- Succinic acid, a white solid that melts at 182C, is heated gently, and a gas is given off. After the gas evolution stops, a white solid remains that melts at a temperature different from 182C. a. Have the succinic acid molecules been changed by the process? Explain your answer. b. Is the white solid that remains after heating still succinic acid? Explain you answer. c. In terms of the number of atoms contained, how do you think the size of succinic acid compares with the size of the molecules of the white solid produced by this process? Explain your answer. d. Classify molecules of succinic acid by using the term homoatomic or heteroatomic. Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardYou have two distinct gaseous compounds made from element X and element Y. The mass percents are as follows: Compound I: 30.43% X, 69.57% Y Compound II: 63.64% X, 36.36% Y In their natural standard states, element X and element Y exist as gases. (Monatomic? Diatomic? Triatomic? That is for you to determine.) When you react gas X with gas Y to make the products, you get the following data (all at the same pressure and temperature): 1. volume gas X + 2 volumes gas Y2 volumes compound I 2. volumes gas X + 1 volume gas Y2 volumes compound II Assume the simplest possible formulas for reactants and products in the chemical equations above. Then, determine the relative atomic masses of element X and element Y.arrow_forwardPart II. Complete each statement below by filling in the blanks with the correct words found from the puzzle. 1. Gases, like any other states of matter, consist of very tiny particles, each of which has mass that are very far from each other. Thus, making gases high compressible and have low density. 2. Gas particles move rapidly in straight lines, travel constantly in random directions. 3. Gases diffuse rapidly that allows two or more gases to mix readily when combined. Because of the wide spaces between gas particles, the forces of attraction between them are 4. The is conserved in elastic collision of gas particles. Thus, particles of gases that collide each other or with the walls of its container do not lose kinetic energy, instead, it is only transferred to the lower-energy particle and continue to move. 5. The average energy of gas particles is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.arrow_forward

The average speed of the molecules increases, because they have lower energy in the liquid state. The average speed of the molecules decreases, because they have lower energy in the liquid state.
