Answer:

What can liquids do that solids cannot?Liquids will flow and fill up any shape of container. Solids like to hold their shape. In the same way that a large solid holds its shape, the atoms inside of a solid are not allowed to move around too much. Atoms and molecules in liquids and gases are bouncing and floating around, free to move where they want.

What can gases do that solids cannot?The atoms and molecules in gases are much more spread out than in solids or liquids. They vibrate and move freely at high speeds. A gas will fill any container, but if the container is not sealed, the gas will escape. Gas can be compressed much more easily than a liquid or solid.

I hope this helps

Doing an Endothermic reaction, what happens to energy in relation to the surroundings?

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Doing an Endothermic reaction, energy is absorbed from surroundings

Explanation:

Endothermic reactions:

The type of reactions in which energy is absorbed are called endothermic reactions.

In this type of reaction energy needed to break the bond are higher than the energy released during bond formation.

For example:

C + H₂O → CO + H₂

ΔH = +131 kj/mol

it can be written as,

C + H₂O + 131 kj/mol → CO + H₂

we can see that 131 kj/mol energy is taken by the reactants. So energy is absorbed from surrounding.

Exothermic reaction:

The type of reactions in which energy is released are called exothermic reactions.

In this type of reaction energy needed to break the bonds are less than the energy released during the bond formation.

For example:

Chemical equation:

C + O₂ → CO₂

ΔH = -393 Kj/mol

it can be written as,

C + O₂ → CO₂ + 393 Kj/mol

A student makes a compound of sulfur and oxygen. She uses 5.00 g of sulfur and 4.99 g of oxygen, and all of the elemental substa

victus00 [196]

First, we apply the law of conservation of mass which states that the total mass in a system remains constant.
Therefore, there must be 5.00 g of sulfur and 4.99 g of oxygen in the product. Now, we determine the mass percentage using:

Mass % = (mass of sulfur x 100) / total mass of compound

Mass % = (5 * 100) / (5 + 4.99)

Mass % = 50.05%

The product contains 50.05% sulfur by mass.
