Why does common table salt have a high melting point

Chemistry
1 answer:
tankabanditka [31]3 years ago
5 0

Sodium chloride has a high melting and boiling point. There are strong electrostatic attractions between the positive and negative ions, and it takes a lot of heat energy to overcome them. Ionic substances all have high melting and boiling points

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

It makes the pasta to get hot faster and boil quicker.

Explanation:

Adding salt to water actually raises the boiling point of the water, due to a phenomenon called boiling point elevation. Essentially, adding any non-volatile solute such as salt to a liquid causes a decrease in the liquid’s vapour pressure. A liquid boils when the vapour pressure above it equals atmospheric pressure, so a lower vapour pressure means you need a higher temperature to boil the water. The reason salt makes water boil faster has to do with specific heat capacities, or the energy it takes to raise the temperature of a substance. Salt ions dissolved in water bind to water molecules, holding them stable and making it harder for them to move around. As a result, the non-salt bound water molecules receive more of the energy provided by the stove, and therefore they get hot faster and boil quicker.

How does the crystalline structure of a metal differ from the structure of an ionic compound, such as sodium chloride or cesium
Sergio [31]

Answer:

The metal cube lattice is made of only one kind of atom.

Explanation:

As we know that metallic crystals are made up of only one kind of element.  A metal crystal is actually a huge sea of positive charges embedded in the layers of negative charges (electrons). The whole crystal is made up of same kind of atoms, e.g crystals of gold, crystals of iron.

If we talk about structure of metallic crystal, it can be body centered cubic, simple cubic, hexagonal or close cubic packing.

Now, coming towards the ionic crystals, we know that they are basically the crystals of ionic compounds like sodium chloride or cesium chloride. These crystals are formed due to ionic bonding between two or more than two kinds of elements/atoms. It is not possible for an ionic crystal to be composed of only one kind of atom. As far as structure is concerned, they can have different structure based on bonding between atoms in an ionic compound, e.g NaCl has octahedral geometry.

Therefore, it is very evident that best option is A.

On the basis of the information below, the dissolution of FeF2(s) in acidic solution is A. thermodynamically favorable, because
antoniya [11.8K]

Since K3 is greater than 1, the reaction is thermodynamically favorable.

Data;

  • FeF2 is in an acidic solution
  • K2 > 1 is thermodynamically favorable
  • k3 > 1 is not thermodynamically favorable
  • K1<1 is not thermodynamically favorable

<h3>Hess Law</h3>

This states that the heat change in a given chemical reaction is the same irrespective of the number of process in which the reaction is effected.

Using Hess Law;

rxn_3 = rxn_1 * 2rxn_2\\k_3 = k_1 * k_2^2\\k_3 = 2*10^-^6 * (1*10^3)^2\\k_3 = 2

substituting this using Gibbs law,

\delta G^0_3 = -RT\ln K_3\\\delta G^0_3 < 0

Since K3 is greater than 1, the reaction is thermodynamically favorable.

Which gas diffuses most rapidly when they are all at the same temperature and pressure? He, O2, NH3, H2S, or They all diffuse at
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

He

Explanation:

From Graham's law of diffusion, lighter or less dense gas tends to diffuse faster than denser gas amongst the list, He is the lightest gas and so will diffuse faster
