Answer:

Intermolecular forces are the forces of attraction or repulsion which act between neighboring particles (atoms, molecules, or ions ). These forces are weak compared to the intramolecular forces, such as the covalent or ionic bonds between atoms in a molecule.

Importance:

Intermolecular forces are important because they determine the physical properties of substances. Many of the life-sustaining properties of water such as its high heat capacity are a result of the hydrogen bonding capabilities it has and are thus due to intermolecular forces.

Molarity to percent by mass. Convert 1.672 mol/L MgCl2(aq) solution to percent by mass of MgCl2 in the solution. The solution de

nignag [31]

Answer:

$\%m/m=14\%$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the molarity of magnesium chloride (molar mass = 95.211 g/mol) is 1.672 mol/L and we know the density of the solution, we can first compute the concentration in g/L as shown below:

$[MgCl_2]=1.672\frac{molMgCl_2}{L}*\frac{95.211gMgCl_2}{1molMgCl_2}=159.2\frac{gMgCl_2}{L}$

Next, since the density of the solution is 1.137 g/mL, we can compute the concentration in g/g as shown below:

$[MgCl_2]=159.2\frac{gMgCl_2}{L}*\frac{1L}{1000mL}*\frac{1mL}{1.137g}=0.14$

Which is also the by-mass fraction and in percent it turns out:

$\%m/m=0.14*100\%\\\\\%m/m=14\%$

Best regards!

Bob adds heat to a liquid substance. When enough heat is added,

nikklg [1K]

Bob adds heat to a liquid substance. When enough heat is added, the liquid would undergo a phase transition from the liquid to the vapor phase. This process is called evaporation. It is an endothermic process where heat should be supplied to the system for the process to happen. The temperature of the system, when enough heat is supplied to allow phase transition, is called the boiling point. It is the temperature when the substance starts to boil in turn to a gas or a vapor. The heat that is associated during boiling is called the latent heat of vaporization. It is the heat that is absorbed during the phase change without changing the temperature of the system.

As concentrated energy is used to do _____ , it becomes spread out.

nekit [7.7K]

As concentrated energy is used to do WORK, it becomes spread out.
The universe is made up of constant supply of energy. Energy is use to do work; the usefulness of energy is been degraded as it is been used to carry out work. For instance, the energy in petrol is used to run motor vehicles, the process result in the conversion of the chemical energy in the petrol to heat energy. The heat energy that is produced can not be easily gathered and used again, thus, the usefulness of that heat energy has been degraded.
