Answer:

Degree of intermolecular hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

The energy required to melt a solid substance and the temperature at which the solid melts depends on the structure of the solid crystal as also on the magnitude of the intermolecular forces present in the solid.

Ice is less dense than liquid water, there are spaces in the crystal structure of ice. Secondly, the magnitude of hydrogen bonding in ice is lower due to lower intermolecular interaction between the water molecules. Given the lower intermolecular interaction in ice, the heat of fusion is much lower since the intermolecular interactions are easier to break.

In liquid water, hydrogen bonding is much stronger and there is greater intermolecular interaction between the water molecules. It takes more energy to break down these intermolecular interactions, hence the high enthalpy of vaporization of liquid water.

1) If I have 4 moles of a gas at a pressure of 5.6 atm and a volume of 12 liters, what is the temperature?
sergey [27]

Answer:

204.8 K

Explanation:

We use the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

where R is the gas constant (0.082 L.atm/K.mol).

We have the following data:

n= 4 moles

P = 5.6 atm

V = 12 L

So, we introduce the data in the ideal gas equation to calculate the temperature (T):

T = PV/nR = (5.6 atm x 12 L)/(4 mol x 0.082 L.atm/K.mol) = 204.8 K ≅ -68 °C

What type of consumer are bears?
sashaice [31]
Bears are omnivores (and scavengers), meaning they eat both plants and animals.
it can be both a primary consumer (if it eats plants) and secondary & tertiary consumers (if it eats a plant-eating animal). so it depends on what it eats.

Which yields H+(aq) as the only positive ion in an aqueous solution?(1) CH3CHO (2) CH3CH2OH (3) CH3COOH (4) CH3OCH3
Arte-miy333 [17]
If H+ would have to dissociate from a substance and must be the only positive ion in the solution that substance must be an acid.
CH3CHO is an aldehyde called acetaldehyde. 
CH3CH2OH is an alcohol called ethanol 
CH3OCH3 is an ether called dimethyl ether. 
and finally, the answer CH3COOH is a weak acid called acetic acid.

A helium-filled weather balloon has a volume of 512 L at 18.9°C and 756 mmHg. It is released and rises to an altitude of 2.14 km
vazorg [7]

633.97 L

Explanation:

Well use the combined gas law;

P₁V₁T₁ = P₂V₂T₂

We need to change the temperatures into Kelvin;

18.9°C= 292.05 K

5.9°C = 279.05 K

756 * 512 * 292.05 = 639 * V₂ * 279.05

113,044,377.6 = 178,312.95 V₂

V₂ = 113,044,377.6 / 178,312.95

V₂ = 633.97 L
