Answer:

All liquids are fluids but not all fluids are liquids. Fluids basically describe anything that can flow as a result of a difference in pressure between two points. Liquids on the other hand are a subset of fluids. Liquids are the incompressible fluids. These are the fluids who's density does not change sharply with pressure.

Gases are also fluids, they form the compressible fluids. They do flow as a result of difference in pressure between two points but at the same time they can be compressed or expanded. Their density fluctuates with pressure.

Hence fluids consist of 2 mutually exclusive groups of compressible and incompressible fluids. Liquids are the incompressible fluids and hence form a subset of the more general term fluid.

Answer:

C. Its oxidation number increases.

Explanation:

Oxidation is defined as the loss of electrons by an atom while reduction is the gain of electrons by an atom.
Atoms of elements have an oxidation number of Zero in their elemental state.
When an atom looses electrons it undergoes oxidation and its oxidation number increases.
For example, an atom of sodium (Na) at its elemental state has an oxidation number of 0. When the sodium atom looses an electrons it becomes a cation, Na+, with an oxidation number of +1 , the loss of electron shows an increase in oxidation number from 0 to +1.

Answer:

a) ∆T=T1-T2

b) At the particle level the temperature changes are the result of the added energy causing the particles of water to move more vigorously. Either the particles of solid vibrate more vigorously about their fixed positions or the particles of liquid and gas move about their container more rapidly.

c) The state in which two substances in physical contact do not share any heat energy. The temperature of two substances in thermal equilibrium is said to be the same. Also see thermodynamics.
