Asample of 1.8 grams of z is dissolved into 500 grams of water which is in a styrofoam coffee cup. the temperature is monitored and is found to rise from 23.944◦c to 24.44◦c. what is ∆hsolution for substance z? assume no heat is lost/gained by the cup itself. the specific heat of water is 4.184 j/g· ◦c and the molecular weight of z is 134 g/mol. answer in units of kj/mol of z.

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
