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.

Calculate the decrease in temperarure when 2.00 L at 20.0 degrees celsius is compressed to 1.00 L.

Serga [27]

I suspect that the pressure of this change is constant therefore

The equation is used from the combined gas law. (When pressure is constant both P's will cancel out P/P = 1)
V/T = V/T
Initial Change

Initially we have 2L at 20 degress what temperature will be at 1L.

2/20 = 1/T
0.1 = 1/T
0.1T = 1
T = 1/0.1
T = 10 degress celsius.

Hope this helps if you won't be able to understand what is the combined gas law just tell me :).

What happens to the density of a substance when it is heated? Explain your answer.

hoa [83]

Heating a substance causes molecules to speed up and spread slightly further apart, occupying a larger volume that results in a decrease in density. Cooling a substance causes molecules to slow down and get slightly closer together, occupying a smaller volume that results in an increase in density.

Will a precipitate of magnesium fluoride form when 300. mL of 1.1 × 10 –3 M MgCl 2 are added to 500. mL of 1.2 × 10 –3 M NaF? [K

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

No precipitate is formed.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the dissociation reaction of magnesium fluoride:

$MgF_2(s)\rightleftharpoons Mg^{2+}+2F^-$

And the undergoing chemical reaction:

$MgCl_2+2NaF\rightarrow MgF_2+2NaCl$

We need to compute the yielded moles of magnesium fluoride, but first we need to identify the limiting reactant for which we compute the available moles of magnesium chloride:

$n_{MgCl_2}=0.3L*1.1x10^{-3}mol/L=3.3x10^{-4}molMgCl_2$
