pressure has little effect on the solubility of liquids and solids because they are almost incompressible. True or False
slavikrds [6]

Pressure has little effect on the solubility of liquids and solids because they are almost incompressible True.

Liquids and solids show little change in solubility with changes in pressure. As expected, gases increase in solubility with increasing pressure. Henry's Law states that the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of that gas above the surface of the solution.

External pressure has little effect on liquid and solid solubility. In contrast, the solubility of a gas increases as the partial pressure of the gas above the solution increases.

Solubility is a measure of the concentration of dissolved gas particles in a liquid and is a function of gas pressure. Increasing the gas pressure increases the number of collisions and increases the solubility, and decreasing the pressure decreases the solubility.

Find the kinetic energy of a boy of mass 6.5kg running at a velocity of 6.0m/s​
ololo11 [35]

Explanation:

Given,

M=6.5kg,velocity(v)=6m/s

K.E=1/2mv^2

=1/2×6.5×6^2

=1/2×6.5×36

=18×6.5

=117 J

When it comes to physical changes like phase changes, there are two types of heat energy: sensible heat and latent heat. Sensible heat is the heat absorbed/released when you heat the substance but it doesn't change phase. An example would be heating lukewarm water. The substance is liquid all throughout. Latent heat, on the other hand, is the heat absorbed/released when there is a phase change. An example would be boiling water, because it changes liquid to vapor. 

Hence, for freezing liquid, you use the latent heat, specifically the heat of fusion. The answer should be

2.5 g * (1 mol/18.02 g) * 6.03 kJ/mol = 0.84 kJ/mol

The answer is not in the choices. You only use Hvap if you boil water.
