Answer: Hydrogen bond.

Explanation: Water is a polar covalent molecule in which two hydrogen atoms are bonded to central oxygen atom via single covalent bonds. So, metallic, nonpolar covalent or ionic choices are not correct. The only correct choice is hydrogen.

Hydrogen bonding is present in ice as we know that hydrogen bonding takes place when hydrogen is bonded to the more electron negative atoms(F, O or N). Density of ice decreases as the molecules are farther from each other due to the presence of hydrogen bonding. This hydrogen bonding breaks when ice melts to water and the molecules comes closer.

VikaD [51]

Answer : The value of $\Delta G^o$ and K is, -180 kJ/mol and $3.6\times 10^{31}$

Explanation :

The balanced cell reaction will be,

$Pb(s)+2Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Pb^{2+}(aq)+2Ag(g)$

The half-cell reactions are:

Oxidation reaction (anode) : $Pb(s)\rightarrow Pb^{2+}(aq)+2e^-$

Reduction reaction (cathode) : $2Ag^+(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow 2Ag(g)$

Relationship between standard Gibbs free energy and standard electrode potential follows:

$\Delta G^o=-nFE^o_{cell}$

where,

$\Delta G^o$ = standard Gibbs free energy

F = Faraday constant = 96500 C

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

$E^o_{cell}$ = standard electrode potential of the cell = 0.93 V

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$\Delta G^o=-2\times 96500\times 0.93$

$\Delta G^o=-179490J/mol=-179.49kJ/mol\approx -180kJ/mol$

Now we have to calculate the value of 'K'.

$\Delta G^o=-RT\ln K$

where,

$\Delta G_^o$ = standard Gibbs free energy = -180 kJ/mol

R = gas constant = $8.314\times 10^{-3}kJ/mole.K$

T = temperature = 298 K

K = equilibrium constant = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula 1, we get:

$-180kJ/mol=-(8.314\times 10^{-3}kJ/mole.K)\times (298K)\times \ln K$

$K=3.6\times 10^{31}$

Therefore, the value of $\Delta G^o$ and K is, -180 kJ/mol and $3.6\times 10^{31}$

What is the specific heat of a substance if 6527 J are required to raise the temperature of a 312 g sample by 15 degrees Celsius

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

1.395J/g°C

Explanation:

The following were obtained from the question:

Q = 6527J

M = 312g

ΔT = 15°C

C =?

Q = MCΔT

C = Q/MΔT

C = 6527/(312 x 15)

C = 1.395J/g°C

The specific heat capacity of the substance is 1.395J/g°C

A 25.0-mL sample of 0.150 M hydrocyanic acid is titrated with a 0.150 M NaOH solution. The Ka of hydrocyanic acid is 4.9 × 10-10

lara [203]

Answer:

The pOH = 1.83

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

volume of the sample = 25.0 mL

Molarity of hydrocyanic acid = 0.150 M

Molarity of NaOH = 0.150 M

Ka of hydrocyanic acid = 4.9 * 10^-10

Step 2: The balanced equation

HCN + NaOH → NaCN + H2O

Step 3: Calculate the number of moles hydrocyanic acid (HCN)

Moles HCN = molarity * volume

Moles HCN = 0.150 M * 0.0250 L

Moles HCN = 0.00375 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles NaOH

Moles NaOH = 0.150 M * 0.0305 L

Moles NaOH = 0.004575 moles

Step 4: Calculate the limiting reactant

0.00375 moles HCN will react with 0.004575 moles NaOH

HCN is the limiting reactant. It will completely be reacted. There will react 0.00375 moles NaOH. There will remain 0.004575 - 0.00375 = 0.000825 moles NaOH

Step 5: Calculate molarity of NaOH

Molarity NaOH = moles NaOH / volume

Molarity NaOH = 0.000825 moles / 0.0555 L

Molarity NaOH = 0.0149 M

Step 6: Calculate pOH

pOH = -log [OH-]

pOH = -log (0.0149)

pOH = 1.83

The pOH = 1.83
