Gases take the shape of their container. When you have a large container, the spaces between molecules (particles) can be further apart than if they were close together. In small containers, the particles are forced to be closer together, or compressed.
Think of it like a pep rally in a gym v.s. a classroom. In the gym, everyone has a bit of wiggle room. With the same number of people in a classroom, everyone would need to be packed in there. This can also explain why a smaller pot over boils from steam before a larger one does, even if the amount of water is the same.
Answer:
Ordinary table salt is called sodium chloride. It is considered a substance because it has a uniform and definite composition. All samples of sodium chloride are chemically identical. Water is also a pure substance. Salt easily dissolves in water, but salt water cannot be classified as a substance because its composition can vary. You may dissolve a small amount of salt or a large amount into a given amount of water. A mixture is a physical blend of two or more components, each of which retains its own identity and properties in the mixture . Only the form of the salt is changed when it is dissolved into water. It retains its composition and properties.
Homogeneous Mixtures
A homogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the composition is uniform throughout the mixture. The salt water described above is homogeneous because the dissolved salt is evenly distributed throughout the entire salt water sample. Often it is easy to confuse a homogeneous mixture with a pure substance because they are both uniform. The difference is that the composition of the substance is always the same. The amount of salt in the salt water can vary from one sample to another. All solutions would be considered homogeneous because the dissolved material is present in the same amount throughout the solution.
One characteristic of mixtures is that they can be separated into their components. Since each part of the mixture has not reacted with another part of the mixture, the identities of the different materials is unchanged.
Answer:
1.0555 * 10^24 molecules
Explanation:
Number of molecules = ?
Mass = 3.79 Kg = 3790 g
Molar mass of Cs7(Cr5O3)4 = 2162.25 g/mol
Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass
Number of moles = 3790 g / 2162.25 g/mol
Number of moles = 1.7528 mol
1 mol = 6.022 * 10^23 molecules
1.7528 mol = x
solving for x;
x = 6.022 * 10^23 * 1.7528
x = 1.0555 * 10^24 molecules
Answer:
0.64 L
Explanation:
Recall that
n= CV where n=m/M
Hence:
m/M= CV
m= given mass of solute =152g
M= molar mass of solute
C= concentration of solute in molL-1 = 1.5M
V= volume of solute =????
Molar mass of potassium permanganate= 158.034 g/mol
Thus;
152 g/158.034 gmol-1= 1.5M × V
V= 0.96/1.5
V= 0.64 L
The answer is A. The vibration caused by the waves through the air eventually weaken, which is why sound diminishes easily over distance.
