Which of the following measurements is used to measure the enthalpy of combustion? A. None of these B. Measuring the change in t
1 answer:
Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
In a substance, the total energy of its molecular motion is known as heat. Whereas when we measure the average energy of molecular motion of a substance then it is known as temperature.
So, any increase or decrease in temperature will lead to change in heat of a substance.
When one mole of a substance is burned then the amount of energy released in the form of heat is known as heat of combustion.
Relation between heat and temperature is as follows.
q =
Thus, we can conclude that to measure the enthalpy of combustion it cannot be measured, only calculated using the equation; q = .

Answer:
Metallic bonding
Explanation:
Metals have low ionization energies. Therefore, their valence electrons are easily delocalized (attracted to the neighbouring metal atoms). These delocalized electrons are then not associated with a specific metal atom. Since the electrons are “free”, the metal atoms have become cations, and the electrons are free to move throughout the whole crystalline structure.
We say that a metal consists of an array of cations immersed in a sea of electrons .
The electrons act as a “glue” holding the cations together.
Metallic bonds are the attractive forces between the metal cations and the sea of electrons.
In an NaK alloy, for example, the Na and K atoms contribute their valence electrons to the "sea". The atoms aren’t bonded to each other, but they are held in place by the metallic bonding.
