Explain how hydrogen bonding contributes to water's high heat of vaporization

Chemistry

The heat/enthalpy of vaporization of water represents the energy input required to convert one mole of water into vapor at a constant temperature. Intermolecular forces including hydrogen bondings of significant strength hold water molecules in place under its liquid state. Whereas the molecules experience almost no intermolecular interactions under the gaseous state- consider the way noble gases molecules interact. It is thus necessary to supply sufficient energy to overcome all intermolecular interactions present in the substance under its liquid state to convert the substance into a gas. The heat of vaporization is thus related to the strength of the intermolecular interactions.

Water molecules contain hydrogen atoms bonded directly to oxygen atoms. Oxygen atoms are highly electronegative and take major control of electrons in hydrogen-oxygen bonds. Hydrogen atoms in water molecules thus experience a strong partial-positive charge and would attract lone pairs of electron on neighboring water molecules. "Hydrogen bonds" refer to the attraction between hydrogen atoms bonded to electronegative elements and lone pairs of electrons. The hydrogen-oxygen bonds in water molecules are so polarized that hydrogen bonds in water are stronger than both dipole-dipole interactions and London Dispersion Forces in most other molecules. It thus take high amounts of energy to separate water molecules sufficiently apart such that they no longer experience intermolecular interactions and behave collectively like a gas. As a result, water has one of the highest heat of vaporization among covalent molecules of similar sizes.

1) Evaporization is phase change process in which the water changes from a liquid to a gas (water vapor). Solar radiation is the source of energy for evaporation.

2) Condensation is phase change process in which the water changes from a gas to a liquid, the vapor becomes a cloud.

3) Precipitation is falling of the condensed water vapor as rain, snow, fog drip.

The water cycle (hydrological cycle) is the continuous movement of water all around the Earth.

Cu(s) + 4 HNO3 (aq) --> Cu(NO3)2 (aq) + 2NO2 (g) + 2H2O(l)
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The percent by mass of copper in the mixture was 32%

Explanation:

The ammount of HNO₃ used is:

mol HNO₃ = volume * concentration

mol HNO₃ = 0.015 l * 15.8 mol/l

mol HNO₃ = 0.237 mol

According to the reaction, 4 mol HNO₃ will react with 1 mol Cu and produce 1 mol Cu²⁺. Since we have 0.237 mol HNO₃, the amount of Cu that could react would be (0.237 mol HNO₃ * 1 mol Cu / 4 mol HNO₃) 0.06 mol. This reaction would produce 0.060 mol Cu²⁺, however, only 0.010 mol Cu²⁺ were obtained, indicating that only 0.010 mol Cu were present in the mixture. This means that the acid was in excess, so we can assume that all copper present in the mixture has reacted.

Since 0.010 mol of Cu²⁺ were produced, the amount of Cu was 0.01 mol.

1 mol of Cu has a mass of 63.5 g, then 0.01 mol has a mass of:

0.01 mol Cu * 63.5 g / 1 mol = 0.635 g.

Since this amount was present in 2.00 g mixture, the amount of copper in 100 g of the mixture will be:

100 g(mixture) * 0.635 g Cu / 2 g(mixture) = 32 g

Then, the percent by mass of Cu (which is the mass of Cu in 100 g mixture) is 32%
