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)

Use Gay-Lussac Law to solve. When the pressure of a balloon starts at 7.5 atm and the temperature surrounding the balloon goes f
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 6.77 atm

Explanation:

Data

Pressure 1 = P1 = 7.5 atm

Temperature 1 = T1 = 65°C

Pressure 2 = P2 = ?

Temperature 2 = T2 = 32°C

Process

-Use Gay-Lussac law to solve this problem

               P1/T1 = P2/T2

-Solve for P2

               P2 = P1T2 / T1

-Convert temperature to °K

T1 = 65 + 273 = 338°K

T2 = 32 + 273 = 305°K

-Substitution

                P2 = (7.5 x 305) / 338

-Simplification

                P2 = 2287.5 / 338

-Result

                P2 = 6.77 atm

A hamburger containing 335.4 kcal of energy was combusted in a bomb calorimeter with an unknown heat capacity. The temperature o
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Cv_{calorimeter}=18.4kcal/K

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the combustion of the hamburger released 335.4 kcal of energy and that energy is received by the calorimeter, we can write:

Q_{hamburguer}=-Q_{calorimeter}

And the heat of the calorimeter is written in terms of the temperature change and the calorimeter constant:

Q_{hamburguer}=-Cv_{calorimeter}\Delta T

Thus, given the released heat by the hamburger due to its combustion and the temperature change, Cv for the calorimeter turns out:

Cv_{calorimeter}=\frac{-Q_{hamburguer}}{\Delta T} =\frac{-(-335.4kcal)}{18.2K}\\\\Cv_{calorimeter}=18.4kcal/K

Best regards!

Which statement best explains why the elements in Group 18 do not have electronegativity values?
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

1) The elements have filled valence levels.

Explanation:

Since they have filled valence levels, they're stable and don't need to electrons to fill their valence shells since they're already full.

2) False, They do have electrons

3) False, He does have only one electron shell, but going down the periods, every next element have one more electron shell than a preceding one has.

4)False, they're actually the smallest atoms of their respective period
