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.

How many grams of mgo are produced during an enthalpy change of -231 kj ?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

The reaction for the formation of MgO(s):

2 Mg (s) + O2(g) -à 2MgO(s)                     ΔH = -601.24 kJ/mol

<span>The enthalpy information is taken from: http://webbook.nist.gov/cgi/inchi?ID=C1309484&Mask=2</span>

From the equation and with an enthalpy change of -231 kJ:

-231 kJ * 2 mol Mg * (1/-601.24 kJ/mol) = 0.76841 mol Mg

Then, with the molar mass of MgO = 40.3,

0.76841 mol Mg *(2 mol MgO/2 mol Mg)* 40.3 g/mol MgO = <span>30.967 g MgO</span>

What is the relatioship between atomic numbers and ionic radii of the elements in Group 1? what is the relationship between atom
Sever21 [200]
As atomic number increases atomic radii also increase down group 1. ionisation energy down group 1 will also decrease because as atomic radii gets bigger there is less electrostatic force between nuclei and electrons so less energy needed to remove valence electron.
