The answer is C: hydrogen bonds. Explanation: The surface tension and the capacity for heat storage in water are due to its hydrogen bonds. Water molecules have a strong attraction to one another through hydrogen bonding. These bonds are continuously forming and breaking within water molecules. The result of this hydrogen bonding is surface tension, which allows water to have a greater capacity for heat retention. Consequently, during the night, the temperature on Earth drops much faster than it does for water, as water gradually releases heat, helping maintain a moderate atmospheric temperature at night.

Which element can form a chloride with a general formula of MCl2 or MCl3
lorasvet [2515]
The oxidation state numbercan aid in identifying the unknown element present in both compounds. They denote the number of electrons that are either donated, received, or shared to yield compounds.

Remember the fundamental principles governing oxidation numbers.

1. In a neutral compound, the total of all oxidation numbers is zero.
2. Chlorine, bromine, and iodine typically exhibit an oxidation number of -1(unless paired with fluorine and oxygen)

Assume the oxidation state for element Mis designated as x.
Referring to rule 2, chlorine possesses an oxidation state of -1.

Now, for the compound MCl₂ (which is neutral), the equation can be formulated as
x + (2 * -1)= 0 ⇒ x₁= +2

For MCl₃, the corresponding equation is
x + (3 * -1)=  0 ⇒ x₂= +3

This indicates that the elementhas two distinct oxidation statesin its compounds, which are +2and +3.

The identified element is iron (Fe), as it shows +2 and +3 oxidation states across these compounds.

Memorizing this is essential. Regrettably, there isn't a simpler method to tackle these oxidation states.

The final answer is iron (Fe).

Acrylonitrile () is the starting material for many synthetic carpets and fabrics. It is produced by the following reaction. If 1
alisha [2704]

2C3H6 (g) + 2NH3 (g) + 3O2 (G) -> 2C3H3N (g) + 6H2O (g)

To begin, this isn't really a chemistry forum, but anyway.

This represents a limiting reagent scenario.

Set it up as a Dimensional Analysis issue.

Begin with your desired outcome.

Your goal is to find the mass of acrylonitrile (C3H3N)

so you should initiate with that (I'll abbreviate Acrylonitrile as ACL for convenience)

(g) = (53 g of ACL/1mol ACL) (2 mols ACL/2 mol C3H6)/ (1mol C3H6/42 grams) (15.0 grams)

If you calculate that, you will find that 15 grams of C3H6 yields 18.9 grams of acrylonitrile produced.

Utilize the same approach for the remaining two reactants.

So, I figured it out, and for

oxygen, I calculated 11.04 grams

and for ammonia, I calculated 15.29 grams

This means that the maximum possible production is 11.04 grams, since to create any additional amount, more O2 would be necessary, but with only 10 grams available, that's the upper limit for this reaction.

The other two reactants are in excess.

Please rate as brainliest!

How many molecules are in 0.25 grams of dinitrogen pentoxide?
eduard [2509]
To determine the answer, you need to understand the formula for converting grams to moles, which will then lead you to the number of molecules.
The result is 2 moles of N2O5. The process is as follows:
(0.25 g N2O5) (1 mol/ 108 g)=2.31 molecules
Thus, the final answer is 2 molecules.

A gas sample of argon, maintained at constant temperature, occupies a volume of 500. l at 4.00 atm. what is the new volume if th
lorasvet [2515]
Boyle's law describes the relationship between gas pressure and volume. 
It asserts that at a constant temperature, pressure is inversely proportional to gas volume.
PV = k
where P represents pressure, V denotes volume, and k is a constant. 
P1V1 = P2V2
where the parameters for the initial condition are on the left, and the parameters for the second condition appear on the right side of the formula.
By substituting values into the equation: 4.00 atm x 500 L = 8.0 atm x V
V calculates to 250 L.
Thus, the new volume becomes 250 L.
