II. Binding Forces A. Write a brief, one or two sentence, description of each binding force listed below. 1. London dispersion f
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

All description is given in explanation.

Explanation:

Van der Waals forces:

It is the general term used to describe the attraction or repulsion between the molecules. Vander waals force consist of two types of forces:

1.  London dispersion forces

2.  Dipole-dipole forces

1. London dispersion forces:

These are the weakest intermolecular forces. These are the temporary because when the electrons of atoms come close together they create temporary dipole, one end of an atom where the electronic density is high is create negative pole while the other becomes positive . These forces are also called induce dipole- induce dipole interaction.

2.  Dipole-dipole forces:

These are attractive forces , present between the molecules that are permanently polar. They are present between the positive end of one polar molecules and the negative end of the other polar molecule.

Hydrogen bonding:

It is the electrostatic attraction present between the atoms which are chemically bonded. The one atom is hydrogen while the other electronegative atoms are oxygen, nitrogen or flourine. This is weaker than covalent and ionic bond.

Ionic bond or electrostatic attraction:

It is the electrostatic attraction present between the oppositely charged ions. This is formed when an atom loses its electron and create positive charge and other atom accept its electron and create negative charge.

Hydrophobic interaction:

It is the interaction between the water and hydrophobic material. The hydrophobic materials are long chain carbon containing compound. These or insoluble in water.

Covalent bond:

These compounds are formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms of same elements are between the different element's atoms. The covalent bond is less stronger than ionic bond so require less energy to break as compared to the energy require to break the ionic bond.

A 40.27 g sample of a substance is initially at 24.8 °c. after absorbing 2099 j of heat, the temperature of the substance is 148
Darina [25.2K]
Q = mCΔT
Q is heat in joules, m is mass, C is specific heat, and delta T is change in temp

2099 J = (40.27g)(C)(148.5 - 24.8) = .421 J / gram K

Commercial concentrated aqueous ammonia is 28% nh3 by mass and has a density of 0.90 g/ml. what is the concentration of ammonia
patriot [66]

Answer:- 14.9 M

Solution:- Given commercial sample of ammonia is 28% by mass. Let's say we have 100 grams of the sample. Then mass of ammonia would be 28 grams.

Density of the solution is given as 0.90 grams per mL.

From the mass and density we could calculate the volume of the solution as:

100g(\frac{1mL}{0.90g})

= 111 mL

Let's convert the volume from mL to L as molarity is moles of solute per liter of solution.

111mL(\frac{1L}{1000mL})  

= 0.111 L

Now, we convert grams of ammonia to moles on dividing the grams by molar mass. Molar mass of ammonia is 17 gram per mole.

28g(\frac{1mole}{17g})

= 1.65 mole

To calculate the molarity we divide the moles of ammonia by the liters of solution:

molarity=\frac{1.65mole}{0.111L}

= 14.9 M

So, the molarity of the given commercial sample of ammonia is 14.9 M.

What makes up the human body? (A)many different gases (B)carbon dioxide (D)many cells (C) minerals
never [62]

Answer:

<em></em>(B) Carbon Dioxide<em></em>

Explanation:

Roughly 96 percent of the mass of the human body is made up of just four elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen, with a lot of that in the form of water. The remaining 4 percent is a sparse sampling of the periodic table of elements

Hope this helps :)
