Ubstances x and y are both nonpolar. if the volatility of x is higher than that of y, what is the best explanation? x’s molecules experience stronger dipole-dipole forces than y’s molecules. y’s molecules experience stronger dipole-dipole forces than x’s molecules. x’s molecules experience stronger london dispersion forces than y’s molecules. y’s molecules experience stronger london dispersion forces than x’s molecules.

answer: e.   sour taste

explanation: acids are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. acids are sour in taste. example: hcl

bases are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions or accepts ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. bases are bitter in taste. bases are slippery in nature.

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.
