Question

7 analyzing processes describe two ways by which the particles in the picture on the left could end up like the particles in the picture on the right. math skills 8 making calculations if the volume of a substance in the gaseous state is 1,000 times the volume of that substance in the liquid state, how much space would 18 ml of that substance in the liquid state take up if it evaporated? internet resources for a variety of links related to this chapter, go to www.scilinks.org topic: changes of state scilinks code: hy70254

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the relationship

The volume of the gaseous state is 1000 times the volume of the liquid state.

Step2: Set up the calculation

If the liquid volume \(V_{liquid}=18\space mL\), then the gaseous volume \(V_{gas}=1000\times V_{liquid}\).
Substitute \(V_{liquid} = 18\space mL\) into the formula: \(V_{gas}=1000\times18\).

Step3: Calculate the result

\(1000\times18 = 18000\space mL\). Since \(1\space L= 1000\space mL\), \(18000\space mL=\frac{18000}{1000}\space L = 18\space L\).

Answer:

\(18000\space mL\) (or \(18\space L\))
