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

A decomposition reaction

Explanation

A decomposition reaction is type of chemical reaction which involve breaking down a compound into smaller compounds or individual elements.
SiCl2→ Si +Cl2 is a decomposition reaction because SICl2 is broken down into Si and Cl2
Decomposition reaction often involve input of energy in form of heat to break down compounds

What mass of water vapor is produced from the gas phase reaction of O2 with H2 in a 2.5 L container at 28 °C if the partial pres

Bumek [7]

Answer:2.27 g H2O

Explanation:

Step 1. Get the limiting reagent

1.24 atm of H2 would react completely with 1.24 x (1/2) = 0.62 atm of O2, but there is more O2 present than that (0.98). O2 is in excess and H2 is the limiting reactant.

If the reaction goes to completion:

(1.24 atm H2) x (2 mol H2O / 2 mol H2) = 1.24 atm H2O vapor

n = PV / RT = (1.24 atm) x (2.5 L) / ((0.08205746 L atm/K mol) x (28 + 273)K) = 0.126 mol H2O

(0.126 mol H2O) x (18.01532 g H2O/mol) = 2.27 g H2O
