How does water’s ability to form hydrogen bonds explain why ice is less dense than liquid water?

Chemistry

Answer:

As water freezes, a crystalline structure preserved by hydrogen bonding is formed by water molecules. Less dense than liquid water is solid water, or ice. Ice is less dense than water since molecules are pulled farther apart by the direction of hydrogen bonds, which decreases density.

What is the mass of hydrogen in 5.5 mol of Ca(OH)2?

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

12*2*6.022*10^23. Atoms of hydrogen.

Explanation:

First of all if u know that 1 molecule of calcium hydroxide contain 2 hydrogen atom and 1 mole of calcium hydroxide contain 6.022*10^23 molecules of calcium hydroxide.

Hence 1 mole of calcium hydroxide contain 2*6.022*10^23 atom of hydrogen.

So 12 mole of calcium hydroxide contain =12*2*6.022*10^23. Atoms of hydrogen.

Consider the reaction 5 Br− (aq) + BrO3− (aq) + 6 H+ (aq) → 3 Br2 (aq) + 3 H2O (l) The average rate of consumption of Br− is 1.8

kaheart [24]

Answer : The average rate of consumption of $H^+$ during the same time interval is, 2.17 M/s

Explanation :

The general rate of reaction is,

$aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD$

Rate of reaction : It is defined as the change in the concentration of any one of the reactants or products per unit time.

The expression for rate of reaction will be :

$\text{Rate of disappearance of A}=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of disappearance of B}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of formation of C}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of formation of D}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}$

$Rate=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}$

From this we conclude that,

In the rate of reaction, A and B are the reactants and C and D are the products.

a, b, c and d are the stoichiometric coefficient of A, B, C and D respectively.

The negative sign along with the reactant terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the reactant is decreasing and positive sign along with the product terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the product is increasing.

The given rate of reaction is,

$5Br^-(aq)+BrO_3^-(aq)+6H^+(aq)\rightarrow 3Br_2(aq)+3H_2O(l)$
