What happens to water molecules that form the ice on a road when temperatures rise and the ice begins to melt?a)As temperature i

ncreases, the water molecules begin to move farther apart as they lose kinetic energy and form a liquid.b)As temperature increases, the water molecules begin to move closer together as they gain kinetic energy and form a liquid.c)As temperature increases, the water molecules begin to move farther apart as they gain kinetic energy and form a liquid.

Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

Solid state : It is a state in which the particles are closely packed and does not have any space between them. They have least kinetic energy due to restricted movement. This state has a definite shape and volume.

Liquid state : It is a state in which the particles are present in random and irregular pattern. The particles are closely arranged but they can move from one place to another and thus have higher kinetic energy as compared to solids. This state has a definite volume but does not have a fixed shape.

Gaseous state : It is a state in which the particles are loosely arranged and have a lot of space between them. They have highest kinetic energy. This state has indefinite volume as well as shape.

So, when water molecules that forms ice melts it gains kinetic energy due to  increase in temperature by which they gain kinetic energy and starts moving away from each other converting their state from solid to liquid.

Which factor is generally responsible for high melting points?
vlabodo [156]

A. High intermolecular forces of attraction. If there are high intermolecular forces, the molecules will need large energies to escape into the liquid. The substance will nave a high melting point.

The other options are <em>incorrect </em>because they are <em>weak force</em>s. They would cause <em>low melting points</em>.

If 4.50 l of water vapor at 50.2 °c and 0.121 atm reacts with excess iron, how many grams of iron(iii) oxide will be produced?
Flura [38]
When the balanced equation for this reaction is:
2Fe + 3H2O → Fe2O3  +  3H2

and according to the vapour pressure formula:
PV= nRT
when we have P is the vapor pressure of H2O= 0.121 atm
and V is the volume of H2O = 4.5 L
and T in Kelvin = 52.5 +273 = 325.5 K
R= 0.08205 atm-L/g mol-K
So we can get n H2O
So, by substitution:
n H2O = PV/RT
            = (0.121*4.5)/(0.08205 * 325.5) = 0.02038 gmol
n Fe2O3 = 0.02038 * (1Fe2O3/ 3H2O) = 0.00679 gmol
Note: we get (1FeO3/3H2O) ratio from the balanced equation.
we can get the Mass of Fe2O3 from this formula:
Mass = number of moles * molecular weight       
  when we have a molecular weight of Fe2O3 = 159.7
          =  0.00679 * 159.7 = 1.084 g
∴ 1.084 gm of Fe2O3 will produced
