What is occurring during the flat section of the graph below on the red arrow labeled boiling, between liquid and gas? gas (3.)
OO liquid temperature solid time (minutes) O A. Heat is being absorbed, allowing particles of the liquid to overcome the atmospheric pressure. B. Heat is being absorbed, allowing particles of the liquid to overcome the vapor pressure. C. Heat is being released, allowing particles of liquid to overcome the pressure, and is why the temp does not increase. D. The temperature is no longer increasing even though heat is still being added because the heat is being absorbed to lower the melting point
Sodium metal is quite reactive; sodium ions (as in NaCl) are quite unreactive. Cl^- ions are not reactive; they are stingily attracted to positive ions such as Na^+with which they form ionic bonds.
Esterification occurs when a carboxylic acid reacts with an alcohol. This reaction can only occur in the presence of an acid catalyst and heat. It takes a lot of energy to remove the -OH from the carboxylic acid, so a catalyst and heat are needed to produce the necessary energy.
