What would be the predominant state of matter if there were no intermolecular forces?

1 answer:

4 0

Stronger Intermolecular forces (greater attractions) hold molecules together better. Meaning the molecules don't want to leave whatever liquid they are part of. for example, chloroform(the knock out gas), which has only weak intermolecular forces evaporates very quickly at room temp. However, water which participates in H-bonding, strong intermolecular forces, evaporates slowly at room temp. The colder a liquid is, the harder it is for the molecules to overcome their intermolecular bonds and break free. a.k.a. slow evaporation. but when a liquid is heated the molecules have enough energy to overcome their brotherly bonds and go into the gas phase.

Scenes A and B depict changes in matter at the atomic scale:

kaheart [24]

Scene B depicts chemical change in matter at atomic change.

Composition distinguishes a chemical reaction from a physical reaction. In a chemical process, the makeup of the components changes; in a physical change, the appearance, smell, or straightforward exhibition of a sample of matter changes without changing its composition. Despite the fact that we refer to them as physical "reactions," nothing is actually changing. A change in the substance in question's elemental composition is necessary for a reaction to occur. Therefore, from now on, we will simply refer to bodily "reactions" as physical changes.

Balance the following oxidation-reduction reactions, which take place in acidic solution, by using the "half-reaction" method.

LuckyWell [14K]

First identify which is being oxidized and reduced. In this case, the Mg is being oxidized and the Hg is being reduced.

Mg --> Mg+2

Hg+2 --> Hg+1

Then you have to balance each half reaction first with electrons before adding them together in one equation

$Mg$ ⇒ $Mg^{+2} + 2e^{-1}$

and

$2Hg^{+2} + 2e^{-1}$ ⇒ $Hg_{2} ^{+2}$

and then combine them together to form

$Mg + 2 Hg^{+2} + 2e$ ⇒ $Mg^{+2} + 2e ^{-} + 2 Hg^{+1} + 2 e^{-}$

It isn't necessary to keep the electrons but its essential to know how many there are in order to know how many are in the equation in order to calculate the reaction energy. Note: Add H+ and H2O to balance the H's and O's in acidic solution if needed.
