Temperature and pressure
The two factors that determine the state of a substance are temperature and pressure. These factors influence whether a substance exists as a solid, liquid, or gas.
Temperature and pressure
To use a half-life steady state calculator to determine the equilibrium concentration of a substance over time, you need to input the initial concentration of the substance, the half-life of the substance, and the time period you are interested in. The calculator will then calculate the equilibrium concentration based on the given parameters.
To calculate the steady state from the half-life of a substance, you can use the formula: Steady state concentration Initial concentration x (1/2)(t/h), where t is the time elapsed and h is the half-life of the substance. This formula helps determine the amount of substance that remains in a system after reaching a stable equilibrium.
If the melting point is under 20 oC the substance is a liquid.
A pH test can be conducted to determine the acidity or alkalinity of a substance.
The state in which a substance exists at room temperature typically depends on both the temperature and pressure conditions. These conditions will determine whether the substance will be a solid, liquid, or gas at that specific temperature.
It's Energy state (Temperature)Energy State of environment (Temperature)Mechanical pressure (compression, air pressure, etc.)properties of the substance (composition, heat coefficient, melting point, etc.)
To determine the mass of a substance, you can use a balance or scale to measure the amount of matter in the substance. The mass is typically measured in grams or kilograms.
Typically pressure and temperature determine whether a substance is gas, liquid or solid. Some substances however are not easily forced into some of the states, and that is determined by by individual molecular qualities.
Chemical
One way to determine if a change is physical is if the substance changes its form or appearance without altering its chemical composition. For example, melting or freezing a substance, dissolving it in water, or changing its state of matter are all physical changes.
