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

Answer:

$\large \boxed{1.447 \times 10^{23}\text{ molecules Cu(OH)}_{2 }}$

Explanation:

1. Calculate the moles of copper(II) hydroxide

$\text{Moles of Cu(OH)}_{2} = \text{23.45 g Cu(OH)}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol Cu(OH)}_{2}}{\text{97.562 g Cu(OH)}_{2}} = \\\\\text{0.240 36 mol Cu(OH)}_{2}$

2. Calculate the molecules of copper(II) hydroxide

$\text{No. of molecules} = \text{0.240 36 mol Cu(OH)}_{2} \times \dfrac{6.022 \times 10^{23}\text{ molecules Cu(OH)}_{2}}{\text{1 mol Cu(OH)}_{2}}\\\\= 1.447 \times 10^{23}\text{ molecules Cu(OH)}_{2}\\\text{The sample contains $\large \boxed{\mathbf{1.447 \times 10^{23}}\textbf{ molecules Cu(OH)}_{\mathbf{2}}}$}$

If you have 2.4L of SO2 gas (at STP) how many moles of sulfur dioxide do you have?

Andru [333]

Answer:

0.107 mole of SO2.

Explanation:

1 mole of a gas occupy 22.4 L at standard temperature and pressure (STP).

With the above information, we can simply calculate the number of mole of SO2 that will occupy 2.4 L at STP.

This can be obtained as follow:

22.4 L contains 1 mole of SO2.

Therefore, 2.4 L will contain = 2.4/22.4 = 0.107 mole of SO2.

Therefore, 0.107 mole of SO2 is present in 2.4 L at STP.

Most lakes have rivers flowing out of them, carrying water to the ocean. However, some lakes, including Great Salt Lake and the

Kaylis [27]

Since the only way of water flow to these lakes or bodies of water is through evaporation, I would expect an increase in unknown substances in the composition of the lakes due to the amount of contamination that globalization produces and affects terribly the surroundings when these unknown substances travel through evaporation as the outlet of these bodies of water. Therefore I think continuous contamination is what to expect after many more years of inflow and evaporation.
