Why is a relatively large amount of energy required to turn liquid water into water vapor?
bagirrra123 [75]
Water can exist in three states.

1) Solid State: Called Ice.

2) Liquid State: Called Liquid Water.

3) Gas State: Called Steam.

Remember:
                  The physical states of a matter depends upon the interactions between the particles of that substance. The interactions are very strong in solid state, strong in liquid state and very weak or negligible in gas state. 
                  If you want to change the state from solid to liquid, or from liquid to gas you will have to provide energy in order to break the interactions between the molecules. Stronger the interactions, the more is energy required to break the interactions.
                  Water need more energy to convert from liquid to gas phase because hydrogen bond interactions are present among the molecules of water. And the hydrogen bonds are strong enough. Hence in order to break these interactions high energy is required.

Which of the following weak interactions would require the least amount of energy to disrupt? Group of answer choices
SpyIntel [72]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A hydrogen bond is defined as a weak bond that is formed between an electropositive atom (generally hydrogen atom) and an electronegative atom like oxygen, nitrogen and fluorine.

An ionic bond is defined as a bond formed between a metal and a non-metal and in this bond transfer of electron takes place from metal to non-metal. And, due to the presence of opposite charges on the combining atoms there exists a strong force of attraction.

Vander waal forces are defined as the weak electric forces which tend to attract neutral molecules towards each other in gases, liquefied and solidified gases.

Vander waal forces are very weak forces.

Thus, we can conclude that Van der walas interactions are weak interactions would require the least amount of energy to disrupt.

Molecule contains carbon, hydrogen and sulfur atoms. When a sample of 0.535g of this compound is burnt in oxygen, 1.119 g of CO2
OLga [1]

Answer:

The empirical formula is, C4H4S

Explanation:

Number of moles of carbon = 1.119 g/ 44g/mol = 0.025 moles

Mass of Carbon= 0.025 moles × 12 g/ mole = 0.3 g

Number of moles of hydrogen = 0.229/18g/mol × 2 = 0.025 moles

Mass of hydrogen = 0.025 moles × 1 = 0.025 g

Number of moles of sulphur = 0.407g/ 64 g/mol = 0.0064 moles

Mass of sulphur= 0.0064 moles ×32 = 0.2 g

Now we obtain the mole ratios by dividing through by the lowest ratio.

C- 0.025 moles/ 0.0064 moles, H- 0.025 moles/ 0.0064 moles, S- 0.0064 moles/0.0064 moles

C4H4S

The activation energy of a reaction is 56.9 kj/mol and the frequency factor is 1.5×1011/s. Part a calculate the rate constant of
Vanyuwa [196]

We will use Arrehenius equation

lnK = lnA  -( Ea / RT)

R = gas constant = 8.314 J / mol K

T = temperature = 25 C = 298 K

A = frequency factor

ln A = ln (1.5×10 ^11) = 25.73

Ea = activation energy = 56.9 kj/mol = 56900 J / mol

lnK = 25.73 - (56900 / 8.314 X 298) = 2.76

Taking antilog

K = 15.8
