The relationship between the amount of space between particles and the state of matter is that if the distance between the particles is very very less or closely packed) then it said to be a solid , If the distance between the particles is very less (more than that of solid) then the matter is a liquid & If the distance between the particles is less (more than that of liquid) then it is said to be gaseous. By this we conclude that when the amount of space between the particles varies then the states of matter (Solid , Liquid , Gas) also differs.

There are two steps in the usual industrial preparation of acrylic acid, the immediate precursor of several useful plastics. In

Answer: The net chemical equation for the production of acrylic acid is given below.

Explanation:

We are given two intermediate equations:

Equation 1: $CaC_2(s)+2H_2O(g)\rightarrow C_2H_2(g)+Ca(OH)_2(s)$

Equation 2: $6C_2H_2(g)+3CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)\rightarrow 5CH_2CHCO_2H(g)$

To get the net chemical equation for the formation of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, carbon dioxide and water, we multiply the first equation by a factor of '6'.

The equation becomes:

Equation 1: $6C_2H_2(g)+6Ca(OH)_2(s)$
