What must break in order for water to change from solid to liquid to gas?

When changing states, only the intermolecular forces are considered, which, in water's case are hydrogen bonds. In order to go from solid to liquid to gas, the hydrogen bonds between the water molecules must be weakened to a certain degree that allows the molecules to spread further apart in liquids, and must be broken altogether to separate the molecules in order to turn it into gas.
Therefore, the answer is d.

The reason it is not the covalent bonds within molecules (despite the fact that it will turn water into a gas, it’s not water vapour, but hydrogen and oxygen gas) is that when bonds within a molecule are broken, this is called decomposition and it is a CHEMICAL change. Changing states is only a PHYSICAL change.
It is not ionic because water has covalent bonds.
Hydrogen bonds can only occur BETWEEN molecules (intermolecular forces).
Covalent bonds can only occur WITHIN molecules (intramolecular).

Given the reaction _K(s) +_ Cl2(g) → _KCl(s) what is the amount of K, in grams, needed to completely react with 2 moles of Cl2(g
damaskus [11]

Answer:

156.4g K

Explanation:

I'm not sure if it is correct but I think it should be this

What do we know so far?: 2K + 1Cl2 -> 2KCl, 2 mol of Cl2

What are we looking for?: #g of K

What is the ratio of K to Cl2?: 2:1

Set up equation: 2molCl2 x \frac{2mol K}{1 mol Cl2}

Cancel unwanted units: 2 x \frac{2mol K}{1}

Answer we got: 2 x 2mol K = 4mol K

Converting moles to grams: 4 x 39.1 (molar mass of K) = 156.4g K
