Which property of water best explains why ice forms on its surface

1 answer:

5 0

The hydrogen bonding tendency of water causes it to be 'sticky,' in that water molecules tend to stick together (as in a puddle). This is known ascohesion. Because of this property, water has a high surface tension. This means that it takes a little extra force to break the surface of the water puddle.Mar 13, 2018

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since we know the heat of reaction per gram of reactant and we should know the total energy of reaction, but it is not there, we are going to assume it is 1200 J as usual in these problems, so you can change it to whatever your given heat is.

In such a way, we set up the math as shown below:

$m= 1200J*\frac{1kJ}{1000J}*\frac{1g}{31.0kJ}$

Which results:

$m=0.0387g$

Best regards!

ycow [4]

<u>Answer:</u> For the given equation, only iron has the value of $\Delta H_f$ equal to 0 kJ.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles. It is represented as $\Delta H^o$

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H^o_f(reactant)]$

For the given chemical reaction:

$3CO(g)+2Fe_2O_3(s)\rightarrow Fe(s)+3CO_2(g)$

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(1\times \Delta H^o_f_{(Fe(s))})+(3\times \Delta H^o_f_{(CO_2(g))})]-[(3\times \Delta H^o_f_{(CO(g))})+(2\times \Delta H^o_f_{(Fe_2O_3(s))})]$

The enthalpy of formation for the substances present in their elemental state is taken as 0.

Here, iron is present in its elemental state which is solid.

Hence, for the given equation, only iron has the value of $\Delta H_f$ equal to 0 kJ.

What happens to the pressure of a gas inside a rigid container if the temperature of a gas decreases?

NikAS [45]

Answer:

If the temperature of gas is decreased the pressure will also goes to decrease.

Explanation:

The pressure and temperature have direct relation. If the temperature of gas will increase the pressure of gas will also goes to increase.

According to the Gay-Lussas's Law,

The pressure of given amount of gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature when volume is kept constant.

Mathematical relationship:

P ∝ T

P = kT

P/T = k

and

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂
