Answer:

B. Particles of liquid water have more energy than particles of ice.

Explanation:

We can work this out through eliminating the wrong statements.

A. Both liquid water and ice have definite shapes.

This is wrong because, as stated in the question, water is a liquid, and one of the properties of liquids is that they change shape to fit the shape of their container. If it changes shape, it does not have a "definite" shape.

B. Particles of liquid water have more energy than particles of ice.

This is correct, and here is why. There are 3 states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. As you apply heat energy to an object at each state, the particles receive more energy and can move around more (this is kinetic energy). In the case of liquid (water) and solid (ice), particles in solids do not have much energy and stay in rigid formations. They do vibrate slightly, but only on the spot (this is what gives solids "definite" shapes). On the other hand, particles in liquids have more energy than particles in solids, which means that they can move more (more kinetic ENERGY) and do not stay in formations (this is why they do not have "definite" shapes). Therefore, particles in liquids (water) have more energy than particles in solids (ice), and this statement is correct.

C. Liquid water has a lower temperature than ice.

This is wrong because liquids have more energy than solids. As explained earlier, the reason why particles in liquids have more energy is because more HEAT energy has been applied to them. In the same way, solids have less energy because less HEAT energy has been applied to them. Less heat means a lower temperature. (Also you can use common sense for this one, ice feels colder than liquid water, right?)

D. Ice has a definite volume, but liquid water does not.

This is wrong because of the law of conservation of mass. This law states that particles (or matter or volume) cannot be created or destroyed. When ice melts and becomes liquid water, it has not lost volume: the particles have just gained more energy. This question is most likely there to confuse you, because all substances have definite volumes.

I hope this helps!

A meteorologist filled a weather balloon with 3.00L of the inert noble gas helium. The balloon's pressure was 765 torr. The ball

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

4.33 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Initial volume of the balloon (V₁): 3.00 L

Initial pressure of the balloon (P₁): 765 torr

Final volume of the balloon (V₂): ?

Final pressure of the balloon (P₂): 530 torr

Step 2: Calculate the final volume of the balloon

If we consider Helium to behave as an ideal gas, we can calculate the final volume of the balloon using Boyle's law.

$P_1 \times V_1 = P_2 \times V_2\\V_2 = \frac{P_1 \times V_1}{P_2} = \frac{765torr \times 3.00L}{530torr} = 4.33 L$

The concentration of an HCl acid solution is initially 6mol/L. What would the concentration of a new solution be if 200 mL of th

pochemuha

Taking into account the definition of dilution, the concentration of the new solution is 1 mol/L.

<h3>Dilution</h3>

When it is desired to prepare a less concentrated solution from a more concentrated one, it is called dilution.

Dilution is the process of reducing the concentration of solute in solution, which is accomplished by simply adding more solvent to the solution at the same amount of solute.

In a dilution the amount of solute does not change, but as more solvent is added, the concentration of the solute decreases, as the volume (and weight) of the solution increases.

A dilution is mathematically expressed as:

Ci×Vi = Cf×Vf

where

Ci: initial concentration
Vi: initial volume
Cf: final concentration
Vf: final volume

<h3>Final volume</h3>

In this case, you know:

Ci= 6 mol/L
Vi= 200 mL
Cf= ?
Vf= 1 L (1000 mL) water + 200 mL of HCL= 1200 mL

Replacing in the definition of dilution:

6 mol/L× 200 mL= Cf× 1200 mL

Solving:

(6 mol/L× 200 mL)÷ 1200 mL= Cf

In summary, the concentration of the new solution is 1 mol/L.

nasty-shy [4]

The <u>Empirical formula</u> gives the smallest whole number ratio of moles of each element in a compound. therefore, multiple compounds may have it in common.

<h3>What is Empirical formula?</h3>

The most straightforward whole number ratio of atoms in a compound is its empirical formula. The empirical formula for sulfur monoxide, or SO, and disulfur dioxide, or S2O2, are both straightforward illustrations of this idea.

<h3>What is multiple compounds?</h3>

According to the law of multiple proportions, if two elements combine to form more than one compound, the ratio of the second element's mass to the fixed mass of the first element will always be a ratio of tiny whole numbers.

<h3>What is empirical formula used for?</h3>

Typically, the empirical formula is used to simply display the components of a molecule. When one needs to quickly identify the elements they are working with, this is helpful. When you want to know how many atoms of each element are present in the molecule, the molecular formula is most helpful.
