C. Lowering the temperature
At the lower temperature, particles have less kinetic energy, so they move slower.
Answer: Because water has a high specific heat capacity due to the hydrogen bonding within the H₂O molecules ; so it takes a great deal of energy, or heat, to break these bonds— or to form them.

Answer:
30.8 grams of magnesium hydroxide will form from this reaction, and magnesium nitrate is the limiting reagent.
Explanation:
The reaction that takes place is:
- 2NaOH + Mg(NO₃)₂ → 2NaNO₃ + Mg(OH)₂
Now we <u>convert the given masses of reactants to moles</u>, using their respective <em>molar masses</em>:
- 68.3 g NaOH ÷ 40 g/mol = 1.71 mol NaOH
- 78.3 g Mg(NO₃)₂ ÷ 148.3 g/mol = 0.528 mol Mg(NO₃)₂
0.528 moles of Mg(NO₃)₂ would react completely with (0.528 * 2) 1.056 moles of NaOH. There are more than enough NaOH moles, so NaOH is the reagent in excess and <em>Mg(NO₃)₂ is the limiting reagent.</em>
Now we <u>calculate how many Mg(OH)₂ are produced</u>, using the <em>moles of the limiting reagent</em>:
- 0.528 mol Mg(NO₃)₂ *
= 0.528 mol Mg(OH)₂
Finally we convert Mg(OH)₂ moles to grams:
- 0.528 mol Mg(OH)₂ * 58.32 g/mol = 30.8 g
Answer:
A bonding that occurs between high electronegative atoms such are N, F, O and H atoms, is called a hydrogen bond. Hydrogen bond is a very strong bond. (C)
If hydrogen bonds are not formed between H atoms and N, F, O atom, then the atoms interact through dispersion forces (also known as london dispersion forces). Dispersion forces are weak and they are temporary forces formed by overlapping of orbitals. (B)
Answer:
A mutation is a heritable change in the genetic material of an individual. The change can be large or small. Large changes involve the loss, addition, duplication, or rearrangement of whole chromosomes or chromosome segments. Mutations can affect an organism by changing its physical characteristics (or phenotype) or it can impact the way DNA codes the genetic information (genotype). When mutations occur they can cause termination (death) of an organism or they can be partially lethal.
