Hey there,

Your question states: Why is ice less dense than liquid water?
There reason why Ice is less dense than liquid is because ice has compact molecules that are tight together and they stay still. But as for water, those molecules are lose and they are more free than ice.

Hope this helps.

The answer is: Ice expands (volume is increasing) when it freezes, because of hydrogen bonds.

When molecule frezes, it lose energy. When molecules are far apart, it means the volume is greater and it expands.

For example, ice expands when water is freezing.

Hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between two polar groups that occurs when a hydrogen atom (H), covalently bound to a highly electronegative atom such as flourine (F), oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N) atoms.

The compound HA is an acid that is soluble in water which of the beakers in the picture shows HA behaving as a weak acid in wate
lesya692 [45]
HA is a weak acid so there should be little amount of HA and then H+ and A- in the beaker so the last one is true a weak acid never converts completely to H+ and A-

The elements in Groups 1 AU) and 7A(17) are all quite reactive. What is a major difference between them?
Yuliya22 [10]

Explanation:

Elements of group 1A are known as alkali metals. Elements of this group are lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium.

All these elements are metals and every element of this group has 1 valence electron. So, in order to attain stability they will readily lose their valence electron.

Hence, elements of group 1A are very reactive.

On the other hand, elements of group 7A are also known as halogen group. Elements of this group are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.

All these elements are non-metals and every element of this group has 7 valence electrons. So, in order to completely fill their octet these elements gain 1 electron from a donor atom.

Therefore, these elements are alo reactive in nature.

But the major difference between elements of group 1A and group 7A is that elements of group 1A are metals but elements of group 7A are non-metals.

How many grams of sodium chloride decompose to yield 15 grams of chlorine gas?
defon

Answer:

24.6g of NaCl

Explanation:

Expression of the reaction:

            2NaCl →  2Na  +  Cl₂

Given parameters:

Mass of Cl₂  = 15g

Unknown:

Mass of NaCl  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we have to use mole relationships.

 Find the number of moles of the mass of the given specie;

    Number of moles  = \frac{mass}{molar mass}  

     Molar mass of Cl₂  = 2(35.5) = 71g/mol

   Number of moles  = \frac{15}{71}   = 0.21mole

Now;

 From the balanced reaction equation;

        1 mole of Cl₂ is produced from 2 moles of NaCl;

      0.21 mole of Cl₂ will be produced from 0.21 x 2 = 0.42mole of NaCl

So,

  Mass of NaCl = number of moles x molar mass

    Molar mass of NaCl  = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5g/mol

 Mass of NaCl  = 0.42 x 58.5 = 24.6g of NaCl
