The heat/enthalpy of vaporization of water represents the energy input required to convert one mole of water into vapor at a constant temperature. Intermolecular forces including hydrogen bondings of significant strength hold water molecules in place under its liquid state. Whereas the molecules experience almost no intermolecular interactions under the gaseous state- consider the way noble gases molecules interact. It is thus necessary to supply sufficient energy to overcome all intermolecular interactions present in the substance under its liquid state to convert the substance into a gas. The heat of vaporization is thus related to the strength of the intermolecular interactions.
Water molecules contain hydrogen atoms bonded directly to oxygen atoms. Oxygen atoms are highly electronegative and take major control of electrons in hydrogen-oxygen bonds. Hydrogen atoms in water molecules thus experience a strong partial-positive charge and would attract lone pairs of electron on neighboring water molecules. "Hydrogen bonds" refer to the attraction between hydrogen atoms bonded to electronegative elements and lone pairs of electrons. The hydrogen-oxygen bonds in water molecules are so polarized that hydrogen bonds in water are stronger than both dipole-dipole interactions and London Dispersion Forces in most other molecules. It thus take high amounts of energy to separate water molecules sufficiently apart such that they no longer experience intermolecular interactions and behave collectively like a gas. As a result, water has one of the highest heat of vaporization among covalent molecules of similar sizes.
The number of bonds for a neutral atom is equal to the number of electrons in the full valence shell (2 or 8 electrons) minus the number of valence electrons. This method works because each covalent bond that an atom forms adds another electron to an atoms valence shell without changing its charge.
The mass of magnesium in 
atoms is 240 g.
Answer: Option A
<u>Explanation:</u>
First, we have to convert the atoms to moles of magnesium.
We know that atoms are present in 1 mole of magnesium. So,
Thus,
Thus, 240 g of Magnesium is present in atoms.
0.300 M IKI represents the
concentration which is in molarity of a potassium iodide solution. This means
that for every liter of solution there are 0.300 moles of potassium iodide. Knowing
that molarity is a ratio of solute to solution.
By using a conversion factor:
100 ml x (1L / 1000 mL) x (0.300
mol Kl / 1 L) x (166.0g / 1 mol Kl) = 4.98 g
Therefore, in the first
conversion by simply converting the unit of volume to liter, Molarity is in L
where the volume is in liters. The next step is converted in moles from volume
by using molarity as a conversion factor which is similar to how density can be
used to convert between volume and mass. After converting to moles it is simply
used as molar mass of Kl which is obtained from periodic table to convert from
mole to grams.
In order to get the grams of IKI
to create a 100 mL solution of 0.600 M IKI, use the same formula as above:
100 ml x (1L / 1000 mL) x (0.600
mol Kl / 1 L) x (166.0g / 1 mol Kl) = 9.96 g
