The diagram above shows the repeating groups of atoms that make up two samples. Will the properties of the two samples likely be the same or different? (Examples of properties are smell, color, and the temperature at which a substance melts.)

An exothermic reaction is conducted in an insulated calorimeter filled with water. the calorimeter is then sealed so that there is no heat exchanged between the contents of the container and the surrounding air. which of the following statements is true about the reaction?

Select all of the statements which are true. electrons are located in shells or orbits around the atom. electrons orbit slowly around the atom. electrons travel in one flat path around the nucleus of an atom. the valence of an atom is determined by the number of electrons in the atom's outermost shell.

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. despite its name, silica gel is a solid. it is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of sio2. because water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, it acts as a desiccant. despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. predict the signs for δg, δh, and δs for the adsorption of water.
