Answer:

(a) The molecules begin to move farther apart decreasing their intermolecular forces and they escape the liquid state to enter the gas state.

Explanation:

As we put tea pot full of water on stove the heat transfer starts from surface of tea pot to the closest water molecule near the surface of tea pot, after becoming hot the water rises up and cooler water comes down. When water begins to boil their intermolecular forces begin to decrease and they start to convert in gaseous or vapor state.

A sodium hydroxide solution is made by mixing 8.70 g NaOH with 100 g of water. The resulting solution has a density of 1.087 g/m

Ahat [919]

Answer:

Mass fraction = 0.08004

Mole fraction = 0.0377

Explanation:

Given, Mass of NaOH = 8.70 g

Mass of solution = 8.70 + 100 g = 108.70 g

$Mass\ fraction\ of\ NaOH=\frac {8.70}{108.70}$ = 0.08004

Molar mass of NaOH = 39.997 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{8.70\ g}{39.997\ g/mol}$

$Moles\ of\ NaOH= 0.2175\ mol$

Given, Mass of water = 100 g

Molar mass of water = 18.0153 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{100\ g}{18.0153\ g/mol}$

$Moles\ of\ water= 5.5508\ mol$

So, according to definition of mole fraction:

$Mole\ fraction\ of\ NaOH=\frac {n_{NaOH}}{n_{NaOH}+n_{water}}$

$Mole\ fraction\ of\ NaOH=\frac {0.2175}{0.2175+5.5508}=0.0377$

A solution is prepared by dissolving 8.75 grams of sodium chloride in enough volume of water to produce 112.0 grams of the NaCl

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer : The percent by mass of the solution is 7.81 %

Explanation : Given,

Mass of NaCl = 8.75 g

Mass of solution = 112.0 g

Now we have to determine the percent by mass of the solution.

$\text{Mass percent}=\frac{\text{Mass of NaCl}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 100$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Mass percent}=\frac{8.75g}{112.0g}\times 100=7.81\%$

Therefore, the percent by mass of the solution is 7.81 %

Which formed first: hydrogen nuclei or hydrogen atoms?

Mama L [17]

This sounds very much like a chicken-egg problem.

The first thing that formed must be hydrogen nuclei. The only other alternative is that the atom was created instantly, and the nuclei sprang forth at the same time as the atom, meaning that neither was technically first. The logic is that an atom can’t form without a nucleus, but it theoretically could be created instantly.
