Walls made of paraffin wax, a covalent compound, help keep the temperature in a room steady as night changes into day and day in

to night. What is the most important property of covalent compounds that allows paraffin wax to help keep a room’s temperature level? The wall would not absorb or release any heat energy from the room or outside, so it would not affect the room’s temperature. The wall would not absorb heat during the day, but at night it would release heat that naturally exists inside of most covalent compounds. The wall would absorb extra heat during the day when the sun is out, then release the heat back into the room when the sun goes down. The wall would absorb extra heat during the day, and the wall would hold this heat in so that it cannot absorb any more heat from the night air.

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Covalent compounds are the compounds in which atoms combine by sharing of electrons.

These compounds have weak forces of attraction and therefore, they easily heat up and thus, have low melting and boiling point.

Hence, the most important property of covalent compounds that allows paraffin wax to help keep a room’s temperature level is that the wall would absorb extra heat during the day when the sun is out, then release the heat back into the room when the sun goes down.

2) Which liberates the most energy?
evablogger [386]

Answer: F(g)+e^-\rightarrow F^-(g)

Explanation:

Electron gain enthalpy is defined as energy released on addition of electron to an isolated gaseous atom.  

The amount of energy released will be maximum when the tendency to attract electrons is maximum. As flourine has atomic number of 9 and has electronic configuration of 2,7. It can readily gain 1 electron to attain stable noble gas configuration and hence liberates maximum energy.

F(g)+e^-\rightarrow F^-(g)

Which of the following is true?
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

a. A reaction in which the entropy of the system increases can be spontaneous only if it is endothermic.

Explanation:

The change in free energy (ΔG) that is, the <u>energy available to do work</u>, of a system for a constant-temperature process is:

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

  • When ΔG < 0 the reaction is spontaneous in the forward direction.
  • When ΔG > 0 the reaction is nonspontaneous. The reaction is

spontaneous in the opposite direction.

  • When ΔG = 0 the system is at equilibrium.

If <u>both ΔH and ΔS are positive</u>, then ΔG will be negative only when the TΔS  term is greater in magnitude than ΔH. This condition is met when T is large.

Which energy transformation occurs in an endothermic reaction
anygoal [31]

Answer:

heat energy

Explanation:

Chemical reactions often involve changes in energy due to the breaking and formation of bonds. Reactions in which energy is released are exothermic reactions, while those that take in heat energy are endothermic.
