How do you tell if the sample of matter is solid,liquid or gas?

2 answers:

6 0

Solid - the substance does not change depending on the container. It has a rigid and unmoving structure.

liquid- the substance maintains its volume, but assumes the shape of the container. 

gas - the substance assumes the entire volume AND shape of the container.

There is one simple way to determine between solids, liquids, and gases. Are you able to move the substance? And if you are, how does it move? If it takes on the shape of its new container, it is a liquid. For example, if you pour water from a cup into a bowl, it will fill the bowl, not stay in the same shape as it was in the cup. However, if you put a marble in a cup and then pour the marble into the bowl, it will remain the same shape, and is therefore a solid. If you move a gas into a container, and the container is not sealed, it will not remain in the same shape.

What is the net ionic equation of the reaction of MgSO4 with Pb(NO3)2? Express you answer as a chemical equation including phase

Nady [450]

Answer : The net ionic equation will be,

$Pb^{2+}(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow PbSO_4(s)$

Explanation :

In the net ionic equations, we are not include the spectator ions in the equations.

Spectator ions : The same number of ions present on reactant and product side which do not participate in a reactions.

The given balanced ionic equation will be,

$MgSO_4(aq)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow Mg(NO_3)_2(aq)+PbSO_4(s)$

The ionic equation in separated aqueous solution will be,

$Mg^{2+}(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)+Pb^{2+}(aq)+2NO^{3-}(aq)\rightarrow PbSO_4(s)+Mg^{2+}(aq)+2NO^{3-}(aq)$

In this equation, $Mg^{2+}\text{ and }NO_3^-$ are the spectator ions.

By removing the spectator ions from the balanced ionic equation, we get the net ionic equation.

The net ionic equation will be,

$Pb^{2+}(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow PbSO_4(s)$

What is the maximum number of grams of PH3 that can be formed when 6.2 g of phosphorus reacts with 4.0 g of hydrogen to form PH3

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

6.79 g of phosphine can be produced

Explanation:

The reaction is this:

3H₂ + 2P → 2PH₃

We have the mass of the two reactants, so let's find out the limiting reactant, so we can work with the equation. Firstly, we convert the mass to moles (mass / molar mass)

6.2 g / 30.97 g/mol = 0.200 moles of P

4g / 2 g/mol = 2 moles of H₂

Ratio is 3:2.

3 moles of hydrogen react with 2 moles of P

Then, 2 moles of H₂ would react with (2 . 2)/ 3 = 1.3 moles of P.

We have only 0.2 moles of P, so clearly the phosphorous is the limiting reactant.

Ratio is 2:2. So 2 moles of P can produce 2 moles of phosphine. Therefore, 0.2 moles of P must produce the same amount of phosphine.

Let's convert the moles to mass ( mol . molar mass)

0.2 mol . 33.97 g/mol = 6.79 g

Dumbledore decides to gives a surprise demonstration. He starts with a hydrate of Na2CO3 which has a mass of 4.31 g before heati

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Na₂CO₃.2H₂O

Explanation:

For the hydrated compound, let us denote is by Na₂CO₃.xH₂O

The unknown is the value of x which is the amount of water of crystallisation.

Given values:

Starting mass of hydrate i.e Na₂CO₃.xH₂O = 4.31g

Mass after heating (Na₂CO₃) = 3.22g

Mass of the water of crystallisation = (4.31-3.22)g = 1.09g

To determine the integer x, we find the number of moles of the anhydrous Na₂CO₃ and that of the water of crystallisation:

Number of moles = $\frac{mass }{molar mass }$

Molar mass of Na₂CO₃ =[(23x2) + 12 + (16x3)] = 106gmol⁻¹

Molar mass of H₂O = [(1x2) + (16)] = 18gmol⁻¹

Number of moles of Na₂CO₃ = $\frac{3.22}{106}$ = 0.03mole

Number of moles of H₂O = $\frac{1.09}{18}$ = 0.06mole

From the obtained number of moles:

Na₂CO₃ H₂O

0.03 0.06

Simplest

Ratio 0.03/0.03 0.03/0.06

1 2

Therefore, x = 2
