Which of the following statements is TRUE? Which of the following statements is TRUE? Energy is given off when the attraction between two molecules is broken. Increasing the pressure on a solid usually causes it to become a liquid. Intermolecular forces are generally stronger than bonding forces. The potential energy of molecules decrease as they get closer to one another. None of the above are true.

The answer to the question: choose the correct statement.  a) when ethane reacts with fluorine gas the product is less stable.b) addition reactions of unsaturated hydrocarbons and halogens requires a high activation energy.  c)the double covalent bond within unsaturated hydrocarbons requires a lot of energy to break.  d)the double covalent bond within unsaturated hydrocarbons can be broken easily.is: a) when ethane reacts with fluorine gas the product is less stable.

Ithink the correct answer is 3

Diagram is attached below

2poclâ‚(g) ⇜ 2 pclâ‚(g) + oâ‚‚(g) â†gâ° = (2 mol)î”gfâ°(pclâ‚) – (2 mol)î”gfâ°(poclâ‚) = (2 mol)(–270 –(–502) kj/mol) â†gâ° = + 464 kj = â†hⰠ– tî”sâ° î”sâ° = 179 j/k ⇒ â†hâ° = â†gâ° + (298 k)(179 j/k) = –411 kj assuming that î”hâ° and î”sâ° do not depend on temperature, the temperature at which â†gâ° = 0 is where t = â†hâ°/î”sâ° = (–411 kj)/(0.179 j/k) = 2294 k. at that temp. keq = 1 for the reaction.
