So, we have:
- molecular weight
- shape
- temperature
- kinetic energy
- mass
- density

Let's rule out the different options.
- molecular weight: Say you have a molecule of H2O. H2O can be a solid, liquid, or gas, but its molecular weight never changes throughout (It's still the same molecule, no matter what phase it is in). We can rule this out.

- shape: Let's pretend we have three identical closed containers, and we fill each one halfway with water, blocks of ice cubes, and water vapor. In the container with water, you will see that the water takes the shape of the container, but doesn't fill the entire container up. The ice cubes will stay ice cubes, assuming they don't melt, so they don't take the shape of the container. The vapor will fill up the entire container. Since all three are different, I would say yes, this could be a distinguishable feature.

- temperature: In general, I would say no, because every element/molecule has different boiling points and different vaporization points. So if you have a liquid at 5°C, you could also have a different element in solid form at 5°C. But if you're comparing a single type of molecule, it would have a boiling point and a vaporization point, so you <em>would</em> be able to tell between them.

- kinetic energy: Kinetic energy refers to how much movement there is in respect to each molecule. In solids, the molecules are packed tightly together and can't move very much, so they have lower kinetic energy. In liquids, they are less packed, but still restricted. And in gases, they can fly freely, so they will have much more kinetic energy than liquids or solids. This one's a yes.

- mass: No matter what form, there are still the same amount of molecules, and each molecule has the same mass as before. It won't change.

- density: Since the molecules are more spread out in gases, it will be less dense. Liquids will be more dense, and solids will have the greatest density. So, yes.

Conclusion: shape, kinetic energy, density, (and temperature if it's talking about a single type of molecule)

What is the number of copper atom in one naira coin which weight is 7.3g a sum of the material is 86%
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

5.9x10²² atoms of Cu are in one naira coin

Explanation:

To solve this question we need to find the mass of Copper. Then, using its molar mass (Cu = 63.546g/mol) we must find the moles of Cu and its atoms using Avogadro's number:

<em>Mass Cu:</em>

7.3g * 86% = 6.278g is the mass of Cu.

<em>Moles Cu:</em>

6.278g * (1mol / 63.546g) = 0.099moles Cu

<em>Atoms Cu:</em>

0.099moles Cu * (6.022x10²³atoms / 1mol) =

When a 2.5 mol of sugar (C12H22O11) are added to a certain amount of water the boiling point is raised by 1 Celsius degree. If 2
Mademuasel [1]

Answer is: boiling point will be changed by 4°C.

Chemical dissociation of aluminium nitrate in water: Al(NO₃)₃ → Al³⁺(aq) + 3NO⁻(aq).

Change in boiling point: ΔT =i · Kb · b.

Kb - molal boiling point elevation constant of water is 0.512°C/m, this the same for both solution.

b -  molality, moles of solute per kilogram of solvent., this is also same for both solution, because ther is same amount of substance.

i - Van't Hoff factor.

Van't Hoff factor for sugar solution is 1, because sugar do not dissociate on ions.

Van't Hoff factor for aluminium nitrate solution is approximately 4, because it dissociates on four ions (one aluminium cation and three nitrate anions). So ΔT is four times bigger.
