(a)
Interpretation:
How liquids are distinguished from solids based on its characteristics has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
The study that is concerned with composition, transformation, and characteristics of matter is known as chemistry. Anything that occupied space and has mass is known as matter. Amount of matter present in the sample is termed as mass. Matter includes all the things that are naturally occurring things and synthetic materials. Forms of energy like heat, light are not considered to be matter.
Matter exists in three physical states and they are solid, liquid and gas. Physical state is based simple on shape and volume are definite or indefinite. Physical state that is characterized by definite shape and volume is known as solid. Physical state that is characterized by indefinite shape and definite volume is known as liquid. Physical state that is characterized by indefinite shape and indefinite volume is known as gas.
(b)
Interpretation:
How gases are distinguished from liquids based on its characteristics has to be given.

- Characterize gases, liquids, and solids in terms of compressibility and fluidity.arrow_forwardIs there a difference between a homogeneous mixture of hydrogen and oxygen in a 2:1 ratio and a sample of water vapor? Explain.arrow_forwardsolution is a homogeneous mixture. Can you give an example of a gaseous homogeneous mixture? A liquid homogeneous mixture? A solid homogeneous mixture?arrow_forward
- 7. What is a pure substance that is only made of type of atom? A. Element C. Compound D. Elixir B. Suspension What is a molecule that is made of atoms of two or more elements chemically 8. bonded together? A. Heterogeneous B. Heteronuclear C. Homogeneous D. Homonuclear 9. Which best describes heterogeneous mixtures? A. They must always be made of liquid components. No gas or solid components. B. The components must always be mixed or dispersed uniformly within the same physical state. C. The components are always visible and distinguishable from the other components. D. All of the options are correct. 10 Which best describes a homogenous mixture? A. They must always be made of liquid components. No gas or solid components. B. The components must always be mixed or dispersed uniformly within the same physical state. C. The components are always visible and distinguishable from the other components. D. All of the options are correct. 11 Which method would be the most effect to separate…arrow_forwardWhich causes the high density of solids? The particles are more massive than those in liquids. The intermolecular forces between particles are weak. The particles are packed closely together. The kinetic energy of the particles is very high. b) 6.arrow_forwardTwo identical clear liquids were placed in separate containers labeled Sample A and Sample B. Both containers were left open until all the liquid evaporated in each. It was later observed that the container holding Sample A was empty. Meanwhile, white crystalline solids were found in the container of Sample B. Which of the following statements is FALSE about the given situation? Select one: a.The white crystalline solid is soluble in the liquid present in Sample B. b.Filtration can be used to separate the white crystalline solids in Sample B prior to evaporation. c.The absence of residue in Sample A after evaporation implies that it could be a pure substance. d.Sample A and Sample B both exist as one distinct phase before evaporation.arrow_forward
- What is Homogeneous substance? Give an example?arrow_forwardExtensive properties of matter are A. depend on the energy the substance possesses. B. depend on the amount of a substance present in the sample. C. are independent of the amount of a substance that is present. D. are independent on the type of substance required. OE. depend on the way a substance behaves.arrow_forwardDescribe the characteristic movement of the particles of solid, liquid and gas and arranged them in increasing motion of the particlesarrow_forward
- Classify each as either a solid, a liquid, or a gas at room temperature.a. milk d. heliumb. air e. diamondc. copper f. candle waxarrow_forwardWhat is it called when water goes from a liquid to to a solid? From a solid to a liquid? From a liquid to gas.arrow_forward1. What pieces of apparatus or equipment are used for measuring: a. Temperature? b. Small amount of liquids? c. Large amount of liquids? d. Mass of a substance? 2. Suggest ways on how to store and handle properly the different glassware to avoid accidents in the laboratory. You can use illustrations to show your idea. 3. Why is the most of the containers of substances and those used for heating are made up of glass rather than metal? 4. Explain why the thermometer should not be shaken rigorously to lower the reading to zero before using it.arrow_forward
