Question

HELP PLEASE!!!!The graph below compares the volume occupied by 100 g of liquid water and 100 g of water vapor.

A bar graph is shown with the title, Volume Occupied. The y axis title is, Volume. The x axis title is, Substance. There are two markings on the x axis. One is marked X and the other is marked Y. The bar above X is far higher than the bar above Y.

Which statement best describes the two substances?

Particles are farther apart in liquids so substance Y is liquid water.
Particles are closer together in liquids so substance X is liquid water.
Particles are closer together in gases so substance Y is water vapor.
Particles are farther apart in gases so substance X is water vapor.

Answer 1

The answer is D "Particles are farther apart in gases, so substance X is water vapor. "

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because when the particles are separated, they are apart from each other, so it takes up more space than a liquid because in a liquid state the particles are closer together. Think of ice, for example, let's say you fill a cup with 100g of ice and a cup with 100g of water, the ice will take up more space than the water because the particles are separated father than the liquid.

Answer 2

Answer: particles are farther apart in gases so substance X is water vapor

Explanation: looking at the diagram the substance X is bigger so it contains more room and and the gas particles can more freely
