Which statement correctly compares ice and liquid water?

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

B. Particles of liquid water have more energy than particles of ice.

Explanation:

We can work this out through eliminating the wrong statements.

A. Both liquid water and ice have definite shapes.

This is wrong because, as stated in the question, water is a liquid, and one of the properties of liquids is that they change shape to fit the shape of their container. If it changes shape, it does not have a "definite" shape.

B. Particles of liquid water have more energy than particles of ice.

This is correct, and here is why. There are 3 states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. As you apply heat energy to an object at each state, the particles receive more energy and can move around more (this is kinetic energy). In the case of liquid (water) and solid (ice), particles in solids do not have much energy and stay in rigid formations. They do vibrate slightly, but only on the spot (this is what gives solids "definite" shapes). On the other hand, particles in liquids have more energy than particles in solids, which means that they can move more (more kinetic ENERGY) and do not stay in formations (this is why they do not have "definite" shapes). Therefore, particles in liquids (water) have more energy than particles in solids (ice), and this statement is correct.

C. Liquid water has a lower temperature than ice.

This is wrong because liquids have more energy than solids. As explained earlier, the reason why particles in liquids have more energy is because more HEAT energy has been applied to them. In the same way, solids have less energy because less HEAT energy has been applied to them. Less heat means a lower temperature. (Also you can use common sense for this one, ice feels colder than liquid water, right?)

D. Ice has a definite volume, but liquid water does not.

This is wrong because of the law of conservation of mass. This law states that particles (or matter or volume) cannot be created or destroyed. When ice melts and becomes liquid water, it has not lost volume: the particles have just gained more energy. This question is most likely there to confuse you, because all substances have definite volumes.

I hope this helps!

What is the correct formula for the compound formed between sodium and iodine based on their positions in the periodic table?

Naddika [18.5K]

Sodium (Na) has a +1 charge and Iodine ( I ) has a -1 charge. To create a molecule of sodium iodide the charges will need to balance.

Because the charges on anion and cation are the same; the molecular formula will be NaI

"You have a solution of glucose in water that has a concentration of 2.50 M and a volume of 0.442 liters. You dilute this soluti

taurus [48]

Answer:

0.737M

Explanation:

C1V1=C2V2

2.50 x 0.442 = C x 1.5

1.105 = C x 1.5

C = 1.105/1.5

C = 0.737M

Calcium oxide reacts with water in a combination reaction to produce calcium hydroxide. Ca) + H2O --> Ca(OH)2 In a particular

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Percent yield = 92.5%

Explanation:

The question asks for the percent yield which can be defined as:

$\frac{actual yield}{theoretical yield} .100$

Where the actual yield is <em>how much product was obtained</em>, in this case 6.11 g of Ca(OH)₂, and the theoretical yield is <em>how much product could be obtained with the given reactants theoretically</em>, that is if the reaction would work perfectly. So we need to calculate first the theoretical yield.

1. First lets write the chemical equation reaction correctly and check that it is balanced:

CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂

2. Calculate the amount of product Ca(OH)₂ that can be obtained with the given reactants (theoretical yield), which are 5.00g of CaO and excess of water. So the amount of CaO will determined how much Ca(OH)₂ we can obtained.

For this we'll use the molar ratio between CaO and Ca(OH)₂ which we see it is 1:1. For every mol of CaO we'll obtain a mol of Ca(OH)₂. So lets convert the 5.00 g of CaO to moles:

Molar Mass of CaO: 40.078 + 15.999 = 56.077 g/mol

moles of CaO = 5.00 g / 56.077 g/mol = 0.08916 moles

As we said before from the molar ratio moles of Ca(OH)₂ = moles of CaO

So the moles of Ca(OH)₂ that can be obtained are 56.077 g/mol

We need to convert this value to grams:

Molar Mass of Ca(OH)₂ = 40.078 + (15.999 + 1.008)*2 = 74.092 g/mol

Theoretical yield of Ca(OH)₂ = 0.08916 moles x 74.092 g/mol = 6.606 g

3. Calculate the percent yield:

$\frac{actual yield}{theoretical yield} .100$

Percent yield = (6.11 g / 6.606g) x 100 = 92.5 %
