Q. 3.75 - An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry

Question

Identify each of the following as solid, liquid, or gas: $\left(3.2\right)$

a. vitamin tablets in a bottle

b. helium in a balloon

c. milk in a bottle

d. the air you breathe

e. charcoal briquettes on a barbecue

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The three fundamental forms of matter are solids, liquids, and gases. It, like everything else in the world, takes up space. A solid maintains its shape, but a liquid picks up the shape of the mold and is dissolved by a gas.

(part a) Vitamin tablets in a bottle - Solid 

(part b) Helium in a balloon - Gas.

(part c) milk in a bottle - Liquid.

(part d) the air you breathe - Gas.

(part e) charcoal briquettes on a barbecue - Solid.

Step 1: Given information (part a)

One of the four basic properties of matter is concrete. Solid molecules have a high density and  the lowest angular momentum. The consequences and susceptibility to stress applied to the edges of a solid are characteristic of the solid.

Step 2: Explanation (part a)

(a) Vitamin tablets in a bottle - Solid 

Step 3: Given information (part b)

Even under the influence of attraction and irrelevant of the solute in the receptacle, a cloud is a heterogeneous material that forms the bulk of the container in which it is confined and gains a compact structure inside the canister.

Step 4: Explanation (part b)

(b) Helium in a balloon - Gas.

Step 5: Given information (part c)

A medication's innate willingness to pour, with little or no urge to disseminate and high interning Fluidity, solubility, and liquidness are counterparts.

Step 6: Explanation (part c)

c. milk in a bottle - Liquid.

Step 7: Given information (part d)

Even under the influence of attraction and irrelevant of the solute in the receptacle, a cloud is a heterogeneous material that forms the bulk of the container in which it is confined and gains a compact structure inside the canister.

Step 8: Explanation (part d)

d. the air you breathe - Gas.

Step 9: Given information (part e)

One of the four basic properties of matter is concrete. Solid molecules have a high density and  the lowest angular momentum. The consequences and susceptibility to stress applied to the edges of a solid are characteristic of the solid.

Step 10: Explanation (part e)

e. charcoal briquettes on a barbecue - Solid.
