Open the PhET States of Matter Simulation to answer the following questions:
(a) Select the Solid, Liquid, Gas tab. Explore by selecting different substances, heating and cooling the systems, and changing the state. What similarities do you notice between the four substances for each phase (solid, liquid, gas)? What differences do you notice?
(b) For each substance, select each of the states and record the given temperatures. How do the given temperatures for each state correlate with the strengths of their intermolecular attractions? Explain.
(c) Select the Interaction Potential tab, and use the default neon atoms. Move the Ne atom on the right and observe how the potential energy changes. Select the Total Force button, and move the Ne atom as before. When is the total force on each atom attractive and large enough to matter? Then select the Component Forces button, and move the Ne atom. When do the attractive (van der Waals) and repulsive (electron overlap) forces balance? How does this relate to the potential energy versus the distance between atoms graph? Explain.

A beaker with 115 mL of an acetic acid buffer with a pH of 5.000 is sitting on a bench top. The total molarity of acid and conjugate base in this buffer is 0.100 M. A student adds 4.80 mL of a 0.420 M HCl solution to the beaker. How much will the pH change? The pKa of acetic acid is 4.740. Express your answer numerically to two decimal places. Use a minus ( − ) sign if the pH has decreased.

You may have heard that ice skaters actually skate on a thin layer of water rather than solid ice (which reduces friction on the blade and allows them to skate faster). Let’s work through a calculation to determine if this statement is reasonable. Estimate the pressure exerted by a 200-lb hockey player, standing on two blades that are 0.1 mm 20 cm. Calculate the melting point of ice below the player, assuming that the density of ice under these conditions is approximately 0.915 g cm–3 and that of liquid water is 0.998 g cm–3. Assuming a typical temperature of ice in a skating rink is 27 °F, does a hockey player skate on ice or water?

A generic solid, X, has a molar mass of 80.4 g/mol. In a constant-pressure calorimeter, 16.0 g of X is dissolved in 337 g of water at 23.00 °C.
The temperature of the resulting solution rises to 28.70 °C. Assume the solution has the same specific heat as water, 4.184 J/(g·°C), and that there\'s negligible heat loss to the surroundings. How much heat was absorbed by the solution?
