The replacing of sodium hydroxide with potassium hydroxide
(KOH) to the reaction will least affect the organic product that forms.
Potassium hydroxide is an
inorganic compound with the formula KOH, and is commonly called caustic potash. Along with sodium hydroxide, this colorless
solid is a prototypical strong base.
The atoms undergo chemical changes.
New substances may be a product of the reaction.
Answer is: the combined ionic bond strength of CrCl₂ and intermolecular forces between water molecules.
When chromium chloride (CrCl₂) is dissolved in water, the temperature of the water increases, heat of the solution is endothermic.
Dissociation of chromium chloride in water: CrCl₂(aq) → Cr²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq).
Energy (the lattice energy) is required to pull apart the oppositely charged ions in chromium chloride.
The heat of hydration is liberated energy when the separated ions (in this example chromium cations and chlorine anions) attract polar water molecules.
Because the lattice energy is higher than the heat of the hydration (endothermic reaction), we can conclude that bonds between ions are strong (the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions).
Answer:
Gas:
- No fixed shape or volume

- Flows in all the directions
Liquid:
- No fixed shape but has volume
- Molecules are closely packed
- Always flows from higher to lower level
