Explanation:
The dipoles in CO are in opposite directions so they cancel each other out, although CO₂ has polar bonds, it is a nonpolar molecule. Therefore, the only intermolecular forces are London dispersion forces. Water (H2O) has hydrogen bond present which is a polar bond which has a high intermolecular force.
Water which has high intermolecular force will require more energy that is a higher temperature to overcome these attractions and are pulled together tightly to form a solid at higher temperatures, so their freezing point is higher.
As the temperature of a liquid decreases, the average kinetic energy of the molecules decreases and they move more slowly.
CO with lower intermolecular forces will not solidify until the temperature is lowered further.
The reaction creates dihydrogen, hence if it's uncontrolled it could lead to potentially dangerous amounts of gas being released at once.
Answer:
The correct option is b
Explanation:
Firstly, the compound is ClF₃ and not ClF₃ClF₃. The name of the compound ClF₃ is chlorine trifluoride. It's electron geometry is trigonal bipyramidal (with the chlorine at the center and the atoms of the fluorine forming a triangular bipyramid around it) with a bond angle of 175° with an hybridization of sp³d.
Based on the bond energies given, the enthalpy change for the reaction of is -33 kJ and the reaction is exothermic.
<h3>What is the change in bond energy of a reaction?</h3>
The change in bond energy of a reaction is calculated using the formula below:
- change in bond energy = sum of energies of bonds broken - sum of energies of bonds formed
A reaction is exothermic if the change in bond energy is negative.
A reaction is endothermic if the change in bond energy is positive.
Given the bond enery values above:
sum of energies of bonds broken = 4 × C-H + Br-Br
sum of energies of bonds broken = 4 × 413 + 193 = 1845 kJ
sum of energies of bonds formed = 3 × C-H + C-Br + H-Br
sum of energies of bonds formed = 3 × 413 + 276 + 363 = 1878 kJ
Thus;
change in bond energy = 1845 - 1878 = -33 kJ
- The reaction is exothermic because the change in bond energy is negative.
Therefore, the enthalpy change for the reaction of is -33 kJ and the reaction is exothermic.
