Questions and Answers

Why are liquids and solids considered nearly incompressible?

  • Because they have very little empty space between molecules (correct)
  • Because they have a high vapor pressure
  • Because their molecules are very small
  • Because they are easily compressed by applying pressure

    • What makes it difficult to compress liquids and solids?

  • Large size of the molecules
  • High vapor pressure
  • Lack of empty space between molecules (correct)
  • Low density of the molecules

    • Which property contributes to the nearly incompressible nature of liquids and solids?

  • Large size of molecules
  • Low density of molecules
  • High vapor pressure
  • Limited empty space between molecules (correct)

    • What is diffusion?

    How does density affect the rate of diffusion?

    <p>The rate of diffusion is proportional to the mass of the liquid or gas being diffused</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What effect does temperature have on the rate of diffusion?

    <p>The kinetic energy of the molecules increases as temperature rises, resulting in an enhanced rate of diffusion</p> Signup and view all the answers
