Describe a method to investigate how the temperature changes when different masses of ammonium

rewona [7]

Answer:

Decrease temperature with increase in ammonium nitrate concentration.

Explanation:

The temperature changes when different masses of ammonium nitrate are dissolved in water because the ammonium nitrate takes energy from the surrounding water environment for the breaking of ionic bonds as a result the temperature of water decreases. When more concentration of ammonium nitrate is added to water, more decrease occur in temperature of water and the water becomes cold.

draw the lewis structure for CO2, H2CO3, HCO3-, and CO3 2-.Rank these in order of increasing attraction to water molecules. Expl

gavmur [86]

Answer:

The structures are attached in file.

Hydrogen bonding and intermolecular forces is the reason for ranks allotted.

Explanation:

In determining Lewis structure, we calculate the overall number of valence electrons available for bonding. Making carbon (the least electronegative atom) the central atom in the structure, we allocate valence electrons until each atom has achieved stability.

In order of decreasing affinity to water molecules:

$CO_{3}^{2-} > HCO_{3} ^{2-} > H_{2} CO_{3}$

This is due to the fact that the $CO_{3}^{2-}$ will accept protons more readily than the bicarbonate ion, $HCO_{3} ^{2-}$ . Carbonic acid, $H_{2} CO_{3}$ will not accept any more protons, hence it is the least attractive to water molecule, even though soluble.
