When chemists convert ethene open paren cap c sub 2 cap h sub 2 close paren to ethanol open paren CH sub 3 CH sub 2 OH close paren , they have a mixture of the two gaseous substances. Why do chemists then lower the temperature of the mixture?

A
to collect liquid ethanol and leave ethene as a gas because ethene has stronger London dispersion forces
B
to collect liquid ethanol and leave ethene as a gas because ethanol has hydrogen bonds
C
to collect liquid ethene and leave ethanol as a gas because ethanol has stronger London dispersion forces
D
to collect liquid ethene and leave ethanol as a gas because ethene has stronger dipole-dipole forces

Consider the chemical reaction in equilibrium. cap h sub 2 plus cap i sub 2 plus heat if and only if 2 HI What will happen to the chemical equilibrium if the temperature of the system is increased?

A
The chemical equilibrium will be lost permanently with a change of temperature.
B
The direction of the chemical equilibrium will shift to the left, favoring the reverse reaction.
C
The direction of the chemical equilibrium will shift to the right, favoring the forward reaction.
D
The chemical equilibrium will not be affected by an increase in temperature.

B
Li and cap o : Oxygen easily loses electrons, and lithium gains them.
C
cap p and Cl : Phosphorus easily loses electrons, and chlorine gains them.

a mixture of two common elements
B
a pure substance that is made up of different elements

9

Which statement best compares the energy involved in melting with the energy involved in boiling for a given liquid?

A
Energy is removed from the particles in each change, but more energy is removed in melting than in boiling because the attractions are weaker.
B
Energy is added to the particles in each change, but boiling requires more energy than melting because the attractions must be completely overcome.
C
Energy is added to the particles in each change, but melting requires more energy than boiling because the attractions must be completely overcome.
D
Energy is removed from the particles in each change, but more energy is removed in boiling than in melting because the attractions are weaker.
