Ion-dipole forces
H2O has hydrogen bonding, which is a form of dipole-dipole forces, and NO3- is an ion, so the intermolecular attraction is ion-dipole.
Ice floats after it crystallizes because ITS DENSITY IS LESS THAN THAT OF WATER.
When a quantity of water is cools down by reducing its temperature, the molecules of the water lose kinetic energy and slow down in their movement. As the water is cooling down, it is volume is expanding. When the temperature reaches zero degree Celsius, the water becomes ice. At this point, the ice can float on water because its density is less than that of water; this is as a result of the spaces that now exist in the ice structure.

Hello there!
Unfortunately, the question is not given in the question; however, it is possible for us to compute the equilibrium constant as the problem is providing the concentrations at equilibrium. Thus, we first set up the equilibrium expression as products/reactants:
![K=\frac{[NO_2]^2}{[NO]^2[O_2]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BNO_2%5D%5E2%7D%7B%5BNO%5D%5E2%5BO_2%5D%7D)
Then, we plug in the concentrations at equilibrium to obtain the equilibrium constant as follows:
In addition, we can infer this is a reaction that predominantly tends to the product (NO2) as K>>>>1.
Best regards!
Explanation:
Once solid ammonium nitrate interacts with water, the molecules of polar water intermingle with these ions and attract individual ions from the structure of the lattice, that actually will break down. E.g;-NH4NO3(s) — NH4+(aq)+ NO3-(aq) To split the ionic bonds that bind the lattice intact takes energy that is drained from the surroundings to cool the solution.
Some heat energy is produced once the ammonium and nitrate ions react with the water molecules (exothermic reaction), however this heat is far below that is needed by the H2O molecules to split the powerful ionic bonds in the solid ammonium nitrate.
Hence, we can say that the dissolution of ammonium nitrate in water is highly endothermic reaction.
