Explain, in terms of intermolecular forces, why ammonia has a higher boiling point than the other compounds in the ta

Answer is: ammonia has a higher boiling point because it has stronger intermolecular forces.

Intermolecular forces<span> are the forces between </span><span>molecules. The stronger are intermolecular forces, the higher is boiling point of compound, because more energy is needed to break interaction between molecules.
</span>There are several types of intermolecular forces: hydrogen bonding, i<span>on-induced dipole forces, ion-dipole forces andvan der Waals forces.</span>

Classify the reaction by their type. Note there may be more than one way to classify a reaction.
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Redox reaction and single displacement

Explanation:

This reaction is first of all a redox reaction. A redox reaction is a reaction that involves both oxidation and reduction. Oxidation involves increase in oxidation number while reduction involves decrease in oxidation number.

Copper (Cu) had an oxidation number of "0" as a reactant but had an oxidation number of "2+" in the product [Cu(NO₃)₂] hence oxidation occurred.

Nitrogen (N) had an oxidation number of "5+" in the reactant (HNO₃) but had an oxidation number of "4+" in the product (NO₂) hence reduction also occurred.

Also, from the reaction, it can be deduced that copper (Cu) displaced hydrogen (H) from the nitric acid (HNO₃) solution to form copper (II) nitrate [Cu(NO₃)₂]. It should be noted that copper can displace hydrogen because it is higher than hydrogen in the electrochemical series. Hence, this reaction can also be called a single displacement reaction. A single displacement reaction is a reaction in which an atom of an element replaces another atom in a compound (as seen in the equation given in the question).

The discipline of chemistry has made agricultural chemicals, such as fertilizer and pesticides, available to society.
dlinn [17]
Well, you can't use this word for word, but a good answer would be something like:
Pesticides release harmful chemicals into the air, not only making it toxic and unsafe for us, but it also has the potential to kill off insects. This affects the ecosystem as well, as it reduces the available food source for larger animals such as birds, which in turn, affect another species.

If one of the reactants in a reaction is Na2O, what is known about the products? A.There is not enough information to say anythi
NISA [10]

D.The products will have at least 2 Na atoms and 1 O atom.

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Conservation of mass states that  

<em>In a closed system, the masses before and after the reaction are the same </em>

So it can be concluded

  • mass of the reactants = mass of the products
  • mass cannot be created or destroyed
  • The number of atoms involved in a reaction remains the same⇒ number of moles also the same
  • chemical equation in balanced form

So the number of atoms in reactants and products remains the same

Because one of the reactants in a reaction is Na₂O, so <em>The products will have at least 2 Na atoms and 1 O atom.</em>

What would happen if a hot piece of iron were placed in a bucket of water at room temperature? How do you know?
BaLLatris [955]

Answer: Eventually, the metal will cool down and warm up. Overtime the metal and the water will come to the same temperature. This happens because the hot metal is giving energy to the water.

Explanation:This process is called thermal equilibrium. It's the same thing as when you put a spoon in hot tea the spoon gets hot and the tea cools down. Hope this helps!!
