Salt isnt considered a liquid because salt is somewhat solid. A liquid only becomes solid when it is frozen.

Because a liquid has no definite shape but has a definite volume it can take the shape of its container. Salt is considered crystalline solid.


Hope this helps ;-) <span />

The pressure of a sample of argon gas was increased from 3.14 atm to 7.98 at a constant temperature. If the final volume of argo
noname [10]

Answer:

<h2>36.09 L</h2>

Explanation:

The initial volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

where

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume.

Since we're finding the initial volume

V_1 =  \frac{P_2V_2}{P_1}  \\

We have

V_1 =  \frac{7.98 \times 14.2}{3.14} =   \frac{113.316}{3.14}  \\  = 36.0878...

We have the final answer as

<h3>36.09 L</h3>

When you transferred the hot metal from the boiling water and into the calorimeter (coffee cup), if the thermometer touched the
sergey [27]

When you transferred the hot metal from the boiling water and into the calorimeter,  The effect will be

  • Change in temp is positive
  • Temp of metal V, dT=-ve
  • No change occurs in the specific heat of metal

This is further explained below.

<h3>What is the Specific heat of the metal?</h3>

a )Since the metal of the cup is hot and the water inside is cold, the water's temperature will rise as heat is transferred from the metal to the liquid.

Change in temp is positive

b)

Due to (a), heat is lost from the food to the water in the cup, lowering the metal's temperature.

Temp of metal V, dT=-ve

c)

No change occurs in the specific heat of metal because of its constant property.
