- 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_forwardWhat possible uses exist for the natural gas liquids that are removed from natural gas during its processing?arrow_forwardThe equilibrium constant for the reaction, 3 H2(g) + N2(g)= 2NH3(g), at a given temperature is 1.4 x 10–7.
