Answer:
Water molecules in the solid state, such as in ice and snow, form weak bonds (called hydrogen bonds) to one another. These ordered arrangements result in the basic symmetrical, hexagonal shape of the snowflake.
Explanation:
Answer:
Yes, actually it is a compound.
Explanation:
There are important differences between the properties of a mixture and a compound. In this table, the column Mixture refers to the gasses hydrogen and oxygen, and the column named Compound refers to water.
Answer:
0.576M and 0.655m
Explanation:
<em>...Dissolves 15.0g of styrene (C₈H₈) in 250.mL of a solvent with a density of 0.88g/mL...</em>
<em />
Molarity is defined as moles of solute (Styrene in this case) per liter of solution whereas molality is the moles of solute per kg of solvent. Thus, we need to find the moles of styrene, the volume in liters of the solution and the mass in kg of the solvent as follows:
<em>Moles styrene:</em>
Molar mass C₈H₈:
8C = 12.01g/mol*8 = 96.08g/mol
8H = 1.005g/mol* 8 = 8.04g/mol
96.08g/mol + 8.04g/mol = 104.12g/mol
Moles of 15.0g of styrene are:
15.0g * (1mol / 104.12g) = 0.144 moles of styrene
<em>Liters solution:</em>
250mL * (1L / 1000mL) = 0.250L
<em>kg solvent:</em>
250mL * (0.88g/mL) * (1kg / 1000g) = 0.220kg
Molarity is:
0.144 moles / 0.250L =
<h3>0.576M</h3>
Molality is:
0.144 moles / 0.220kg =
<h3>0.655m</h3>
Inert means that the substance did not have a tendency to react at all, while stable means that the substance has reached a chemical state in which it is not likely to react. Stability is easier to overcome than inertness.
