A thermometer is placed in water in order to measure the water’s temperature. What would cause the liquid in the thermometer to

rise?
The molecules in the water move closer together.

The molecules in the thermometer’s liquid spread apart.

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When we use a thermometer to measure the temperature of water then heat from the water will lead to represent an increase in the thermometer reading.

This is because heat or warmth from the water will get transferred to the thermometer as a result, the liquid in the thermometer will also get warm.

Therefore, this warmth will increase kinetic energy of the molecules of liquid in the thermometer. Hence, the liquid will spread.

Thus, we can conclude that the liquid in the thermometer to rise because  molecules in the thermometer’s liquid spread apart.

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

carbonate ion < carbon dioxide < carbon monoxide

Explanation:

Bond strength depends on the bond order of a bond. The higher the bond order, the greater the bond strength since shorter bonds are stronger than longer bonds.

The carbonate ion has a bond order of 1.33, carbon dioxide has a bond order of 2 while carbon monoxide has a bond order of 3.

Since the compound with the highest C-O  bond order has the strongest C-O bond, then carbon monoxide possesses the strongest C-O bond.
