Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the given statement on a relative scale, compressibility is described as large rather than small describes a
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the given statement on a relative scale, thermal expansion is described as moderate rather than small describes a gas, a liquid, or a solid has to be indicated.
(c)
Interpretation:
Whether the given statement in general, particles are held together in a rigid structural arrangement describes a gas, a liquid, or a solid has to be indicated.
(d)
Interpretation:
Whether the given statement in general, particles are very close together in a random arrangement describes a gas, a liquid, or a solid has to be indicated.

- Baking Explain why the baking instructions on a boxof cake mix are different for high and low elevations.Would you expect to have a longer or a shorter cookingtime at a high elevation?arrow_forwardDraw molecular—level views than show the differences among solids, liquids, and gases.arrow_forwardhe following demonstration takes place in a two-step process: rst, solid calcium carbide (CaC2j)reacts with liquid water to produce acetylene gas (C2H2)and aqueous calcium hydroxide. Second the acetylene gas produced is then ignited with a match, causing the combustion reaction of acetylene with oxygen gas to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water. Write the balanced equations for each reaction that is occurring, including all phases. If a 100.0gsample of calcium carbide (CaC2)is initially reacted with 50.0gof water, which reactant is limiting? Now imagine that the final gases produced are collected in a large bulkier and allowed to cool to room temperature. Using the information from part b ( l00.0gof Cec2reacting with 50.0gof H2O), how many liters of carbon dioxide gas were produced in the balloon at a pressure of 1.00atm and 25C?arrow_forward
- Use the kinetic molecular theory to explain why a liquid gets cooler as it evaporates from an insulated container.arrow_forwardIndicate whether each of the following statements about the physical states of matter is true or false. a. The term indefinite shape applies to both liquids and gases. b. Thermal expansion for a gas is generally less than that of the corresponding liquid. c. The compressibility of a liquid is generally greater than that of the corresponding solid. d. The density of a liquid is about the same as that of the corresponding gas.arrow_forwardWhen dry ammonia gas (NH3)is bubbled into a msp;125mLsample of water, the volume of the sample (initially, at least) decreases slightly. Suggest a reason for this.arrow_forward
- In terms of the kinetic molecular theory, in what ways are liquids similar to solids? In what ways are liquids different from solids?arrow_forwardIodine, I2, is a solid at room temperature but sublimes (converts from a solid into a gas) when warmed. What is the temperature in a 73.3-mL bulb that contains 0.292 g of I2 vapor at a pressure of 0.462 atm?arrow_forward
