Which best explains why water has a high specific heat? hydrogen bonds decrease the amount of energy that is required for the temperature to change. hydrogen bonds increase the amount of energy that is required for the temperature to change. ion-dipole interactions increase the amount of energy that is required for the temperature to change. ion-dipole interactions decrease the amount of energy that is required for the temperature to change.

Steam reforming of methane ( ch4) produces "synthesis gas," a mixture of carbon monoxide gas and hydrogen gas, which is the starting point for many important industrial chemical syntheses. an industrial chemist studying this reaction fills a 1.5 l flask with 3.5 atm of methane gas and 1.3 atm of water vapor at 43.0°c. he then raises the temperature, and when the mixture has come to equilibrium measures the partial pressure of carbon monoxide gas to be 1 .0 atm. calculate the pressure equilibrium constant for the steam reforming of methane at the final temperature of the mixture. round your answer to 2 significant digits.
