The molecular structure of water contains two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. When water reaches its boiling point and

turns into water vapor, what happens to its molecular structure?

Explanation:

Completing the statements:

Water's boiling point would have been close to -70°C. Ice would sink in water. Water would release little heat to warm land during the winter. Ice is less dense than water because of the hydrogen bonding that forms a hexagonal structure in water.

The unique property of water is as a result of its hydrogen bonding. Water is a polar covalent compound. Like most covalent compound, water would have naturally had a very low boiling point.

The intermolecular forces all hydrogen bonding gives water its unique nature.

Hydrogen bond is formed by an attraction between hydrogen one water water molecule and more electronegative atom on another molecule usually oxygen, nitrogen and fluorine.

They form very strong intermolecular interaction responsible for the behavior of water.

The higher specific heat capacity of water is due to this bond. It absorbs a lot of heat and does not release them on time. This causes water release heat during winter.

Water has a hexagonal shape or structure linking each molecules.

Hiii pls help me to write out the ionic equation

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

<u>STEP I</u>

This is the balanced equation for the given reaction:-

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

<u>STEP II</u>

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-

<u>STEP III</u>

Rewriting these in the form of equation

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

<u>STEP </u><u>IV</u>

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

<em>(note: in the above step the ions in bold have gotten canceled.)</em>

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

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.

Two chemical reactions that you should be familiar with are photosynthesis and respiration. In photosynthesis, the energy of the

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Photosynthesis is endothermic while respiration is exothermic reaction.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis:

It is the process in which in the presence of sun light and chlorophyll by using carbon dioxide and water plants produce the oxygen and glucose.

Carbon dioxide + water + energy → glucose + oxygen

water is supplied through the roots, carbon dioxide collected through stomata and sun light is capture by chloroplast.

Chemical equation:

6H₂O + 6CO₂ + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Aerobic respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

Anaerobic Respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.

Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide
