Explanation:

There will be an increase in the inter-molecular forces of attraction when there is an increase with the size of molecules/atoms because there will be an increase in the number of individual electrons that each molecule /atom will possess, hence, increasing the dipole-dipole attraction between the molecules/atoms.

Hiii pls help me to write out the ionic equation

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

STEP I

This is the balanced equation for the given reaction:-

$2KOH_{(aq)} + H_2SO_4{}_{(aq)} \rightarrow K_2SO_4{}_{(aq)} + 2H_2O_{(l)}$

STEP II

The compounds marked with (aq) are soluble ionic compounds. They must be

broken into their respective ions.

see, in the equation KOH, H2SO4, and K2SO4 are marked with (aq).

On breaking them into their respective ions :-

2KOH -> 2K+ + 2OH-
H2SO4 -> 2H+ + (SO4)2-
K2SO4 -> 2K+ + (SO4)2-

STEP III

Rewriting these in the form of equation

$\underline{\pmb{2K^+} }+ 2OH^- + 2H^+ + \pmb{\underline{{SO_4{}^{2-}}} \: \rightarrow \: \underline{\pmb{2K^+}}} + \underline{\pmb{SO_4{}^{2-}}} + 2H_2O$

STEP IV

Canceling spectator ions, the ions that appear the same on either side of the equation

(note: in the above step the ions in bold have gotten canceled.)

$\boxed{ \mathfrak{ \red{ 2OH^-{}_{(aq)} + 2H^+{(aq.)} \rightarrow H_2O{}_{(l)}}}}$

This is the net ionic equation.

$\mathfrak{\underline{\green{ Why\: KOH \:has\: been\: taken\: as\: aqueous ?}}}$

KOH has been taken as aqueous because the question informs us that we have a solution of KOH. by solution it means that KOH has been dissolved in water before use.

Answer:

Answer: II and IV

Explanation: Flammability and the ability to rust are chemical properties because they change an object. I, III, and V are physical properties because it doesn't change the object's composition. This includes weight, the change in matter (solid to liquid), or change in volume.
