Answer:

Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, since nitric acid is HNO₃ and strontium hydroxide is Sr(OH)₂ we can represent the balanced chemical reaction by equaling the atoms of strontium, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen at both reactants and products as shown below:

Best regards.
Answer:
The intermolecular forces between the solute and solvent.
Explanation:
When you are heating a solvent, the intermolecular forces are reduced because the distances between molecules are large. Thus, in a solution where solvent is hot the intermolecular forces between solute and solvent are lower than those solutions where solvent is in room temperature.
The covalent bonds do not change because this mean a chemical reaction that doesn't occur in a solution.
Usually solid solutes melts in a higher temperature than boiling point in solvents. Thus, a compound normally doesn't melt in a hot solvent.
I hope it helps!
