Answer:
Weak bonds require less energy to form than strong bonds
Explanation:
According to Coulomb's law, the force between two species is inversely proportional to the distance between them. That said, the bigger the atoms are, the greater the bond length should be to form a molecule.
As a result, for a greater bond length, the attraction force is lower than for a shorter bond length. This implies that large atoms would form weak bonds and small atoms would form strong bonds.
Bond energy is defined as the amount of energy required to break the bond. If a bond is weak, it would require a low amount of energy to break it. This is also true for energy of formation, as it's the same process taking place in the opposite direction.

Answer:
The concentration of
that should used originally is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The necessary elementary step is

The time taken for sixth of 0.5 M of reactant to react 
The time available is 
The desired concentration to remain
Let Z be the reactant , Y be the first product and X the second product
Generally the elementary rate law is mathematically as

Where k is the rate constant ,
is the concentration of Z
From the elementary rate law we see that the reaction is second order (This because the concentration of the reactant is raised to power 2 )
For second order reaction

Where
is the initial concentration of Z which a value of 
From the question we are told that it take 9 hours for the concentration of the reactant to become


So


=>

The micromoles of mercury(II) iodide : 0.013 μ moles
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
215.0mL of a 6.0x10⁻⁵mmol/L HgI₂
Required
micromoles of HgI₂
Solution
Molarity(M) = moles of solute per liters of solution
Can be formulated :
M = n : V
n = moles
V = volume of solution
V = 215 mL = 0.215 L
so moles of solution :
n = M x V
n = 6.10 mmol/L x 0.215 L
n = 1.312 . 10⁻⁵ mmol
mmol = 10³ micromol
so 1.312 mmol = 1.312.10⁻⁵ x 10³ = 0.01312 micromoles ⇒ 2 sif fig = 0.013 μ moles
