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)

The term “ average atomic mass “ is a ______average so is calculator different Lee from a normal average
hoa [83]

Average atomic mass of an element is a sum of the product of the isotope mass and its relative abundance.

For example: Chlorine has 2 isotopes with the following abundances

Cl(35): Atomic mass = 34.9688 amu; Abundance = 75.78%

Cl(37): Atomic mass = 36.9659 amu; Abundance = 24.22 %

Average atomic mass of Cl = 34.9688(0.7578) + 36.9659(0.2422) =

                                             = 26.4993 + 8.9531 = 35.4524 amu

Thus, the term “ average atomic mass “ is a <u>weighted</u> average so it is calculated differently from a normal average

When titrating a strong monoprotic acid and koh at 25°c, the ph will be less than 7 at the equivalence point. ph will be greater
iVinArrow [24]
By definition titraion of a monoprotic acid with means that the equivalence point implies netrality of the solution, which is pH = 7.

So, the answer is that pH will be equal to 7 at the equivalence.

Given that the acid is monoprotic and KOH has one OH- radical per molecule of KOH, the titration will require the same number of moles of acid than base to reach the equivalence point, as you can see in this equation, representing the monoprotic acid as HA:

 HA + KOH = K(+) + A(-) + H2O => 1 mol HA per 1 mol KOH.
