An atom of lithium (li) and an atom of chlorine (cl) engage in a chemical reaction. which correctly describes the structure of the resulting chemical compound? hint: consider the class of each element. the chemical compound will have a network structure. the chemical compound will have triple bonds. the chemical compound will have a ball-and-stick structure. the chemical compound will have double bonds.

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. despite its name, silica gel is a solid. it is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of sio2. because water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, it acts as a desiccant. despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. predict the signs for δg, δh, and δs for the adsorption of water.

Scientists are often interested in knowing the molar heat of combustion – the heat released during the combustion of one mole of a substance. use the periodic table to find molar masses. how many moles of ethanol are present in the sample?
