Answer-   The correct option among all five choices would be option E.

Explanation- The surface tension or the boiling point or the melting point of any fluid or liquid depends on the cohesive forces present between the molecules.

In case of water Cohesive force between molecules is strong because of the positive force of one molecule attracting the negative force of another  molecule which results in  water becoming strongly cohesive thereby resulting in high boiling Point high melting point and surface tension.

The sentence which best explains the high melting point, boiling point and surface tension of water is (E) “The negative side of each water molecule is attracted to the positive sides of nearby molecules.”

Answer: E

Explanation

The high melting point, boiling point and surface tension of water is because water is a polar molecule.

In polar molecules, the elements which combine have the electronegativity < 1.7.

So for this reason, the shared electrons in polar molecules will not be shared equally among the two elements.

The shared electron will be attracted towards the element which is more electronegative among them.

So an integral charge is not attained by the ions in the polar molecules but they will attain partial charges.

This means some of the region of the electronegative element will be behaving like negative ion while the other region of the electronegative element will be behaving like a positive ion.

The same case occurs for electropositive element also.  

Thus the negative side of  each water molecule leading to formation of bonding.

This leads to polar nature of water molecules which is the reason behind the high melting point, boiling point and surface tension of water.

A 15.0-L rigid container was charged with 0.500 atm of kryp‑ ton gas and 1.50 atm of chlorine gas at 350.8C. The krypton and chl
Alecsey [184]

Answer: 32.94 g

Explanation: It's stoichiometry problem so balanced equation is required. The balanced equation is given below:

Kr+2Cl_2\rightarrow KrCl_4

From the balanced equation, krypton and chlorine react in 1:2 mol ratio. We will calculate the moles of each reactant gas using ideal gas law equation(PV = nRT) and then using mol ratio the limiting reactant is figured out that helps to calculate the amount of the product formed.

for Krypton, P = 0.500 atm and for chlorine, P = 1.50 atm

V = 15.0 L

T = 350.8 + 273 = 623.8 K

For krypton, n=\frac{0.500*15.0}{0.0821*623.8}

n = 0.146 moles

for chlorine, n=\frac{1.50*15.0}{0.0821*623.8}

n = 0.439

From the mole ratio, 1 mol of krypton reacts with 2 moles of chlorine. So 0.146 moles of krypton will react with 2 x 0.146 = 0.292 moles of chlorine.

Since 0.439 moles of chlorine are available, it is present in excess and hence the limiting reactant is krypton.

So, the amount of product formed is calculated from moles of krypton.

Molar mass of krypton tetrachloride is 225.61 gram per mol.

There is 1:1 mol ratio between krypton and krypton tetrachloride.

0.146molKr(\frac{1molKrCl_4}{molKr})(\frac{225.61gKrCl_4}{1molKrCl_4})

= 32.94 g of KrCl_4

So, 32.94 g of the product will form.

Find the enthalpy of neutralization of HCl and NaOH. 87 cm3 of 1.6 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid was neutralized by 87 cm3 of 1.6 m
Vesna [10]

Answer : The correct option is, (A) -101.37 KJ

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of HCl and NaOH.

\text{Moles of HCl}=\text{Concentration of HCl}\times \text{Volume of solution}=1.6mole/L\times 0.087L=0.1392mole

\text{Moles of NaOH}=\text{Concentration of NaOH}\times \text{Volume of solution}=1.6mole/L\times 0.087L=0.1392mole

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

HCl+NaOH\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O

From the balanced reaction we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of HCl neutralizes by 1 mole of NaOH

So, 0.1392 mole of HCl neutralizes by 0.1392 mole of NaOH

Thus, the number of neutralized moles = 0.1392 mole

Now we have to calculate the mass of water.

As we know that the density of water is 1 g/ml. So, the mass of water will be:

The volume of water = 87ml+87ml=174ml

\text{Mass of water}=\text{Density of water}\times \text{Volume of water}=1g/ml\times 174ml=174g

Now we have to calculate the heat absorbed during the reaction.

q=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})

where,

q = heat absorbed = ?

c = specific heat of water = 4.18J/g^oC

m = mass of water = 174 g

T_{final} = final temperature of water = 317.4 K

T_{initial} = initial temperature of metal = 298 K

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

q=174g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (317.4-298)K

q=14110.008J=14.11KJ

Thus, the heat released during the neutralization = -14.11 KJ

Now we have to calculate the enthalpy of neutralization.

\Delta H=\frac{q}{n}

where,

\Delta H = enthalpy of neutralization = ?

q = heat released = -14.11 KJ

n = number of moles used in neutralization = 0.1392 mole

\Delta H=\frac{-14.11KJ}{0.1392mole}=-101.37KJ/mole

Therefore, the enthalpy of neutralization is, -101.37 KJ
