The material which is part of the system that absorbed heat is; The water.

Discussion:

According to the question;

  • Water was initially at room temperature.
  • We know by convention, ammonium nitrate is a cold substance.

In essence, the heat liberated from the system must have been absorbed by the water so that the outside of the container after mixing becomes cold.

This is so because water has a high specific heat capacity.

The material that absorbs the heat of the system is water owing to its high specific heat capacity.

The specific heat capacity of a substance refers to the amount of heat that is capable of increasing the temperature of 1 Kg of a body by 1 K. The higher the specific heat capacity, the more the amount of heat that the body can absorb without temperature change.

The material that absorbs the heat of the system is water because water has a higher specific heat capacity than all the other materials present.

Why do covalent bonds form between elements with similar electronegativity?
sesenic [268]

A COVALENT BOND, FORMS BETWEEN ELEMENTS WITH SIMILAR  ELECTRONEGATIVITY AS SHARING OF ELECTRON PAIRS BETWEEN ATOMS IS EASIER AS THEY ARE IDENTICAL.

Explanation:

Bonding atoms with similar electronegativity values form covalent bonds.

A covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.

Covalent bonds form between two nonmetal atoms with identical or relatively close electronegativity values

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons, also it is the strength an atom has to attract a bonding pair of electrons to itself.

Pure covalent bonds result when two atoms of the same electronegativity bond. This occurs only when two atoms of the same element bond with each other.
