Answer:

Explanation:

okay, you need to look at the structures of the particles of matter in the solid, liquid and gas.

particles in a solid are in fixed positions, where they can only vibrate in those positions ( take a look at ice, or rather, a brick)
liquids have very small or rather, no spaces between them, but they can slide or rub against each other, like people in a <em>really tight</em> crowd I guess
gas particles have very large spaces between them and they move randomly. these exibit what's called brownian motion.

since water particles (and all other liquid particles) have negligible spacings and limited movement, that allows the dye particles to move from a region of high concentration to that of a low concentration. the aim for this is for the mixture/solution to reach an equilibrium, that is the mixture must get to a point where all regions have the same concentration of the dye.

you can refer to your coursebooks :)

correct where wrong please:)

What is the final temperature when 625 grams of water at 75.0 C loses 7.96 x 10 to the fourth power J ? The specific heat of wat

IgorLugansk [536]

The final temperature : 44.5 °C

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Heat can be formulated :

Q = m . c .Δt

Q = heat, J

m = mass, g

c = specific heat, J/gC

Δt= temperature

m= 625 g

Q=7.96 x 10⁴ J

c = 4.18 j/gC

t₁=75 C

$\tt Q=m.c.\Delta t\\\\7.96\times 10^4=625\times 4.18\times (75-t_2)\\\\75-t_2=30.5\\\\t_2=44.5^oC$

The oxygen atom in a water molecule A is electrically neutral. B carries a negative electrical charge. C carries a positive elec

Klio2033 [76]

Answer: The oxygen atom in a water molecule carries a negative electrical charge.

Explanation:

A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms.

Hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) is an intermolecular force having partial ionic-covalent character. H-bonding takes place between a hydrogen atom (attached with an electronegative atom e.g. O, N and F) and an electronegative atom (O,N and F).

In , $H_2O$ , O is a highly electronegative atom attached to a H atom through a covalent bond. Therefore O atom gets partial negative charge and H atoms get partial positive charge.

If a molecule contains two carbon atoms and four hydrogen atoms, what can you conclude about the bond between the carbon atoms?

g100num [7]

For the given question above, I think the bond between the carbon atoms is a double bond. <span>2 carbon atoms and 4 hydrogen atoms will give an ethene, which has a C=C bond between carbon atoms. I hope this is the answer you are looking for.</span>
