Chapter 22, Problem 22.33E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The possibility of the presence of silicones on any real surface is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The man-made polymers containing silicon-oxygen chains with organic groups attached to them are called silicones. They possess distinctive surface properties due to their low surface energies.

A diamond is said to last forever. Many believe this eternal existence is related to its hardness and crystalline structure. But, in actuality, it is related to the chemical process and associated energy changes that keep a diamond in its endless form. Based upon a law of thermodynamics, the conversion of a crystalline carbon (e.g., a diamond) to an amorphous carbon (e.g., graphite) is exergonic under normal atmospheric conditions and should spontaneously happen when diamonds are moved from underground to the surface at sea level. In theory, diamonds should only exist under high pressure (> 1 atm) between rocks and never above ground, out in the open atmosphere (~1 atm pressure). But, in reality, when we wear diamond jewelry, we never see a diamond disintegrate. A. There is a reason to explain why this spontaneous reaction (diamond ---> graphite + energy) never occurs. And this reason is related to the activation energy requirement needed for this reaction to move forward. Can…
A 7.40 g sample of solid Ni(CN), ·4H,0 was heated such that the water turned to steam and was driven off. Assuming ideal behavior, what volume would that steam occupy at 1.00 bar and 100 °C? It may be useful to consult the periodic table. volume: L
