Hydrogen bonds form between neighboring water molecules because of:

1 answer:

4 0

*A & B*

Answers A & B are not possible, as Hydrogen “bonds” are intermolecular forces and do not actually involve transfer or sharing of electrons.

*C & D*

Viscosity and surface tension are not the answer as they are not specific enough to the question.

*E*

Polarity of water molecules is the correct answer, as water molecules are highly polar. The partial positive of the Hydrogen on one water molecule is highly attracted to the partial negative of the Oxygen (due to its lone pairs) on another water molecule.

C2H4(g) + H2(g) → C2H6(g) ΔH = –137.5 kJ; ΔS = –120.5 J/K Calculate ΔG at 25 °C and determine whether the reaction is spontaneou

Katen [24]

Answer:-ΔG=-101.5KJ

Explanation:We have to calculate ΔG for the reaction so using the formula given in the equation we can calculate the \Delta G for the reaction.

We need to convert the unit ofΔS in terms of KJ/Kelvin as its value is given in terms of J/Kelvin

Also we need to convert the temperature in Kelvin as it is given in degree celsius.

$\Delta H=-137.5\\ \Delta S=-120J/K\\ \Delta S=-0.120KJ/K\\ T=25^{.C}\\ T=273+25=298 K\\ \Delta G=?\\ \Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S\\\Delta G=-137.5KJ-(278\times -0.120)\\ \Delta G=-137.5+35.76\\\Delta G=-101.74\\\Delta G=Negative$

After calculating forΔG we found that the value ofΔG is negative and its value is -101.74KJ

For a reaction to be spontaneous the value of \Delta G \ must be negative .

As the ΔG for the given reaction is is negative so the reaction will be spontaneous in nature.

In this reaction since the entropy of reaction is positive and hence when we increase the temperature term then the overall term TΔS would become more positive and hence the value of ΔG would be less negative .

Hence the value of ΔG would become more positive with the increase in temperature.

So we found the value of ΔG to be -101.74KJ

What is the resultant pressure if 1.7 mol of ideal gas at 273 K and 2.79 atm in a closed container of constant volume is heated

dedylja [7]

Answer: The resultant pressure is 3.22 atm

Explanation:

Gay-Lussac's Law: This law states that pressure is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume and number of moles.

$P\propto T$ (At constant volume and number of moles)
