This is a benefit I’m not sure if a negative
This strong current of warm water influences the climate of the east coast of Florida, keeping temperatures there warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer than the other southeastern states. Since the Gulf Stream also extends toward Europe, it warms western European countries as well.
Answer:
A. Intramolecular interactions are generally stronger.
B. a. Only intermolecular interactions are broken when a liquid is converted to a gas.
Explanation:
<em>A. Which is generally stronger, intermolecular interactions or intramolecular interactions?</em>
Intramolecular interactions, in which electrons are gained, lost or shared, constitute true bonds and are one or two orders of magnitude stronger than intermolecular interactions.
<em>B. Which of these kinds of interactions are broken when a liquid is converted to a gas?</em>
When a liquid vaporizes, the intermolecular attractions are broken, that is, molecules get more separated. However, true bonds are not broken which is why the molecules keep their chemical identity.
Answer:
<em>When salt is dissolved in water</em>, many physical properties change, among them the so called colligative properties:
- The vapor pressure of water decreases,
- The boiling point increases,
- The freezing point decreases, and
- Osmotic pressure appears.
Explanation:
Colligative properties are the physical properties of the solvents whose change is determined by the number of particles (moles or ions) of the solute added.
The colligative properties are: vapor pressure, boiling point, freezing point, and osmotic pressure.
<u>Vapor pressure</u>:
The vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by the vapor of a lquid over its surface, in a closed vessel.
The vapor pressure increases when a solute is added, because the presence of the solute causes less solvent molecules to be near the surface ready to escape to the vapor phase, which means that the vapor pressure is lower.
<u>Boiling point</u>:
The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure. Since we have seen that the vapor pressure of water decreases when a solute occupies part of the surface, now more temperature will be required for the water molecules reach the atmospheric pressure. So, the boiling point increases when salt is dissolved in water.
<u>Freezing point</u>:
The freezing point is the temperarute at which the vapor pressure of the liquid and the solid are equal. Since, the vapor pressure of water with salt is lower than that of the pure water, the vapor pressure of the liquid and solid with salt will be equal at a lower temperature. Hence, the freezing point is lower (decreases).
<u>Osmotic pressure</u>:
Osmotic pressure is the additional pressure that must be exerted over a solution to make that the vapor pressure of the solvent in the solution equals the vapor pressure of the pure solvent. This additional pressure is proportional to the concentration of the solute: the higher the salt concentration the higher the osmotic pressure.
Answer:
photoelectric effect, phenomenon in which electrically charged particles are released from or within a material when it absorbs electromagnetic radiation. The effect is often defined as the ejection of electrons from a metal plate when light falls on it.
