Why does liquid water take the shape of a cup it is poured into, but solid ice cubes do not?

A
Because the molecules of liquid water are softer than the molecules of solid ice.

B
Because the molecules of liquid water are smaller than the molecules of solid ice.

C
Because the molecules of liquid water are moving but the molecules of solid ice are not.

D
Because the molecules of liquid water can easily move past one another but the molecules of solid ice cannot.

An occluded front moves over the farmland that has been experiencing drought conditions. what change in weather will this front likely bring? a. gray skies, but no rain b. an extended period of rain c. more dry air and sunny skies d. violent, short-lived thunderstorms

The earth's moon is unusually large. two popular theories of the moon's origin include the "sister world" hypothesis, which states that the moon formed from the same materials as the earth, near enough to the earth that they fell into orbit around each other. a second theory is the "capture" hypothesis, in which the moon formed elsewhere in the solar system, and the earth's gravity pulled it into its orbit. studies of what the moon is made of indicate that some of its materials had to come from the earth or from the same area of the solar system where the earth had formed. at the same time, the moon does not contain much of the material that makes up the earth's core, so the moon could not have formed from the same materials as the earth. how do the two facts above affect the described theories of the moon's origin? a. they show that scientists will never agree on where the moon came from. b. they show that more experiments on moon formation need to be done. c. they show that no theory accounts for the existence of the moon. d. they show that neither theory is complete and entirely correct.

Lem 2 the data below are for the system ethyl propyl ether (1)-chloroform (2) at 0.5 bar. use the data to answer the following questions (all questions refer to p d 0: 5 bar). a) what are the boiling points of the pure components at 0.5 bar? b) a mixture with the overall composition z1 d 0: 1 is brought to 47.6ä±c, 0.5 bar. what is the phase? c) 100 mole of a mixture with z1 d 0: 1 (state a) is mixed with 22 mole of pure ethyl propyl ether vapor (state b). the mixing takes place at 47.6 ä±c, 0.5. bar. what is the phase of the resulting mixture (state c)? if the state is a v/l mixture report the number of moles and mole fractions in each phase. d) plot the txy graph and show states a, b and c. the graph must be done by computer and should be properly annotated. ethyl propyl ether (1) - chloroform (2) at 0.5 bar t ( ä±c) x1 y1 t ( ä±c) x1 y1 42.9 0.000 0.000 49.0 0.470 0.455 43.0 0.020 0.010 49.1 0.520 0.520 43.9 0.065 0.029 48.9 0.567 0.592 45.4 0.156 0.089 48.3 0.652 0.720 46.4 0.215 0.142 47.6 0.745 0.815 47.6 0.296 0.223 46.7 0.822 0.872 48.3 0.362 0.302 45.7 0.907 0.937 48.7 0.410 0.375 44.6 1.000
