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.

A ground water tank has its height 2m. Calculate the pressure at its bottom when it is completely filled with water.​
Law Incorporation [45]

The pressure at the bottom : 19600 N/m²

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

A ground water tank has its height 2m

Required

The pressure at its bottom

Solution

Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure caused by the weight of a liquid.  

The weight of a liquid is affected by the force of gravity.  

The hydrostatic pressure of a liquid can be formulated:  

\large{\boxed{\bold {P_h ~ = ~ \rho.g.h}}

Ph = hydrostatic pressure (N / m², Pa)  

ρ = density of liquid (kg / m³)  

g = acceleration due to gravity (m / s²)  

h = height / depth of liquid surface (m)  

ρ = density of water (kg / m³) = 1000

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/ sec²

The pressure

\tt P=1000\times 9.8\times 2=19600~N/m^2

dezoksy [38]
Bent, the lone pair on the central atom push away the other atoms and the most stable configuration of the lone pair and two atoms is trogonal planar. But since you cannot see the lone pair, the shape of the three atoms is bent.

How many moles of C2H2 are required to produce 0.60 mol of H2O?
belka [17]

Answer:

0.60 moles

Explanation:

From the reaction:

2C_2H_2 + 5O_2 \to 4CO_2+2H_2O

From above, Only 2 moles of CH2CH2 are required to produce 2 moles of water (H_2O).

As such, 0.6 moles of H2O will require:

x (CH2CH2) × 2 moles of (H_2O)  = 0.6 moles (CH2CH2) × 2 mole of (H_2O)

x mole of  (CH2CH2) = 0.60 moles

∴

0.6 moles of H2O will require 0.60 moles of CH2CH2
