a group of students are wandering around a room. when their teacher claps, the students sit down wherever they are.

this situation best models the formation of which type of solid?
1) an amorphous solid because the particles do not have a regular structure
2) an amorphous solid because the motion of the particles stopped
3) a crystalline solid because the moving particles lock into fixed positions
4) a crystalline solid because the particles have a long-range order

Two nitro no2 groups are chemically bonded to a patch of surface. they can't move to another location on the surface, but they can rotate (see sketch at right). it turns out that the amount of rotational kinetic energy each no2 group can have is required to be a multiple of ε, where =ε×1.010−24 j. in other words, each no2 group could have ε of rotational kinetic energy, or 2ε, or 3ε, and so forth — but it cannot have just any old amount of rotational kinetic energy. suppose the total rotational kinetic energy in this system is initially known to be 32ε. then, some heat is removed from the system, and the total rotational kinetic energy falls to 18ε. calculate the change in entropy. round your answer to 3 significant digits, and be sure it has the correct unit symbol.

6. using 3 – 4 sentences explain (in your own words) why water expands when it freezes? 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.

Select all that apply. using a value of ksp = 1.8 x 10-2 for the reaction pbcl2 (s) pb+2(aq) + 2cl -(aq). the concentration of the products yield a ksp of 2.1 x 10-2:
