Why is a hydrogen bond a relatively weak bond?

1 answer:

5 0

Hydrogen bonds are intermolecular (“between-molecule”) bonds, rather than intramolecular (“within-molecule”) bonds. They occur not only in water but in other polar molecules in which positive hydrogen atoms are attracted to negative atoms in nearby molecules. Hydrogen bonds are relatively weaker as chemical bonds. For example, they are much weaker than the bonds holding atoms together within molecules of covalent compounds.

Hydrogen bond is weaker than ionic and covalent bonds. Example: Water molecules are held to each other by intermolecular forces of attraction. Covalent bonds are the strongest bonds, meaning that atoms are actually held together by the physical sharing of electrons.

Calculate the energy (in J/atom) for vacancy formation in silver, given that the equilibrium number of vacancies at 800 C is 3.6

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

the energy vacancies for formation in silver is $\mathbf{Q_v = 3.069*10^{-4} \ J/atom}$

Explanation:

Given that:

the equilibrium number of vacancies at 800 °C

i.e T = 800°C is 3.6 x 10¹⁷ cm3

Atomic weight of sliver = 107.9 g/mol

Density of silver = 9.5 g/cm³

Let's first determine the number of atoms in silver

Let silver be represented by N

SO;

$N = \dfrac{N_A* \rho _{Ag}}{A_{Ag}}$

where ;

$N_A =$ avogadro's number = $6.023*10^{23} \ atoms/mol$

$\rho _{Ag}$ = Density of silver = 9.5 g/cm³

$A_{Ag}$ = Atomic weight of sliver = 107.9 g/mol

$N = \dfrac{(6.023*10^{23} \ atoms/mol)*( 9.5 \ g/cm^3)}{(107.9 \ g/mol)}$

N = 5.30 × 10²⁸ atoms/m³

However;

The equation for equilibrium number of vacancies can be represented by the equation:

$N_v = N \ e^{^{-\dfrac{Q_v}{KT}}$

From above; Considering the natural logarithm on both sides; we have:

$In \ N_v =In N - \dfrac{Q_v}{KT}$

Making $Q_v$ the subject of the formula; we have:

${Q_v = - {KT} In( \dfrac{ \ N_v }{ N})$

where;

K = Boltzmann constant = 8.62 × 10⁻⁵ eV/atom .K

Temperature T = 800 °C = (800+ 273) K = 1073 K

$Q _v =-( 8.62*10^{-5} \ eV/atom.K * 1073 \ K) \ In( \dfrac{3.6*10^{17}}{5.3 0*10^{28}})$

$\mathbf{Q_v = 2.38 \ eV/atom}$

Where;

1 eV = 1.602176565 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

Then

$Q_v = (2.38 \ * 1.602176565 * 10^{-19} ) J/atom }$

$\mathbf{Q_v = 3.069*10^{-4} \ J/atom}$

Thus, the energy vacancies for formation in silver is $\mathbf{Q_v = 3.069*10^{-4} \ J/atom}$

Vilka [71]

Answer:

both forms of energy referred to in the question is light and heat energy

light energy is the visible energy that travels at a known constant speed of 3.0×10^9m/s

while heat energy is the invisible energy that travels in form of radiation at variable speeds

What factors do not affect nuclear reactions, but do affect chemical reaction

Fudgin [204]

Unlike nuclear reactions, nuclear reactions are not affected by changes in temperature,
pressure, of the presence of catalysts. Also nuclear reactions of given radioisotope cannot be slowed down, speeded up, or stopped.
