the environment.
Long-term storage of radioactive waste is required. It is important that waste stabilization is a form that does not react or deteriorate for years.
If nuclear waste is wasted in the atmosphere or in the oceans and lagre lakes, it eventually comes into contact with organisms.
