Here are the correct answers to your questions based on the information provided:
Question 4: A) Based on the differences in electronegativities, with which atom is cesium (Cs) most likely to form an ionic bond?
- Answer: Cs-Cl = 2.3 (A higher difference indicates a stronger likelihood of forming an ionic bond.)
Question 5: A) Which statement is the best description of the energy found in molecules of water?
- Answer: Hotter molecules have more kinetic energy. (Kinetic energy of molecules increases with temperature.)
Question 6: A) When potassium permanganate and glycerol react, the potential energy of the products is less than the potential energy of the reactants. Which statement about this reaction is correct?
- Answer: The reaction is exothermic. (Exothermic reactions release energy, resulting in products with lower potential energy.)
Question 7: A) Hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide react to produce water and sodium chloride in an endothermic reaction. Which statement must be true of the reaction?
- Answer: More bond energy is absorbed on the reactants side than is released on the products side. (In an endothermic reaction, the energy required to break the bonds exceeds the energy released forming product bonds.)
Question 8: A) What does the graph described above represent?
- Answer: An endothermic reaction. (The reactants have lower potential energy than the products, indicating that energy is absorbed.)
Question 9: A) Which type of reaction has a higher activation energy? Which one takes more energy to break up the bonds of the reactants?
- Answer: Endothermic reactions have a higher activation energy. Endothermic reactions require more energy to break up the bonds of the reactants. (Endothermic reactions typically entail more energy input to initiate.)
Question 10: A) Why is thermal energy (heat) required to freeze ice into crystals?
- Answer: Heat must be released by the reactants in order to convert from the reactants. (The process of freezing involves the removal of heat.)
Question 11: A) Which statement about the system at equilibrium is correct?
- Answer: Cooling a purple solution will turn it pink. (Shifting the equilibrium left with a decrease in temperature favors the pink side.)
Question 12: A) Why are rubber and metal both useful while making wire?
- Answer: Both are flexible, but one conducts electricity while the other insulates. (Rubber insulates; metal conducts.)
Question 13: A) How many atoms of oxygen will be found in the product(s) of the reaction?
- Answer: 12 (In the reaction equation, there are 6 H2O contributing 6 oxygens and 6 CO2 contributing 12 oxygens total.)
Question 14: A) How does the balance equation above demonstrate the law of conservation of matter?
- Answer: The number of atoms, type of elements, and mass of reactants and products are equal. (This is a correct demonstration of the law of conservation.)
