Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A change that does not lead to any difference in chemical composition of a substance is known as a physical change.
For example, shape, size, mass, volume, density, boiling point, etc of a substance are all physical properties.
Boiling of water is a physical change as it leads to conversion of liquid state of water into vapor state.
On the other hand, changes that lead to bring change in chemical composition of a substance is known as a chemical change.
For example, exploding dynamite, rotting cheese etc are all chemical changes.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement no, boiling water is a physical change is true when water is heated, bubbles form in the water. This evidence is not of a chemical reaction.
Where are the statements?
Answer:
Making oxygen
Oxygen can be made from hydrogen peroxide, which decomposes slowly to form water and oxygen:
hydrogen peroxide → water + oxygen
2H2O2(aq) → 2H2O(l) + O2(g)
The rate of reaction can be increased using a catalyst, manganese(IV) oxide. When manganese(IV) oxide is added to hydrogen peroxide, bubbles of oxygen are given off.
Apparatus arranged to measure the volume of gas in a reaction. Reaction mixture is in a flask and gas travels out through a pipe in the top and down into a trough of water. It then bubbles up through a beehive shelf into an upturned glass jar filled with water. The gas collects at the top of the jar, forcing water out into the trough below.
To make oxygen in the laboratory, hydrogen peroxide is poured into a conical flask containing some manganese(IV) oxide. The gas produced is collected in an upside-down gas jar filled with water. As the oxygen collects in the top of the gas jar, it pushes the water out.
Instead of the gas jar and water bath, a gas syringe could be used to collect the oxygen.
N2 is non-polar molecules,
NO2 is polar molecules that have slightly positive charge on N and slightly negative on O, so <span>intermolecular forces are stronger in NO2</span>
