Interpretation:
Similarities and differences in the manner a gas and a liquid occupy a container has to be described.
Concept Introduction:
The three
Explanation of Solution
The major difference in the gaseous and liquid state arises from the type of intermolecular spaces found in them. The gaseous molecules have sufficient spaces between their molecules while the liquid molecules have comparatively less intermolecular spaces between them. This makes gaseous molecules far more compressible compared to the liquid molecules that are relatively much less compressible.
The similarity in gaseous and liquid states is that both have no fixed shape. As a result, they occupy shape of the vessel they are poured in.

Chemistry: Principles and Practice
- Draw molecular-level views that show the differences among solids, liquids, and gases.arrow_forwardIn terms of the kinetic molecular theory, in what ways are liquids similar to gases? In what ways are liquids different from gases?arrow_forwardA balloon filled with helium gas is found to take 6 hours to deflate to 50% of its original volume. How long will it take for an identical balloon filled with the same volume of hydrogen gas (instead of helium) to decrease its volume by 50%?arrow_forward
- A bag of potato chips is packed and sealed in Los Angeles,California, and then shipped to Lake Tahoe, Nevada, duringski season. It is noticed that the volume of the bag of potatochips has increased upon its arrival in Lake Tahoe. What external conditions would most likely cause the volume increase?arrow_forwardThis relationship is known as Graham’s Law of Effusion. Since both gases are at the same temperature, they must have the same average kinetic energy (½ mv2), where m is mass and v is velocity (like speed). Since both gases have the same average kinetic energy, you can state that ½ mLvL2 = ½ mHvH2. Multiplying both sides by 2 gives you mLvL2 = mHvH2. Rearranging the equation to get both masses on the same side of the equation will give you mL/mH = VH2/VL2. In 3a and 3b, you probably noticed that the heavy gas particles took twice as long to diffuse as the light gas particles. This means that the light gas particles are moving twice as fast, VH/VL = ½. Therefore, VH2/VL2 = ¼. If the light gas was Ne, what would be a reasonable identity for the heavy gas? Explain.arrow_forwardAt a given temperature and pressure, Helium takes 4.98 minutes for a 1.5 L sample to effuse through a membrane. How long does it take 1.5 L of Neon to effuse under the same conditions?arrow_forward
- A quantity of N2(g) gas occupies a volume of 1.0 L at 300 K and 1.0 atm. The gas expands to a volume of 3.0 L as the result of a change in both temperature and pressure. Find the density of the gas (in g·L–1) under these new conditions.arrow_forwardAn empty 149-mL flask weighs 68.322 g before a sample of volatile liquid is added. The flask is then placed in a hot (95.0oC) water bath; the barometric pressure is 740. torr. The liquid vaporizes and the gas fills the flask. After cooling, flask and condensed liquid together weigh 68.697 g. What is the molar mass of the liquid?arrow_forwardA sample of neon gas occupies a volume of 9.40 L at 53.0°C and 0.440 atm. If it is desired to decrease the volume of the gas sample to 7.44 L, while increasing its pressure to 0.540 atm, the temperature of the gas sample at the new volume and pressure must be | PC.arrow_forward
