Water has this unusual behavior when cooled at <span>4 degrees Celsius; it expands slightly until it reaches the freezing point and continue to expand by approximately 9%. This characteristic has something to do with the structure of the water molecule where there is a strong tendency to form a network of hydrogen bonds and each hydrogen atom is in a line between two oxygen atoms. These bonds force the crystalline structure to be very open into hexagonal form and expand dramatically.

Answer:

In the case of water, that is, when the liquid water gets cooled, it gets contract to a temperature of about 4 degrees is attained. However, after that, it starts to expand somewhat till it moves towards the freezing point, and eventually when it freezes, it expands by about 9 percent.  

This characteristic has its source in the composition of the water molecule. In water, there possesses a capacity to produce a network of hydrogen bonds, where each atom of hydrogen is in a line amongst the two atoms of oxygen. This tendency of hydrogen bonding gets robust as the temperature lowers down. The formed ice structure is completely hydrogen-bonded and these bonds permit the structure to get open, thus, expansion takes place.

Convert 7.50 grams of glucose C6H12O6 to moles
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The number of mole is 0.04167mole

Explanation:

To convert gram to mole, we need to calculate the molecular weight of the compound

C6H12O6

C - 12

H - 1

O - 16

Molecular weight = 6 * 12 + 1 *12 + 6 * 16

= 72 + 12 + 96

= 180g/mol

To covert gram to mole

Therefore,

= 7.50g/ 180g/mol

= 0.04167 mole of glucose

The mass of 0.10 mole of methane
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

A methane molecule is made from one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms. Carbon has a mass of 12.011 u and hydrogen has a mass of 1.008 u. This means that the mass of one methane molecule is 12.011 u + (4 × 1.008u), or 16.043 u. This means that one mole of methane has a mass of 16.043 grams.

メタン分子は、1つの炭素原子と4つの水素原子から作られています。炭素の質量は12.011uで、水素の質量は1.008uです。これは、1つのメタン分子の質量が12.011 u +(4×1.008u)、つまり16.043uであることを意味します。これは、1モルのメタンの質量が16.043グラムであることを意味します。^>^
