Liquids have free and fast moving particles. Liquids do not take a specific shape unless they are enclosed such as in a bottle. Anyway, since they are free flowing when they freeze, their movement becomes very slow. Eventually the particles will not have room to move as they used to and will be held in one place. The particles are still moving but they are only shaking or vibrating in the same place. You can't even tell this movement is happening, and that is what happens when liquid freezes.
The ML of 0.85 m NaOH required to titrate 25 ml of 0.72m hbr to the equivalence point is calculated as follows
calculate the moles of HBr used
moles = molarity x volume
25 x0.072/1000= 0.0018 moles
write the equation for reaction
NaOH + HBr = NaBr + H2O
from reacting equation the mole ratio between NaOH to HBr is 1:1 therefore the moles of NaOH = 0.0018 moles
volume = moles/molarity
0.0018/0.085 = 0.021 L in Ml = 0.021 x1000=21.18 Ml ofNaOH
he is a good scientist because he postulated that chemical reactions resulted in the rearrangement of the reacting atoms
