Which statement is true about matter?
a) Matter is particulate—it is composed of particles.
b) The structure of the particles that compose matter determines the properties of matter.
c) The particles that compose matter include atoms and molecules.
d) All of the above statements are true.
Interpretation: To determine the correct statement/s about the matter.
Concept introduction:
Matter can be defined as a substance that occupies any physical space and has inertia. Various types of particles having mass and size compose matter. The particles in the matter are electrons, protons and the neutron which are three sub-atomic particles. These particles combined to form atoms. Matter exist in different states also known as phases. The most common states of matter are solid, liquid and gas. Any element can have more than 1 or 3 states based on the pressure and temperature conditions.
Answer to Problem 1SAQ
Solution:
4. All the above statements are true.
Explanation of Solution
Matter is something that have mass and occupies space thus, it is made up of particles. It is made up of small particles arranged in a fashion that gives the matter its properties. The atoms of same or different elements group together to form molecules. The arrangement of atoms determines the behaviour of the molecules.
Thus, all the statements are correct.

Then, the product solution is analyzed and found to contain, 45% ethanol; 5% acetic acid; and 15% glycerin by weight. If the original charge is 500 kg, evaluate; e. The ratio of sucrose to water in the original charge (wt/wt). f. Moles of CO2 evolved. g. Maximum possible amount of ethanol that could be formed. h. Conversion efficiency. i.

Ensure all figures, reaction mechanisms (with arrows and lone pairs please!!), and structures are clearly drawn to illustrate the synthesis of the product as per the standards of a third year organic chemistry course. ****the solution must include all steps, mechanisms, and intermediate structures as required. Please hand-draw the mechanisms and structures to support your explanation. Don’t give me AI-generated diagrams or text-based explanations, no wordy explanations on how to draw the structures I need help with the exact mechanism hand drawn by you!!! I am reposting this—ensure all parts of the question are straightforward and clear or please let another expert handle it thanks!!arrow_forward
