Why do solids maintain a specific shape and volume?

Chemistry
1 answer:
s344n2d4d5 [400]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Solids can hold their shape because their molecules are tightly packed together. ... Atoms and molecules in liquids and gases are bouncing and floating around, free to move where they want. The molecules in a solid are stuck in a specific structure or arrangement of atoms.

Dahasolnce [82]
KI-starch paper allows the detection of strong oxidizers such as nitrite. It is used here to control diazotization of 4-nitroaniline. Nitrite oxidizes potassium iodide in order to form elemental iodine which reacts with starch to a blue-violet complex. With KI-starch paper, enough sodium nitrite is added to produce nitrous acid, which <span>then will react with 4-nitroaniline to form a diazonium salt.</span>

Assuming that sea water is a 3.5 wt % solution of NaCl in water, calculate its osmotic pressure at 20°C. The density of a 3.5% N
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

π = 14.824 atm

Explanation:

wt % = ( w NaCL / w sea water ) * 100 = 3.5 %

assuming w sea water = 100 g = 0.1 Kg

⇒ w NaCl = 3.5 g

osmotic pressure ( π ):

  • π = C NaCl * R * T

∴ T = 20 °C  + 273 = 293 K

∴ C ≡ mol/L

∴ density sea water = 1.03 Kg/L....from literature

⇒ volume sea water = 0.1 Kg * ( L / 1.03 Kg ) = 0.097 L sln

⇒ mol NaCl = 3.5 g NaCL * ( mol NaCL / 58.44 g ) = 0.06 mol

⇒ C NaCl = 0.06 mol / 0.097 L = 0.617 M

⇒ π = 0.617 mol/L * 0.082 atm L / K mol * 293 K

⇒ π = 14.824 atm

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

b. colloid

Explanation:

Colloids are solutions that are going to have a solute and a solvent, but the size of the particles are bigger than in a solution that is clear. that is the reason that it looks blurred because the particles are bigger.

In the other hand, these particles of the solute are big, but not so big and heavy as in a suspension, so they are not going to precipitate in the bottom.

The movement of the particles are called Brownian movement, and they are the responsible to avoid to settle down at the bottom of the recipient.

Critical Thinking Challenge: A student has a part time
mina [271]

Answer:

6⅔ shifts

Explanation:

From the question given:

A shift = 4 hours

Pay = $8.25 per hour

Next, we shall determine the number of hours that will result in a pay of $220. This can be obtained as follow:

$8.25 = 1 hour

Therefore,

$220 = $220 × 1 hour / $8.25

$220 = 220/8.25 hours.

$220 = 80/3 hours

$220 = 26⅔ hours

Therefore, it will take 26⅔ hours to receive a pay of $220.

Finally, we shall determine the number of shifts in 26⅔ hours. This can be obtained as follow:

4 hours = 1 shift

Therefore,

26⅔ hours = 26⅔ ÷ 4

26⅔ hours = 80/3 × 1/4

26⅔ hours = 80/12

26⅔ hours = 20/3

26⅔ hours = 6⅔ shifts

Therefore, she will work 6⅔ shifts in order to receive a pay of $220
