Answer:

Liquid cannot expand because it can only take up space based on the quantity of the liquid. For example, half a glass of water cannot expand to completely fill the glass because there's only half a glass of water.

I hope this helps! :)

What phenomenon in nature do scientists use to define the length of a meter? Why is this a better definition than “the length of
sergey [27]

Answer:

The natural phenomenon used to describe the length of a meter is the speed of light. The length of a meter is the length a light path travels in 1/(299792458) seconds through a vacuum.

The definition is better due to the uncertainty involved in the use of the length of a standard meter stick because the length of the meter stick could change due to atmospheric conditions from place to place

Use the standard reaction enthalpies given below to determine ΔH°rxn for the following reactionP4(g) + 10 Cl2(g) → 4PCl5(s) ΔH°r
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Therefore  \bigtriangledown H^\circ_{rxn}= -1835 KJ

Explanation:

Enthalpy is denoted by H.

Enthalpy: Total heat change in a chemical reaction is called enthalpy.

The change of entalpy of a reaction is denoted by \bigtriangledown H^\circ_{rxn}

Hass's Law:The change in enthalpy of any process can be determined by calculating the sum of change in enthalpy of each of the steps involved in the process.

g= gas

S= solid

P₄(g)+10Cl₂(g)→ 4Cl₅(s)       \bigtriangledown H^\circ_{rxn}=?

PCl₅(s)→ PCl₃(g)+Cl₂(g) .......(1)       \bigtriangledown H^\circ_{rxn}= +157KJ

P₄(g)+6Cl₂(g)→  4PCl₃(g).............(2)     \bigtriangledown H^\circ_{rxn}= -1207 KJ

If we flip a reaction the value of enthalpy will be change positive to negative or nagative to positive but the numerical value will be remain same.

We need rearrange the equation (1) because in the required equation Cl₂ is on the left side. So we flip the first equation.

PCl₃(g)+Cl₂(g)→PCl₅(s)......(3)          \bigtriangledown H^\circ_{rxn}= -157KJ

Multiplying 4 with equation (3)

4 PCl₃(g)+4Cl₂(g)→4PCl₅(s)......(4)          \bigtriangledown H^\circ_{rxn}=4×( -157)KJ= -628 KJ

Adding equation (2) and (4) we get

P₄(g)+6Cl₂(g)+4 PCl₃(g)+4Cl₂(g)→4PCl₃(g)+4PCl₅(s)    \bigtriangledown H^\circ_{rxn}=( -1207-628)KJ

⇒P₄(g)+10Cl₂(g)→4PCl₃(g)-4PCl₃(g)+4PCl₅(s)      \bigtriangledown H^\circ_{rxn}= - 1835KJ

⇒P₄(g)+10Cl₂(g)→ 4Cl₅(s)       \bigtriangledown H^\circ_{rxn}= -1835 KJ

Therefore  \bigtriangledown H^\circ_{rxn}= -1835 KJ
