Gas is defined as O a. the form of matter that is easily compressible and will fit into a container of almost any size and shape. O b. the form of matter that is relatively incompressible and has a fixed volume but no fixed shape. O C. a material that can be separated by physical means into two or more substances. O d. a substance composed of two or more elements chemically combined. O e. the form of matter characterized by rigidity, and is relatively incompressible and has fixed shape and volume.

he following demonstration takes place in a two-step process: rst, solid calcium carbide (CaC2j)reacts with liquid water to produce acetylene gas (C2H2)and aqueous calcium hydroxide. Second the acetylene gas produced is then ignited with a match, causing the combustion reaction of acetylene with oxygen gas to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water. Write the balanced equations for each reaction that is occurring, including all phases. If a 100.0gsample of calcium carbide (CaC2)is initially reacted with 50.0gof water, which reactant is limiting? Now imagine that the final gases produced are collected in a large bulkier and allowed to cool to room temperature. Using the information from part b ( l00.0gof Cec2reacting with 50.0gof H2O), how many liters of carbon dioxide gas were produced in the balloon at a pressure of 1.00atm and 25C?

he enthalpy (H)of vaporization of water is about seven times larger than water’s enthalpy fusion(41kJ/molvs.6kJ/mol). What does this tell us about the relative similarities among the solid, liquid, and gaseous states of water?
Satellites in space often suffer from vacuum welding, in which two metal parts in contact tend to stick together more than expected over a period of time. Why does this phenomenon occur in space and not on Earth?

A greenhouse contains 256 m³ of air at a temperature of 26°C, and a humidifier in it vaporizes 4.20 L of water. (a) Whatis the pressure of water vapor in the greenhouse, assuming that none escapes and that the air was originally completely dry (dof H₂O =1.00 g/mL)? (b) What total volume of liquid water would have to be vaporized to saturate the air (i.e., achieve 100% rela-tive humidity)?
