Explanation:
The dipoles in CO are in opposite directions so they cancel each other out, although CO₂ has polar bonds, it is a nonpolar molecule. Therefore, the only intermolecular forces are London dispersion forces. Water (H2O) has hydrogen bond present which is a polar bond which has a high intermolecular force.
Water which has high intermolecular force will require more energy that is a higher temperature to overcome these attractions and are pulled together tightly to form a solid at higher temperatures, so their freezing point is higher.
As the temperature of a liquid decreases, the average kinetic energy of the molecules decreases and they move more slowly.
CO with lower intermolecular forces will not solidify until the temperature is lowered further.
This is because the salt in the lake lowers the freezing point. Salt makes a great ice melter, but salt cannot melt ice with just itself.
It takes 365 days for Earth to rotate on its axis.
The correct answer is D) ) It uses the mass and specific heat of water along with a thermometer to measure the gain or loss of energy when a substance is added.
The statement that describes how a basic coffee cup calorimeter works is: "It uses the mass and specific heat of water along with a thermometer to measure the gain or loss of energy when a substance is added."
To measure the heat flow during a chemical reaction we use the device called Calorimeter. This device has a combustion chamber and above it, a metal container of water. With the use of a thermometer, we can measure the change in temperature. The combustion chamber releases the heat. This increases the temperature of the water.
The other options of the question were A) It measures the mass of a substance given the specific heat and temperature of water in a cup of known size. B) It measures the density of a substance given the mass, specific heat, and temperature of water in a cup of known size. C) It uses the mass and specific heat of water along with a pressure gauge to measure the gain or loss of energy when a substance is added.
