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.

Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

103.4 g H₂S (Sulfuric Acid)

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number

Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of S - 32.07 g/mol

Molar Mass of H₂S - 2(1.01) + 32.07 = 34.09 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

Set up: $\displaystyle 103.4 \ g \ H_2S(\frac{1 \ mol \ H_2S}{34.09 \ g \ H_2S})(\frac{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ H_2S}{1 \ mol \ H_2S})$
Multiply: $\displaystyle 1.82656 \cdot 10^{24} \ molecules \ H_2S$

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 4 sig figs.</em>

1.82656 × 10²⁴ molecules H₂S ≈ 1.827 × 10²⁴ molecules H₂S

A 19-g piece of metal absorbs 186.75 joules of heat energy, and its temperature changes from 35°C to 175°C. Calculate the specif

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

0.0702J/g°C the specific heat capacity of the metal.

Explanation:m

$Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{2}-T_{1})$

where,

Q = heat absorbed by metal = 186.75 J

$m_1$ = Mass of metal= 19 g

$T_1$ = Initial temperature of metal = $35^oC$

$T_2$ =Final temperature of metal = $175^oC$

$c$ = specific heat of metal= ?

$186.75 J=19 g\times c\times (175^oC-35^oC)$

$c=\frac{186.75 J}{19 g\times (175^oC-35^oC)}$

$c=0.0702J/g^oC$

0.0702J/g°C the specific heat capacity of the metal.

Which statement regarding the Calvin cycle is false?

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

The statement "Six turns of the cycle are required for every glucose molecule later produced in non–Calvin cycle reactions" is incorrect. It really looks not well-worded.

Explanation:

It is incorrect because Six turns of the cycle are required for every glucose molecule produced in Calvin cycle reactions, no in non-Calvin cycle reactions. This process includes the fixation of 6 molecules of carbon dioxide to produce 1 Glucose (seen as the addition of the two Phosphoglyceraldehide molecules (PGAL). Moreover, the other statements in the questions are correct:

ATP is required during carbon fixation.

The most intensive energy phase is reduction and sugar production.

Twelve NADPH are required for every six CO2 fixed.

NADPH is required for reduction and sugar production.
