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)

onsider the reaction, NO2(g) + CO(g) → NO(g) + CO2(g), for which the rate law has been determined to be: Rate = k[NO2]2[CO]. Whi
nlexa [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Rate of the reaction is a change in the concentration of any one of the reactant or product per unit time.

NO_2(g) + CO(g)\rightarrow NO(g) + CO_2(g)

Rate of the reaction:

R=-\frac{1}{1}\times \frac{d[NO_2]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{1}\times \frac{d[CO]}{dt}

Rate of decrease in nitrogen dioxide concentration is equal to the rate of decrease in carbon monoxide.

Given rate expression of the reaction:

R = k[NO2]^2[CO]

Rate of the reaction on doubling concentration of nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide : R'

R'=k(2\times [NO_2])^2(2\times [CO])=8\times k[NO2]^2[CO]=8R

Doubling the concentrations of nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide simultaneously will increase the rate of the reaction by a factor of eight.

Hence, none of the given statements are true.

Intermolecular forces allow which of the following substances to be the least fluid?
slava [35]
Out of the options, glass is the least fluid. The proof of this also lies in the fact that glass is the most difficult to melt out of all of the mentioned substances, and melting point gives us a rough estimate of the strength of intermolecular forces.

Whats a chemical change
