Explanation:

As a substance melts, and goes from a solid to a liquid state, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases, and the molecules move faster, and they separate further and further away from each other. The intermolecluar forces holding the molecules together become weaker

How do the bonds differ in<br> each type?

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Bonds basically differs with each other due to sharing of electrons .

Explanation:

There are majorly three kinds of bonds

1. Ionic bonds which forms due to an element donate an electron to another element completely .

2. covalent bonds which forms with the mutual sharing of electrons b/w two atoms .

3. metallic bonds which forms b/w metals & they share electrons due to electron negativity difference b/w two atoms or elements

The solubility of oxygen gas in water at 40 ∘c is 1.0 mmol/l of solution. What is this concentration in units of mole fraction?

juin [17]

The formula for mole fraction is:

$mole fraction of solute = \frac{number of moles of solute}{total number of moles of solution}$ -(1)

The solubility of oxygen gas = 1.0 mmol/L (given)

1.0 mmol/L means 1.0 mmol are present in 1 L.

Converting mmol to mol:

$1.00 mmol\times \frac{1 mol}{1000 mmol} = 0.001 mol$

So, moles of oxygen = 0.001 mol

For moles of water:

1 L of water = 1000 mL of water

Since, the density of water is 1.0 g/mL.

$Density = \frac{mass}{volume}$

$Mass = 1.0 g/ml\times 1000 mL = 1000 g$

So, the mass of water is 1000 g.

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol.

Number of moles of water = $\frac{1000 g}{18 g/mol} = 55.55 mol$

Substituting the values in formula (1):

$mole fraction = \frac{0.001}{55.55+0.001}$

$mole fraction = 1.8\times 10^{-5}$

Hence, the mole fraction is $1.8\times 10^{-5}$ .
