Elaborate the reason that the heat of vaporization of water is so much greater than its heat of fusion. A) The potential energy

of fusion represents a greater change of stored energy. B) Liquid water is stabilized by strong intermolecular forces between the molecules. C) The kinetic energy of the water molecules is so much greater in the liquid state. D) The bonding forces for solid water are much stronger than the bonding in the liquid.

I believe the answer is B. Liquid water is stabilized by strong inter-molecular forces between the molecules. This is why the energy needed to completely  separate the molecules converting to gas is much greater than that of converting a solid into liquid. The latent heat of vaporization will have to be higher for the liquid to become a gas.

In order to reduce the exposure to organic solvents like turpentine, some art instructors recommend the students clean brushes a
kykrilka [37]
Generally speaking, organic molecules tend to dissolve in solvents that have similar physical properties. A good rule of thumb is that "like dissolves like". Meaning, polar compounds can dissolve polar compounds and nonpolar compounds can dissolve nonpolar compounds.

To apply this to the current problem, we are told that the brushes are being cleaned with vegetable oil or mineral oil. In this case, the oils are used as solvents. In order for these solvents to be effective, the compounds they are trying to dissolve must be similar in structure and properties to other oils. Therefore, vegetable oil or mineral oil will be most effective in removing oil-based paints, as these will have the similar properties needed to dissolve in the oil solvents.

Consider the following reaction.
Ivan

Answer:

162 g Fe₂O₃

Explanation:

To find the mass of Fe₂O₃, you need to (1) convert grams C to moles C (via molar mass from periodic table), then (2) convert moles C to moles Fe₂O₃ (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients), and then (3) convert moles Fe₂O₃ to grams (via molar mass). It is important to arrange the ratios/conversions in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 3 sig figs to reflect the given value.

Molar Mass (C): 12.011 g/mol

2 Fe₂O₃(s) + 3 C(s) ---> 4 Fe(s) + 3 CO₂(g)

Molar Mass (Fe₂O₃): 2(55.845 g/mol) + 3(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (Fe₂O₃): 159.684 g/mol

18.3 g C           1 mole            2 moles Fe₂O₃          159.684 g
--------------  x  ----------------  x  -------------------------  x  -----------------  = 162 g Fe₂O₃
                        12.011 g              3 moles C                 1 mole

If Jerome is swinging on a rope and transferring energy from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy, _____... is being
Pachacha [2.7K]

<u>Answer;</u>

-Work

If Jerome is swinging on a rope and transferring energy from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy, <u>work </u> is being done.

<u>Explanation;</u>

  • Work refers to the application of a given force over a distance. Thus, we can say work is the product of force and distance.
  • Energy on the other hand is the ability of a body to change, its location, shape, or state of another body.
  • According to the work-Energy principle, a change in the kinetic energy, which is the energy possessed by a body in motion, is equivalent to the net work done on the body.

What compound was formed by the reaction of the first oxygen released by cyanobacteria and iron?
castortr0y [4]
The compound that was formed by the reaction of the first oxygen released by Cyanobacteria and iron are the metals of the earths crust. Cyanobacteria was the first organisms that used water instead of hydrogen sulfide or other compounds as a source of electrons and hydrogen for fixing carbon dioxide. Early Cyanobacteria inhabited marine sediments where Archean banded iron formations were deposited; consisting of reddish layers rich in iron oxide.
