Liquid making it the correct answer

Explanation:

In solids, molecules are held together due to strong intermolecular force of attraction between them. These molecules do not move past each other as they are fixed at their position. As a result, solids have definite shape and volume.

In liquids, molecules are less tightly held as a result the molecules are able to move and hence they slide past each other. Liquids do not have fixed shape and volume.

In gases, molecules are held by weak Vander waal forces. Therefore, they move rapidly from one place to another with more collisions.

Thus, we can conclude that liquid is the phase of matter which consists of particles that are held together but have the ability to flow past each other.

A solution of sodium hydroxide was titrated against a solution of sulfuric acid. How many moles of sodium hydroxide would react

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

2 mole of Sodium hydroxide reacts with 1 mole of Sulfuric acid

Explanation:

Write down the equation in the beginning with reactants and products:

NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + H₂0

Now try to balance it. Try with Na first:

2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + H₂0

Na atoms are balanced. There are 6 Oxygen atoms on the right and 5 on the left. Balance by increasing the H₂O moles:

2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂0

Check if H atoms are also balanced. They are. That means our final reaction is:

2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂0

2 Moles of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of H₂SO₄

Which term refers to a universal fact sometimes based on mathematical equations?

torisob [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is a scientific law.

Explanation:

The laws of science or scientific laws refer to the statements, which predict or illustrate an array of natural processes. It is a statement based on observations or spontaneous experiments, which illustrate some characteristics of the natural world.

The term law exhibits different uses in various circumstances, that is, across all the branches of natural science. The laws are formulated through data and can be further created via mathematics, in all the conditions, they are indirectly or directly based on empirical evidence. The scientific laws recapitulate the outcomes of observations or experiments, generally within some point of application.

A student puts 0.020 mol of methyl methanoate into an empty and rigid 1.0 L vessel at 450 K. The pressure is measured to be 0.74

stellarik [79]

Explanation:

Starting moles of ethanol acid = 0.020 mol

At the equilibrium 50 % of the ethanol acid molecules reacted

∴ Moles of ethanol acid reacted = 0.020 mol * 50 %/100 %

= 0.010 mol

Moles of ethanol acid remain = 0.020 mol + 0.010 mol = 0.010 mol

Moles of the product $(CH3COOH)^{2}$ gas formed are calculated as

0.010 mol CH3COOH * 1 mol $(CH3COOH)^{2}$ / 2 mol CH3COOH

= 0.005 mol $(CH3COOH)^{2}$

Therefore at the equilibrium total moles of gas present in the vessel are 0.010 mol CH3COOH and 0.005 mol $(CH3COOH)^{2}$

That is total gas moles at equilibrium = 0.010 mol + 0.005 mol = 0.015 mol

Now Calculate the pressure :

0.020 mol gas has pressure of 0.74 atm therefore at the same condition what will be the pressure exerted by 0.015 mol gas

P1/n1 = P2/n2

P2 = P1*n2 / n1

= 0.74 atm * 0.015 mol / 0.020 mol

= 0.555 atm
