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 Particles Low Greatest Least
Particle Attraction/Forces Weak Negligible Strong

Which of these best describes the state of the substance represented by State Z?
It is a solid because strong attractive forces prevent particles from moving.
It is a liquid because strong attractive forces prevent particles from moving.
It is a liquid because weak attractive forces allow for some motion.
It is a gas because weak attractive forces allow for some motion.

Consider three unlabeled bottles, each contain small pieces of one of the following metals. - magnesium - sodium - silver the following reagents are used for identifying the metals. - pure water - a solution of 1.0 molar hcl - a solution of concentrated hno3 (a) which metal can be easily identified because it is much softer than the other two? describe a chemical test that distinguishes this metal from the other two, using only one of the reagents above. write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs. (b) one of the other two metals reacts readily with the hcl solution. identify the metal and write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs when this metal is added to the hcl solution. use the table of standard reduction potentials (attached) to account for the fact that this metal reacts with hcl while the other does not. (c) the one remaining metal reacts with the concentrated hno3 solution. write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs. (d) the solution obtained in (c) is diluted and a few drops of 1 m hcl is added. describe what would be observed. write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs.

22. a flask containing 450 ml of 0.50 m h2so4 was accidentally knocked to the floor. how many grams of nahco, do you need to put on the spill to neutralize the acid according to the following equation: h2so4(aq)+2 nahcos(aq) na,so(aq) +2 h20()+2 co2(g) d) 38 g a) 2.3 g b) 9.5 g c) 19 g
