Answer:
The atoms in a solid tend to attract each other, more than they are attracted by another substance, which I suppose is one definition of a solid. So strictly speaking, atoms from one solid will not get caught up in the atomic bonding structure of another solid just by placing them together.
Answer:
The total pressure is 27.8 atm
Explanation:
From the ideal gas equation,
PV = nRT
P (total pressure) = nRT/V
n (total moles of gases) = (6/1 moles of hydrogen) + (15.2/14 moles of nitrogen) + (16.8/4 moles of helium) = 6+1.1+4.2 = 11.3 moles
R = 0.082057L.atm/gmol.K, T = 27°C = 27+273K = 300K, V = 10L
P = 11.3×0.082057×300/10 = 27.8 atm
Answer would be neither!
The reason being that it can take the shape and volume of anything.
