Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A hydrogen bond is defined as a weak bond that is formed between an electropositive atom (generally hydrogen atom) and an electronegative atom like oxygen, nitrogen and fluorine.

An ionic bond is defined as a bond formed between a metal and a non-metal and in this bond transfer of electron takes place from metal to non-metal. And, due to the presence of opposite charges on the combining atoms there exists a strong force of attraction.

Vander waal forces are defined as the weak electric forces which tend to attract neutral molecules towards each other in gases, liquefied and solidified gases.

Vander waal forces are very weak forces.

Thus, we can conclude that Van der walas interactions are weak interactions would require the least amount of energy to disrupt.

Answer:

Van der waals force

Explanation:

Van der waals force is the weakest and would require less energy to disperse. It’s also known as London forces and mostly found with the halogen groups which undergoes sublimation( solid-gas) change. This force is responsible for this feature.They are usually easily dispersed hence it can also be called dispersion forces

If 1.00 g of a hydrocarbon is combusted and found to produce 3.14 g of co2, what is the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon?

photoshop1234 [79]

The combustion reaction is as expressed,

CxHy + O2 --> CO2 + H2O

The mass fraction of carbon in CO2 is 3/11. Hence,
mass of C in CO2 = (3.14 g)(3/11) = 0.86 g C.

Given that we have 1 g of the hydrocarbon, the mass of H is equal to 0.14 g.

moles of C = 0.86 g C / 12 g = 0.0713
moles of H = 0.14 g H / 1 g = 0.14

The empirical formula for the hydrocarbon is therefore, CH₂.

In an energy diagram, the reactants are at a higher potential energy compared to the products. Which of the following best descr

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer is (D) - It is exothermic and will have a negative enthalpy.

If the reactants are at a higher potential energy compared to the products, it means reactants have more energy than the products. That energy is released to the environment as heat. Due to the releasing of heat to the surrounding, the reaction is exothermic. Since the reaction is exothermic; the enthalpy of the reaction will be negative value.
