In an ionic bond, what is bonding ?

There are two steps in the usual industrial preparation of acrylic acid, the immediate precursor of several useful plastics. in the first step, calcium carbide and water react to form acetylene and calcium hydroxide: cac2 (s) + 2h2o (g) → c2h2 (g) + caoh2 (s) =δh−414.kj in the second step, acetylene, carbon dioxide and water react to form acrylic acid: 6c2h2 (g) + 3co2 (g) + 4h2o (g) → 5ch2chco2h (g) =δh132.kj calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide from these reactions. round your answer to the nearest kj .

Asolution is made by dissolving 2.3 moles of sodium chloride (nacl) in 0.155 kilograms of water. if the molal boiling point constant for water (kb) is 0.51 °c/m, what would be the boiling point of this solution? show all the steps taken to solve this problem.

An experiment is conducted to see if cats preferred skim milk or 2% milk. a cup of skim milkwas put out for 5 kittens and then measured how much the kittens drank over the course of aday. following a cup of 2% milk was purout for the skittens and then masured how much thekittens drank over the course of a day. the same kittens were used and the milk was served atthe same temperature. it was discovered that the cats liked the 2% milk more than the skimmilk. what is the dependent variable in this experiment?
