a) NH₃ molecules have stronger intermolecular attractions than CH₄ molecules.
Explanation:
Ammonia molecules have stronger intermolecular attractions compared to methane.
Ammonia molecules have london dispersion forces and hydrogen bonds between their molecules.
Methane molecules have only london dispersion forces in their structure.
- hydrogen bonds are very strong attractive forces between molecules in which the hydrogen of a molecule is attracted by a more electronegative atom of another usually oxygen, nitrogen and fluorine.
- London dispersion forces are weak forces of attraction between heteronuclear atoms.

ANSWER
EXPLANATION
Given that
The energy released by the system is 12.4J
Work done on the surrounding is 4.2J
Follow the steps below to find the change in energy
In the given data, energy is said to be released to the surroundings
Recall, that exothermic reaction is a type of reaction in which heat is released to the surroundings. Hence, change in enthalpy is negative
Step 1; Write the formula for calculating change in energy

Since heat is released to the surrounding, then q = -12J
Recall, that work done by the system on the surroundings is always negative
Hence, w = -4.2J
Step 2; Substitute the given data into the formula in step 1

Therefore, the change i
