Answer:

An insect would have an easier time walking on the surface of water than on the surface of ethanol.

Water’s stronger intermolecular forces lead to higher surface tension.

Higher surface tension allows water to support the insect.

Endothermic reactions, on the other hand, absorb heat and/or light from their surroundings. For example, decomposition reactions are usually endothermic. In endothermic reactions, the products have more enthalpy than the reactants. Thus, an endothermic reaction is said to have a positive<span> enthalpy of reaction. This means that the energy required to break the bonds in the reactants is more than the energy released when new bonds form in the products; in other words, the reaction requires energy to proceed</span>

Which of the following pairs of elements can combine to form an ionic compound?
Luda [366]

Answer:

D.) magnesium and sulphur​

Explanation:

Generally, ionic bonds form between a metal and a nonmetal.

Generally, covalent bonds form between two nonmetals.

Generally, metallic bonds form between two metals.

Nonmetals are located on the right side of the periodic table (apart from the noble gases in the final column). Hydrogen is also a nonmetal. Metals are every other element in the periodic table.

A.) Hydrogen (nonmetal) and carbon (nonmetal) = covalent

B.) Aluminum (metal) and magnesium (metal) = metallic

C.) Silicon (nonmetal) and chlorine (nonmetal) = covalent

D.) Magnesium (metal) and sulphur (nonmetal) = ionic

Ethanoic acid and 1-butanol can react to produce water and a compound classified as an 1) aldehyde 2) amine 3) ester 4) halide
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

3) ester

Explanation:

Esterification is the process in which alkanol and alkanoic acids reacts in the presence of a catalyst and heat. The product is usually an ester(alkanoate) and water.

For the reaction between ethanoic acid and 1-butanol, the product is butylethanoate and water as shown below:

               CH₃COOH + C₄H₈OH → CH₃COOC₄H₈ + H₂O
