Energy increases heat and causes a phase change from solid to liquid or liquid to solid

Chemistry

weqwewe [10]3 years ago
7 0
<span>So, how could there be a change in heat during a state change without a change in temperature? During a change in state the heat energy is used to change the bonding between the molecules. In the case of melting, added energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules. In the case of freezing, energy is subtracted as the molecules bond to one another. These energy exchanges are not changes in kinetic energy. They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules.If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance. The example we will use here is ice melting into water. Immediately after the molecular bonds in the ice are broken the molecules are moving (vibrating) at the same average speed as before, so their average kinetic energy remains the same, and, thus, their Kelvin temperature remains the same.</span>

 

Below is a picture of solid ice melting into liquid water. The molecule of ice and the molecule of water (the black balls) are moving with the same rate of vibration in this diagram. This is meant to show that they have the same average speed and thus the same average kinetic energy (since they have the same mass) and thus the same Kelvin temperature. The motions are, though, greatly exaggerated. Actually, the motions of the molecules should be considered tiny vibrations.

Which is the correctly balanced chemical equation for the reaction of KOH and H2SO4?
zalisa [80]

Answer:

2KOH + H₂SO₄ → K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O.

Explanation:

  • This is an acid-base reaction which produces salt and water according to the balanced equation:

<em>2KOH + H₂SO₄ → K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O.</em>

<em></em>

it is clear that 2.0 moles of KOH react with 1.0 mole of H₂SO₄ to produce 1.0 mole of K₂SO₄ and 2.0 moles of H₂O

Briefly describe how a potentiometric pHmeter works. (Hint: Describe how the pH meter
liq [111]

Answer:

A general instrument, which is used to determine the concentration of hydrogen ion within the aqueous solution is known as a pH meter. The meter helps in determining the alkalinity or acidity, which is articulated in the form of pH. It is also called a potentiometric pH meter as it helps in finding the variation in electrical potential between a reference electrode and a pH electrode. This electrical potential variation is associated with the pH of the solution.  

The potentiometric pH meter comprises a pair of electrodes and a basic electronic amplifier, some may even comprise a combination electrode and some sort of display that demonstrates pH units. The potentiometric pH meter generally exhibits a reference electrode or a combination electrode, and a glass electrode. The probes or electrodes are administered within a solution whose pH values are needed to be determined.

Which compound has the strongest hydrogen bonding between its molecules?
GrogVix [38]
(3) HF because HCl is an acid and it seperates easily into water. Flourine has the highest electronegativity so im guessing because it pulls the electrons the hardest that it has the strongest bonds.

Determine the empirical formula. a 3.880g sample contains 0.691g of magnesium , 1.84 g of sulfur , and 1.365 g of oxygen .
Aliun [14]

Answer:

Mg S2 O3

Explanation:

.691 g of Mg  is .284 mole

1.84 g of S    is .5739 mole

1.365 g of O is  .8531 mole      you can see the ratio is ~  1 :2 :3

                                                        Mg S2 O3
