Explanation:
When a beaker of ethanoic acid is placed in the refrigerator, its temperature drops and the vessel feels cool.
Now, when we mix ethanoic acid and sodium carbonate, an endothermic reaction occurs, fizzing is observed as carbon dioxide is given off and heat is lost to the surroundings causing the reaction vessel to feel cool to touch.
The difference between putting ethanoic acid in the refrigerator and adding sodium carbonate to the solution is that, in the former, no new substance is formed. The substance remains ethanoic acid when retrieved from the refrigerator. In the later case, new substances are formed. The substance is no more ethanoic acid because a chemical reaction has taken place.
Answer:
The initial volume in mL is 5959.2 mL
Explanation:
As the number of moles of a gas increases, the volume also increases. Hence, number of moles and volumes are directly proportional i.e
n ∝ V
Where n is the number of moles and V is the volume
Then, n = cV
c is the proportionality constant
∴n/V = c
Hence n₁/V₁ = n₂/V₂
Where n₁ is the initial number of moles
V₁ is the initial volume
n₂ is the final number of moles
and V₂ is the final volume.
From the question,
n₁ = 0.693 moles
V₁ = ?
n₂ = 0.928 moles
V₂ = 7.98 L
Putting the values into the equation
n₁/V₁ = n₂/V₂
0.693 / V₁ = 0.928 / 7.98
Cross multiply
∴ 0.928V₁ = 0.693 × 7.98
0.928V₁ = 5.53014
V₁ = 5.53014/0.928
V₁ = 5.9592 L
To convert to mL, multiply by 1000
∴ V₁ = 5.9592 × 1000 mL
V₁ = 5959.2 mL
Hence, the initial volume in mL is 5959.2 mL
I think the correct answer would be the third option. The reason I2 has a higher melting point than F2 is because I2 possesses a more polarizable electron cloud. I2 contains more electrons than F2 which would result to a stronger intermolecular forces. Having stronger intermoleculer forces would mean more energy is needed to break the bonds so a higher melting point would be observed.
