- Are changes in state physical or chemical changes? Explain. What type of forces must be overcome to melt or vaporize a substance (are these forces intramolecular or intermolecular)? Define the molar heat of fusion and molar heat of vaporization. Why is the molar heat of vaporization of water so much larger than its molar heat of fusion? Why does the boiling point of a liquid vary with altitude?arrow_forwardConsider the chemical equation and equilibrium constant for the formation of ammonia gas; N2(g) + 3 H2(g) ↔2 NH3(g), K = 3.7 x 108 at 25 °CDetermine the equilibrium constant at 25 °C for the reaction NH3(g) ↔ 0.5 N2(g) + 1.5 H2(g).arrow_forwardExamining the crystal structure of CsCl (Caesium Chloride), the Cs+ions form the 8 corners of a cube and the Cl−ion is a the center of the cube.
