Question

Matilda works in a laboratory and is studying the properties of a liquid when it is exposed to heat. The volume of the liquid after
thours is represented by the expression below.
165(0.97)
Determine the hourly rate of decrease in the volume of the liquid.
The volume of the liquid is decreasing at a ray of 0.3% per hour.
The volume of the liquid is decreasing at a rate of 3% per hour.
The volume of the liquid is decreasing at a rate of 0.97% per hour.
The volume of the liquid is decreasing at a rate of 9.7% per hour.

Answer 1

Answer:

A state of matter is one of the distinct forms that different phases of matter take on. Four states of matter are observable in everyday life: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Many other states are known such as Bose–Einstein condensates and neutron-degenerate matter but these only occur in extreme situations such as ultra cold or ultra dense matter. Other states, such as quark–gluon plasmas, are believed to be possible but remain theoretical for now.

Historically, the distinction is made based on qualitative differences in properties. Matter in the solid state maintains a fixed volume and shape, with component particles (atoms, molecules or ions) close together and fixed into place. Matter in the liquid state maintains a fixed volume, but has a variable shape that adapts to fit its container. Its particles are still close together but move freely. Matter in the gaseous state has both variable volume and shape, adapting both to fit its container. Its particles are neither close together nor fixed in place. Matter in the plasma state has variable volume and shape, but as well as neutral atoms, it contains a significant number of ions and electrons, both of which can move around freely. Plasma is the most common form of visible matter in the universe.[1]Step-by-step explanation:
