<h2>The required "option is b) hydrogen bonds must be broken to raise its temperature.</h2>

Explanation:

  • Water has high specific heat due to hydrogen bonds present in it.
  • The Ionisation of water does not affect the specific heat of the water.
  • On decreasing the temperature, there is the formation of bonds hence option (d) is wrong.
  • On increasing the temperature, there is the breaking of bonds hence option (b) is correct.

How much heat (in Joules) is needed to raise the temperature of 257g of ethanol (cethanol=2.4 J/g°C) by 49.1°C?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Q = 30284.88 j

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of ethanol = 257 g

Cp = 2.4 j/g.°C

Chnage in temperature = ΔT = 49.1°C

Heat required = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

Q = 257 g× 2.4 j/g.°C × 49.1 °C

Q = 30284.88 j

Given that a for HBrO is 2. 8×10^−9 at 25°C. What is the value of b for BrO− at 25°C?
lara [203]

If Ka for HBrO is 2. 8×10^−9 at 25°C, then the value of Kb for BrO− at 25°C is 3.5× 10^(-6).

<h3>What is base dissociation constant? </h3>

The base dissociation constant (Kb) is defined as the measurement of the ions which base can dissociate or dissolve in the aqueous solution. The greater the value of base dissociation constant greater will be its basicity an strength.

The dissociation reaction of hydrogen cyanide can be given as

HCN --- (H+) + (CN-)

Given,

The value of Ka for HCN is 2.8× 10^(-9)

The correlation between base dissociation constant and acid dissociation constant is

Kw = Ka × Kb

Kw = 10^(-14)

Substituting values of Ka and Kw,

Kb = 10^(-14) /{2.8×10^(-9) }

= 3.5× 10^(-6)

Thus, we find that if Ka for HBrO is 2. 8×10^−9 at 25°C, then the value of Kb for BrO− at 25°C is 3.5× 10^(-6).

DISCLAIMER: The above question have mistake. The correct question is given as

Choose the predominant type of bonding as ionic, covalent, or metallic for the substance below.
nadya68 [22]
It is ionic bond because of Na valency and it is alkali metal and cl is non metal and it’s valency , they both share electron and make ionic bonding .
