Answer: Correct options are as follows.
- salt is not chemically bonded to water.
- salt and water retain their own chemical properties.
Explanation:
When salt is dissolved in water then it means that it is a physical change as salt has completely dissociated into ions but they are not chemically combined to the water molecules.
As a result, both salt and water will retain their chemical properties.
For example, NaCl when dissolved in water will dissociate as follows.

Only the particles of salt have evenly distributed in water.
And, when a components of a salt chemically combine with another substance then it will form a new compound.
Therefore, we can conclude that salt dissolved in water is a solution, therefore:
- salt is not chemically bonded to water.
- salt and water retain their own chemical properties.
Answer: C2H2
Explanation: Because each of the lines represent one bond, and because there are three lines (bonds) between the carbons, it means that they are bonded by three bonds, also known as a triple bond.
<span>We can use the heat
equation,
Q = mcΔT </span>
<span>Where Q is
the amount of energy transferred (J), m is the mass of the
substance (kg), c is the specific heat (J g</span>⁻¹ °C⁻<span>¹) and ΔT is the temperature
difference (°C).</span>
Density = mass / volume
The density of water = 0.997 g/mL
<span>Hence mass of 1.25 L (1250 mL) of water = 0.997 g/mL x 1250 mL</span>
<span> = 1246.25 g</span>
Specific heat capacity of water = 4.186 J<span>/ g °C.</span>
Let's assume that there is no heat loss to the surrounding and the final temperature is T.
By applying the equation,
5430 J = 1246.25 g x 4.186 J/ g °C x (T - 23) °C
(T - 23) °C = 5430 J / 1246.25 g x 4.186 J/ g °C
(T - 23) °C = 1.04 °C
T = 1.04 °C + 23 °C
T = 24.04 °C
Hence, the final temperature of the water is 24.04 °C.
