The melting of ice is represented by the following equation. h2o (s) ⇒ h2o (l) what would be the best argument against writing this in the form a chemical equation like this? a) there are no new products formed in this process. b) chemical reactions involve only one state of matter. c) it requires energy to melt ice and turn it into water. d) there are no coefficients in front of the product or reactants.

Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In the given reaction it is shown that there occurs a change in state of water molecule from solid to liquid state.

When ice melts then basically heat is absorbed by it due to which its molecules gain kinetic energy. As a result, the atoms of water start to move from their initial position.

Hence, they collide rapidly with each other leading to change in state of ice from solid to liquid.

Therefore, we can conclude that it requires energy to melt ice and turn it into water would be the best argument against writing this in the form a chemical equation like this.

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
