Water freezes at 0∘C and CO freezes at −205∘C. Which type of intermolecular force accounts for this difference in freezing point

between the two compounds?
Chemistry
1 answer:
Assoli18 [71]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

The dipoles in CO are in opposite directions so they cancel each other out, although CO₂ has polar bonds, it is a nonpolar molecule. Therefore, the only intermolecular forces are London dispersion forces. Water (H2O) has hydrogen bond present which is a polar bond which has a high intermolecular force.

Water which has high intermolecular force will require more energy that is a higher temperature to overcome these attractions and are pulled together tightly to form a solid at higher temperatures, so their freezing point is higher.

As the temperature of a liquid decreases, the average kinetic energy of the molecules decreases and they move more slowly.

CO with lower intermolecular forces will not solidify until the temperature is lowered further.

An atom has the following electron configuration 1s2s2sp63s23p64s2 How many valance electrons does this atom have?
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The electron configuration for this atom is Calcium, which has 2 valence electrons.

Explanation:

Following the periodic table and with the electron configuration, you will end up with calcium, which has 2 valence electrons. (Always follow the electron configuration from left to right! It begins at hydrogen, then to helium... and so on.)

1s2 -> He....

2s2 -> Be....

2p6 -> Ne...

3s2 -> Mg...

3p6 -> Ar...

4s2 -> Ca.

which has a higher entropy for the reaction: 2nh3(g)→n2(g) 3h2(g) which has a higher entropy for the reaction: reactants product
krok68 [10]

The one that has a higher entropy for the reaction is products.

<h3>What is entropy?</h3>

Entropy is a measureable physical characteristic and a scientific notion that is frequently connected to a condition of disorder, unpredictability, or uncertainty. It is the measurement of the amount of thermal energy per unit of temperature in a system that cannot be used for productive work. It is a measure of a system's molecular disorder or unpredictability since work is produced by organized molecular motion.

It should bm be noted that the entropy of gas is more than entropy of aqueous which is more than the entropy of liquid and the entropy of solid.

On the product side there are more gas than the reactant side. Therefore, product has more entropy.

In one experiment, magnesium metal melts. In a second experiment, magnesium metal ignites as it combines with oxygen. Classify t
joja [24]

Answer:

magnesium metal melts = physical change

magnesium metal ignites = chemical change

Explanation:

<em>Physical changes</em> are those in which the identity of the subtance <u>remains unaltered</u>. No new compounds are formed. They involve generally changes in <u>agreggation states of matter</u>: solid, liquid or gas. The first experiment, in which magnesium metal melts is a physical change because it only changes the state of matter, from solid to liquid, but it is still magnesium metal.

Conversely, <em>chemical changes</em> involve atoms combinations to form new compounds. The second experiment, in which magnesium metal ignites, is a chemical change. After the change, magnesium metal is no longer the metal but a metal oxide.
