Solids and liquids are excluded from equilibrium expressions because?

They are just the medium in which the equilibrium takes place. It could be similar to boys and girls dating in a disco. The boys and girls (ions) interaction is different to the disco (liquid) that is allowing the interaction to take place, but is not interfering with it.

Why are solids and liquids not included in equilibrium expressions?
Because in comparison to the gases present they have insignificant volume. The basis of the equation for Kcis the molar volume concentration. For solids or liquids, this will be very close to zero, so it is not included.
Can liquids effuse?
Yes, liquids can effuse because i did a project on liquid and my friend did something and it effused
Why are microwave spectra difficult to be observed in case of solids and liquids?
Because in solid and liquid....no nuclear spin is observed....
Why Solids are strong?
Solids are strong because they are not like liquids,liquids can go through your hand and solids cant
Why is kinetic energy of liquids more than solids?
The kinetic energy in liquids is greater than that in solids because the molecules in solids are more closely packed together than in liquids such that liquids can freely move about within the containing vessel.

What happens if an objects density and a liquids density are equal?
Equilibrium. (It neither rises nor sinks.)
What happens when liquids are exposed to air?
It evaporates :)
Solution equilibrium most likely exists in which type of solution?
Equilibrium is only found in a saturated solution, where the dissolved species and the undissolved species are in equilibrium with each other. In a dilute solution there is nothing that is undissolved, and so there is no equilibrium, and by definition a supersaturated solution is out of equilibrium and essentially has too much stuff dissolved in it (it will eventually return to equilibrium and some of the dissolved material will precipitate out).
Why do you keep liquids in containers?
Because liquids has not a form (as solids).
When and where does diffusion happen?
diffusion can happen either in gases or liquids. it happens when a high concentration of something appears and it spreads out until an equilibrium is reached.
Distillation can be used separate solutions of miscible liquids because?
Distillation can be used to separate solutions of miscible liquids, because the liquids have different boiling points. Distillation works because it vaporizes the more volatile of the two liquids.
Why hot liquids float above cool liquids?
Hot liquids float above cool liquids because hot liquids weight less than cold liquids.not useful
Why are liquids juicy?
Because they are wet
Can liquids effuse?
Yes, liquids can effuse because i did a project on liquid and my friend did something and it effused
Why can liquids and gases take the shape of their containers but solids cant?
Because a solid is.. well, solid. Liquids morph, because they aren't "hard"
Why hydraulic oil incompressible?
it is the property of the liquids. all the liquids are incompressible. this is because the change in volume due to pressure is negligible for liquids. in liquids the molecules are almost compact and hence no space for compression.
