In chemistry we often talk about how 'weak' or 'strong' bonds are. The stronger the bonds are between two atoms, the more (kinetic) energy is required to break them apart. This means that more heat is nee...

This question can be split up into two parts, and uses two key equations: 

It's always a good idea to look at what information we have been given already, and work out what we can do with it!...

Understanding the question:

The process of boiling is heating the mixture until the liquid turns into gas. This process requires breaking intermolecular forces (interactions between molecule...

n = PV/RT 102 000 ×(1.00 × 10−3) / 8.31 × 300 = 𝑛 n= (4.091456077x10-2) Mass = n x 17 = 0.696g (3 sig figs only)

Vegetable oils are reacted with hydrogen at 60 degrees Celcius in the presence of a nickel catalyst. This process is called hydrogenation. Vegetable oils contain carbon to carbon double bonds meaning they...
