<span>Atoms move at different speeds depending on whether they are in liquids or solids </span><span>because the atoms or particles in solids are closely bonded while they are loosely bonded in liquids.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>The attractive forces between the particles are so high that they remain in fixed positions. The particles, then, cannot slip over the neighbors particles. They can only vibrate. That is why solids have definite form and volume.</span><span />

<span>That the particles in liquids are loosely bonded means that the attractive forces are less compared with solids. Then the partilces can move and pass each other. They are not in fixed arrangements any more. Yet the particles are attracted to each other, so they have definite volume, although they take the form of the vessel, and they can flow.

Which of the following is a valid conversion factor?
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

100 cg/1g

Step-by-step explanation:

    1 cg = 0.01 g     Multiply by 100

100 cg = 1 g

(a) is <em>wrong</em>. The correct conversion factor is 1000 cm³/1 L.

(b) is <em>wrong</em>. The correct conversion factor is 1000 mL/1 L.

(c) is <em>wrong</em>. The correct conversion factor is 1 m/10 dm.

in sample of elemental bromine, 55% or the atoms are Br-79, and the remainder are Br-81. if this sample is typical of naturally
Gwar [14]

Answer:

The average atomic mass of bromine is 79.9 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of Br⁷⁹ = 55%

Percentage of Br⁸¹ = 45%

Average atomic mass of bromine = ?

Formula:

Average atomic mass = [mass of isotope× its abundance] + [mass of isotope× its abundance] +...[ ] / 100

Now we will put the values in formula.

Average atomic mass = [55 × 79] + [81 ×45] / 100

Average atomic mass = 4345 + 3645 / 100

Average atomic mass = 7990 / 100

Average atomic mass = 79.9 amu

The average atomic mass of bromine is 79.9 amu.

What volume of a 0.716 m kbr solution is needed to provide 30.5 g of kbr?
Jlenok [28]
Answer is: volume of KBr is 357 mL.
c(KBr) = 0,716 M = 0,716 mol/L.
m(KBr) = 30,5 g.
n(KBr) = m(KBr) ÷ M(KBr).
n(KBr) = 30,5 g ÷ 119 g/mol.
n(KBr) = 0,256 mol.
V(KBr) = n(KBr) ÷ c(KBr).
V(KBr) = 0,256 mol ÷ 0,716 mol/L.
V(KBr) = 0,357 L · 1000 mL/L = 357 mL.

suppose that during the icy hot lab that 65 kj of energy were transferred to 450 g of water at 20 C. What would have been the fi
balandron [24]

Answer:

The final temperature of water is 54.5 °C.

Explanation:

Given data:

Energy transferred = 65 Kj

Mass of water = 450 g

Initial temperature = T1 = 20 °C

Final temperature= T2 = ?

Solution:

First of all we will convert the heat in Kj to joule.

1 Kj = 1000 j

65× 1000 = 65000 j

specific heat of water is 4.186 J /g. °C

Formula:

q = m × c × ΔT

ΔT = T2 - T1

Now we will put the values in Formula.

65000 j = 450 g × 4.186 J /g. °C  × (T2 - 20°C )

65000 j = 1883.7 j /°C × (T2 - 20°C )

65000 j/ 1883.7 j /°C  = T2 - 20°C

34.51 °C = T2 - 20°C

34.51 °C + 20 °C = T2

T2 = 54.5 °C
