Explanation:
Lithium is an electropositive element that readily loses electrons.
Oxygen is electronegative and it will readily accept electrons.
Due to this significant electronegativity differences between the two species they form electrovalent or ionic bonds between them.
2atoms of Li lose two electrons:
Li → Li²⁺ + e⁻
Lithium isoelectronic with helium
For oxygen;
O + 2e⁻ → O²⁻
Oxygen is isoelectronic with Neon
Two ions of the lithium combines with the oxygen to form the bond;
4Li + O₂ → 2Li₂O
The electrostatic attraction between the two ions forms the ionic bond
Answer:
The reasons why the seemingly floating bubbles disappear was that they tend to loss their latent heat to the water molecules at the surface water.
Explanation:
Heat energy has a considerable effect on the velocity of molecules including water. The water molecules below the container will receive much more heat energy than those above it. This heat energy in the form of specific heat capacity and latent heat that result in the increase in the speed of individual molecules of water and finally to the escape of the molecules to a colder region of the container, in this case the upper region. At the collision of the bottom water to the surface water, they tend to exchange their heat content, the hotter molecules will lose their heat to the cold ones. When the formerly hot molecules encounter this, it will result in lowering the temperature and consequentially to the reduction of their movement, once in the form of bubble, now become ordinary water. This convectional transfer of heat energy will continue until the whole system has a uniform temperature depending on the consistency of the heat source.
During a phase change the temperature does not change since all of the heat is being absorbed in order to break the intermolecular forces. Due to that, the formula will not need to have T in it and is actually q=nΔH(v).
n=the number of moles (in this case 2.778mol of water since you divide 50g by 18g/mol).
ΔH(v)=the molar heat of vaporization (in this case 40.7kJ/mol).
q=the heat that must be absorbed
q=2.778mol×40.7kJ/mol
q=113.1kJ
Therefore the water needs to absorb 1.13×10²kJ.
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
