A law is statement about an observed concept. A theory involves the explanation of scientific concepts or principles. A hypothesis is the predicted explanation about some concepts that has to be tested in order to prove it to be right. An observation is the observing the results of a scientific experiment carried out to test an hypothesis.

Here the given statement 'A chemist mixes sodium with water and witnesses a violent reaction between the metal and water,' can be classified as an observation as it explains what the chemists observes as a result of his chemical experiment or test..

What is the pH of a 5.09 x 10-5 M solution of NaOH?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

<u>Answer:</u> The pH of the solution is 9.71

<u>Explanation:</u>

1 mole of NaOH produces 1 mole of sodium ions and 1 mole of hydroxide ions.

We are given:

pOH of the solution = 7.2

To calculate the pH of the solution, we need to determine pOH of the solution. To calculate pOh of the solution, we use the equation:

pOH=-\log[OH^-]

We are given:

[OH^-]=5.09\times 10^{-5}M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

pOH=-\log(5.09\times 10^{-5})\\\\pOH=4.29

To calculate pH of the solution, we use the equation:

pH+pOH=14\\pH=14-4.29=9.71

Hence, the pH of the solution is 9.71

Explain how hydrogen bonding contributes to water's high heat of vaporization
pashok25 [27]

The heat/enthalpy of vaporization of water represents the energy input required to convert one mole of water into vapor at a constant temperature. Intermolecular forces including hydrogen bondings of significant strength hold water molecules in place under its liquid state. Whereas the molecules experience almost no intermolecular interactions under the gaseous state- consider the way noble gases molecules interact. It is thus necessary to supply sufficient energy to overcome all intermolecular interactions present in the substance under its liquid state to convert the substance into a gas. The heat of vaporization is thus related to the strength of the intermolecular interactions.

Water molecules contain hydrogen atoms bonded directly to oxygen atoms. Oxygen atoms are highly electronegative and take major control of electrons in hydrogen-oxygen bonds. Hydrogen atoms in water molecules thus experience a strong partial-positive charge and would attract lone pairs of electron on neighboring water molecules. "Hydrogen bonds" refer to the attraction between hydrogen atoms bonded to electronegative elements and lone pairs of electrons. The hydrogen-oxygen bonds in water molecules are so polarized that hydrogen bonds in water are stronger than both dipole-dipole interactions and London Dispersion Forces in most other molecules. It thus take high amounts of energy to separate water molecules sufficiently apart such that they no longer experience intermolecular interactions and behave collectively like a gas. As a result, water has one of the highest heat of vaporization among covalent molecules of similar sizes.

Define a fluid very sort answer ​
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

A fluid is a medium that has a defined mass and volume, but no fixed shape, at a constant temperature and pressure. This may include gases, liquids, plasmas, and to some extent plastic solids. A fluid can flow and deform, preventing it from carrying loads in a static equilibrium.  A fluid is always compressible and internal frictional forces always occur due to the viscosity of the fluid.
