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

Which of the answer choices correctly describes Le Châtlier's principle?
almond37 [142]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

A. When a reaction is at chemical equilibrium, a change in the system will cause the system to shift in the direction that will balance the change and help the reaction regain chemical equilibrium.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Le Chatelier's principle states that when a change or a "stress" is placed on a system that is at equilibrium, the system will shift in such a way to relieve that change or stress.
  • The stresses include; changing the concentration of reactants or products, altering the temperature in the system and changing the pressure of the system.
  • Therefore; <u><em>when a chemical reaction is at equilibrium and experiences a change in pressure, temperature, or concentration of products or reactants, the equilibrium shifts in the opposite direction to offset the change. </em></u>

What volume of chlorine gas (Cl2), measured at STP, can be produced by the decomposition of 73.0g of hydrogen chloride gas (HCl)
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Explanation:

2HCl    =   H₂   +   Cl₂

2 mole     1 mole      1 mole

73 gram HCl = 73 / 36.5 = 2 mole of HCl

2 moles of HCl will produce 1 mole of chlorine gas .

At STP , one mole of chlorine gas has volume equal to 22.4 litre .

A block of ice has a weight of 35
Alex17521 [72]
It would be 35g because you can break the ice chunk into as many pieces as you want when you combine them back together you'll always get the same weight
