(a)
Interpretation:
How liquids are distinguished from solids based on its characteristics has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
The study that is concerned with composition, transformation, and characteristics of matter is known as chemistry. Anything that occupied space and has mass is known as matter. Amount of matter present in the sample is termed as mass. Matter includes all the things that are naturally occurring things and synthetic materials. Forms of energy like heat, light are not considered to be matter.
Matter exists in three physical states and they are solid, liquid and gas. Physical state is based simple on shape and volume are definite or indefinite. Physical state that is characterized by definite shape and volume is known as solid. Physical state that is characterized by indefinite shape and definite volume is known as liquid. Physical state that is characterized by indefinite shape and indefinite volume is known as gas.
(b)
Interpretation:
How gases are distinguished from liquids based on its characteristics has to be given.

- Characterize gases, liquids, and solids in terms of compressibility and fluidity.arrow_forwardIs there a difference between a homogeneous mixture of hydrogen and oxygen in a 2:1 ratio and a sample of water vapor? Explain.arrow_forwardsolution is a homogeneous mixture. Can you give an example of a gaseous homogeneous mixture? A liquid homogeneous mixture? A solid homogeneous mixture?arrow_forward
- Two identical clear liquids were placed in separate containers labeled Sample A and Sample B. Both containers were left open until all the liquid evaporated in each. It was later observed that the container holding Sample A was empty. Meanwhile, white crystalline solids were found in the container of Sample B. Which of the following statements is FALSE about the given situation? Select one: a.The white crystalline solid is soluble in the liquid present in Sample B. b.Filtration can be used to separate the white crystalline solids in Sample B prior to evaporation. c.The absence of residue in Sample A after evaporation implies that it could be a pure substance. d.Sample A and Sample B both exist as one distinct phase before evaporation.arrow_forward2. An example of a liquid in solid solution is a. water in air b. zinc in copper C. mercury in silver and tin d. salt in waterarrow_forwarda. In comparing the relative distances among the molecules in each state of matter, what would be the rank of these states in terms of increasing distance between particles? b. How would you describe the characteristic movement of the particles of a gas? A liquid? A solid? c. How would you describe the relative arrangement of molecules of each state of matter? d. What arrangement would you make for the three phases of matter in order of increasing volume of empty space between its molecules? e. What are the properties of matter that corresponds to the molecular behavior?arrow_forward
