Examine the incomplete statement. liquids have a _[blank]_ shape and _[blank]_ volume. which words best complete the statement? fixed; fixed variable; variable variable; fixed fixed; variable

Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In liquids, molecules are held by slightly less strong intermolecular forces of attraction as compared to solids.

Hence, molecules of a liquid are able to slide past each other as they have more kinetic energy than the molecules of a solid.

As a result, liquids are able to occupy the shape of container in which they are placed. Also, liquids have fixed volume but no fixed shape.

Thus, we can conclude that liquids have a variable shape and a fixed volume.

variable, fixed

Explanation:

here we have to get the change of moles on decrease the volume of the reaction in gas phase.

the   per the given options it will decrease by (d) 11-50%

we know, on decreasing the volume of the gas phase reaction the reaction moves to the product side.

the reaction:                     so₂cl₂ (g) = so₂ (g) + cl₂ (g)         total

the moles at equilibrium:   1 - α                 α               α           = 1+α

concentrations:                   1 - α               α               α           = 1 + α

(concentration = moles/volume, as volume is 1 l)

(where α is the degree of dissociation)

now the dissociation constant in terms of concentration is :

=  

or,

or,   = (at v = 1l)

the reaction:                     so₂cl₂ (g) = so₂ (g) + cl₂ (g)         total

the moles at equilibrium:   1 - α                 α               α           = 1+α

concentrations:               (1 - α)/0.5           α/0.5         α/0.5       = (1 + α)/0.5

thus, the dissociation constant in terms of concentration is :

or,  

=  

so, the change of 1 : 1/0.5

or, 1: 2

thus it will decrease by 50%.

or, as per the given options it will decrease by 11-50%

it is a good conductor
