Answer:
D. Gases were released to the atmosphere
Explanation:
In accordance to the law of conservation of mass, the total amount of reactants must equate the total amount of products at the end of the reaction because matter can not be lost or created. However, certain changes like gas evolution, formation of precipitate etc. indicates the occurrence of a chemical reaction.
In a chemical reaction, the total mass of the product(s) would be less than the total weight of the reactant(s) because GASES, which constituted part of the mass of the reaction, WERE RELEASED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE. However, if the mass of the gas released can be accounted for, the amount of reactants and products must balance.
Intermolecular forces of attraction hold the molecules together. These forces determine the physical properties of substances like melting and boiling points. There are five types of intermolecular forces: Hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole interactions, ionic interactions, ion-dipole interactions and dispersion forces.
Hydrogen bonding is a stronger force of attraction between hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom (F, N, and O). So, water molecules exhibit hydrogen bonding.
In carbon dioxide molecules, although each C=O is polar the molecule as a whole will be non polar due to symmetry. Therefore, the only intermolecular forces in CO2 will be dispersion forces.
Hence, Hydrogen bonding exists between water molecules but not carbon dioxide molecules.
Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
In liquids, molecules are held by slightly less strong intermolecular forces of attraction as compared to solids.
Hence, molecules of a liquid are able to slide past each other as they have more kinetic energy than the molecules of a solid.
As a result, liquids are able to occupy the shape of container in which they are placed. Also, liquids have fixed volume but no fixed shape.
Thus, we can conclude that liquids have a variable shape and a fixed volume.
