How does the structure of water explain its high boiling point, high heat capacity, and high heat of vaporization?

7 0

Water's high heat capacity is a property caused by hydrogen bonding among water molecules. When heat is absorbed, hydrogen bonds are broken and water molecules can move freely. When the temperature of water decreases, the hydrogen bonds are formed and release a considerable amount of energy.
Water's heat of vaporization is around 540 cal/g at 100 °C, water's boiling point.

Answer : The mass of nitric acid is, 214.234 grams.

Solution : Given,

Moles of nitric acid = 3.4 moles

Molar mass of nitric acid = 63.01 g/mole

Formula used :

$\text{Mass of }HNO_3=\text{Moles of }HNO_3\times \text{Molar mass of }HNO_3$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the mass of nitric acid.

$\text{Mass of }HNO_3=(3.4moles)\times (63..01g/mole)=214.234g$

Therefore, the mass of nitric acid is, 214.234 grams.

Will fluorine form an anion or a cation? Why?

Serggg [28]

Fluorine will always form an anion. That is because at its basic form, it is electronegative, which means that it attracts electrons who give it a negative charge. This is why it will form an anion.
