Consider the amount of energy needed to brake the bonds.

In c=o there are both a pi-bond and a sigma bond. Therefore it requires a higher energy to brake it. When considering the c-o bond there is only a single sigma bond is needed to be broken. Therefore braking is easier.

When something is easily broken they are having a weak attraction. When they harder to break they are having a stronger attraction.

Here weak attraction is having a lower energy while stronger attraction has higher energy.

Therefore c=o provides a high energy than c-o

Answer:

The option which is true to the knowledge is second option. 

Explanation:

The second option tells us that the attraction between the molecules is weak and movement of particles is less. Hence it makes the state x to be liquid because in case of liquid above the given fact is true to the knowledge.

While the other options are contradicting in nature for example if it is a solid that reaction will be strong and the movement will be very weak. And in case of gas that reaction will be very weak and movement will be very strong.

Determine which law is appropriate for solving the following problem. Carbon dioxide is in a steel tank at 20°C, 10 liters and 1

patriot [66]

Answer:

Law used: Combined Gas Law

Explanation:

We are given the following problem:

Carbon dioxide is in a steel tank at 20°C, 10 liters and 1 atm. What is the pressure on the gas when the tank is heated to 100°C?

To solve this, the most appropriate law that can be used it Combined Gas Law, which is the result of combining the Boyle's law, Charles' law, and Gay-Lussac's law together.

The combustion of 1 mole of CO according to the reaction CO(g) + ½O2(g) → CO2(g) + 67.6 kcal gives off how much heat?

tekilochka [14]

Combustion usually occurs when a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Combustion reactions are almost always exothermic CO(g) + ½O2(g) → CO2(g) + 67.6 kcal
base from the reaction, the stoichiometric ratio is 1 mole CO produce 67.6 kcal so the anwer is - 67.6 kcal because is it exothermic
