The table compares the characteristics of a substance in three different states of matter.

comparison of characteristics
characteristic state x state y state z
average speed of the molecules low greatest least
particle attraction/forces weak negligible strong

which of these best describes the state of the substance represented by state y?

a. it is a solid because there is negligible attraction between particles.
b. it is a liquid because there is negligible attraction between particles.
c. it is a liquid because the particles of the substance have the highest speeds.
d. it is a gas because the particles of the substance have the highest speeds.

V1t2 = v2t1 is an expression of who’s law

To save time, you can approximate the initial mass of the solid to the nearest ±1 g. for example, if you are asked to add 14.3 g of copper, add between 13 g and 15 g. which of the following sets include two samples with an equal density? which all that apply below 15.4 g gold and 18.7 g silver 15.2 g copper and 50.0 g copper 20.2 g silver and 20.2 g copper 11.2 g gold and 14.9 g gold

7. using your knowledge of colligative properties explain whether sodium chloride or calcium chloride would be a more effective substance to melt the ice on a slick sidewalk. use 3 – 4 sentences in your explanation. 8. when a 2.5 mol of sugar (c12h22o11) are added to a certain amount of water the boiling point is raised by 1 celsius degree. if 2.5 mol of aluminum nitrate is added to the same amount of water, by how much will the boiling point be changed? show all calculations leading to your answer or use 3 – 4 sentences to explain your answer. 9. if 5.40 kcal of heat is added to 1.00 kg of water at 100⁰c, how much steam at 100⁰c is produced? show all calculations leading to an answer. 10. the freezing of water at 0⁰c can be represented as follows: h2o (l) ↔ h2o(s) the density of liquid water is 1.00 g/cm3. the density of ice is 0.92 g/cm3. in 3 – 4 sentences explain why applying pressure causes ice to melt.
