Paintball is a popular recreational activity that uses a metal tank of compressed carbon dioxide or nitrogen to launch small capsules of paint. A typical tank has a volume of 508 cubic centimeters. A 340.-gram sample of carbon dioxide is added to the tank before it is used for paintball. At 20.°C, this tank contains both CO₂(g) and CO₂(ℓ). After a paintball game, the tank contains only CO₂(g).

In the box below, use the key to draw a particle diagram to represent the two phases of CO₂ in a newly filled tank. Your response must include at least six molecules of CO₂ in each phase.

Base your answers to questions 13 on the information below and on your knowledge of chemistry.

At standard pressure, water has unusual properties that are due to both its molecular structure and intermolecular forces. For example, although most liquids contract when they freeze, water expands, making ice less dense than liquid water. Water has a much higher boiling point than most other molecular compounds having a similar gram-formula mass.

In the late 1800s, Dmitri Mendeleev developed a periodic table of the elements known at that time. Based on the pattern in his periodic table, he was able to predict properties of some elements that had not yet been discovered. Information about two of these elements is shown in the table below.
