Mrs. smith ordered a root beer float (vanilla ice cream + root beer). mrs. smith noticed that the three states of matter (solid, liquid, and gas) all existed simultaneously in her root beer float. a. identify each phase of matter in the root beer float. b. describe the particles of all three phases of matter in the root beer float. (how are the particles arranged and moving? ) c. identify one phase change you would see in a root beer float and described what causes this change.

1. suppose a reaction mixture, when diluted with water, afforded 300 ml of an aqueous solution of 30 g of the reaction product malononitrile [ch2(cn)2], which is to be isolated by extraction with ether. the solubility of malononitrile in ether at room temperature is 20.0 g/100 ml, and in water is 13.3 g/100 ml. what weight of malononitrile would be recovered by extraction with (a) three 100-ml portions of ether and (b) one 300-ml portion of ether? suggestion: for each extraction, let x equal the weight extracted into the ether layer. in part (a), the concentration in the ether layer is x/100 and in the water layer is (30 x)/300; the ratio of these quantities is equal to k 20/13.3.

The difference between the atomic number of an element and the element’s atomic mass is the number of ions.
