<h2>The required "option is b) hydrogen bonds must be broken to raise its temperature.</h2>
Explanation:
- Water has high specific heat due to hydrogen bonds present in it.
- The Ionisation of water does not affect the specific heat of the water.
- On decreasing the temperature, there is the formation of bonds hence option (d) is wrong.
- On increasing the temperature, there is the breaking of bonds hence option (b) is correct.
The energy transformations are similar because they result into radiant energy.
As for the lamp, Electrical energy is transformed into light when the filament
or mercury vapor glows on passage of current.
The fire- chemical energy is turned to light energy during the combustion of carbon. Both products comprise of ultraviolet radiation which is a form of radiant energy.
Answer and Explanation:
For the following balanced reaction:
PCl₅(g) ↔ PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g)
We can see that all reactants and products are gases, so it is an homogeneous equilibrium. The expression for the equilibrium constant Kp can be written from the partial pressures (P) of reactants and products as follows:
Where PPCl₃ is the partial pressure of PCl₃ (reactant), PCl₂ is the partial pressure of Cl₂ (reactant) and PPCl₅ is the partial pressure of PCl₅ (product).
