Carboxylic acids and alcohols have higher boiling point
than other hydrocarbons due to their polarity and from the fact that they form
very strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding. This is due to the large
difference in their electronegativity that forms between the oxygen and the
hydrogen atom.
In chemistry, the letter "H" represents the enthalpy of a system. Enthalpy refers to the sum of the internal energy of a system plus the product of the system's pressure and volume. The delta symbol is used to represent change. Therefore, delta H represents the change in enthalpy of a system in a reaction.
going down the the periodic table, the number of shells increases resulting in an obvious increase in the atomic radii of the elements
The first fact you should know to solve a stoichiometric problem like this one is that, there are 6.02 x 10^23 particles (atoms or molecules) in 1 mole of a substance.
Now, to know the equivalence factor, it is important to know a technique which cancels like units when they are placed diagonally. Hence, to find the moles Mg from atoms, the equivalence factor must have a numerator with units of moles and a denominator with units of atoms. In this case, atoms would be cancelled, leaving the moles.
