Determine whether each of the following statements is true or false. If the statement is false, modify and rewrite it so that it is a true statement.
a. When a molecule has two, degenerate, “infrared active”, vibrational modes, the two vibrational modes will show absorptions at different frequencies in the infrared spectrum.
b. For a given substance, strong intermolecular forces between molecules of the substance can cause peak broadening of some of the absorptions in the infrared spectrum of the substance.

Bonding is at the heart of chemistry. In chemical reactions, bonds are broken and new bonds are made. Individual atoms break free from their original bonding partners and interact and form bonds with a new bonding partner. All this happens nearly instantaneously. The interaction between the orbitals in two bonding atoms leads to molecular orbitals.
After thoroughly reviewing atomic orbital theory and molecular orbital theory, respond to the following:

In a calorimeter, we added 50 mL of 1M HCl to 50 mL of 1.1 M NH3 which produces NH4Cl. If the temperature increased 5.0 degrees Celsius, what is the molar enthalpy? We weren't given a heat capacity for the calorimeter but it was made out of a glass beaker and the heat capacity of glass is 0.840 J/goC found on google.
