Why does common table salt have a high melting point

Chemistry
1 answer:
tankabanditka [31]4 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

2. Write the formula or name for the following
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Diphosphorus pentoxide

Carbon dichloride

BCl3

N2H4

Explanation:

These are all covalent compounds. To name covalent compounds, you add prefixes to the beginning of their names depending on what the subscript is of each element. The prefixes are:

1: Mono

2: Di

3: Tri

4: Tetra

5: Penta

6: Hexa

7: Hepta

8: Octa

9: Nona

10: Deca

For example, since the first one is Phopsphorus with a 2 next to it, you add the prefix Di to it.

If the first element in the compound only has one, meaning no number next to it, you do not say mono. This is why we just say "Carbon" for the second one instead of "Monocarbon."

Finally, you always have to end the second element in the compound with "ide." So, "chlorine" becomes "chloride," "oxygen" becomes "oxide," and so on.

How does the smell of baking cookies diffuse through the house
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

Smells travel in the air by diffusion. Because molecules are always moving, some molecules leave the bread as it is baking. They are vented with the excess heat from the oven. These tiny molecules of bread travel through the air throughout the house to our noses.

Is there a state of matter in which the molecules are not moving at all? What is this phenomenon known as?
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

There is no possible physical way for there to be an object without the molecules moving. There is a temperature called <u><em>absolute zero</em></u>,* however, there will always be some form of heat to touch everything, so nothing will ever be "frozen solid."

  • (*) By international agreement, absolute zero is defined as precisely; 0 K on the Kelvin scale, which is a thermodynamic (absolute) temperature scale; and –273.15 degrees Celsius on the Celsius scale.

What is the equilibrium partial pressure of water vapor above a mixture of 62.9 g H2O and 33.2 g HOCH2CH2OH at 55 °C. The partia
bija089 [108]

Answer : The partial pressure of H_2O is 102.3 mmHg.

Explanation :

As per question,

Mass of H_2O = 62.9 g

Mass of HOCH_2CH_2OH = 33.2 g

Molar mass of H_2O = 18 g/mole

Molar mass of HOCH_2CH_2OH = 62 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of H_2O and HOCH_2CH_2OH.

\text{Moles of }H_2O=\frac{\text{Mass of }H_2O}{\text{Molar mass of }H_2O}=\frac{62.9g}{18g/mole}=3.49mole

\text{Moles of }HOCH_2CH_2OH=\frac{\text{Mass of }HOCH_2CH_2OH}{\text{Molar mass of }HOCH_2CH_2OH}=\frac{33.2g}{62g/mole}=0.536mole

Now we have to calculate the mole fraction of H_2O and HOCH_2CH_2OH.

\text{Mole fraction of }H_2O=\frac{\text{Moles of }H_2O}{\text{Moles of }H_2O+\text{Moles of }HOCH_2CH_2OH}=\frac{3.49}{3.49+0.536}=0.867

\text{Mole fraction of }HOCH_2CH_2OH=\frac{\text{Moles of }HOCH_2CH_2OH}{\text{Moles of }H_2O+\text{Moles of }HOCH_2CH_2OH}=\frac{0.536}{3.49+0.536}=0.134

Now we have to partial pressure of H_2O.

According to the Raoult's law,

p^o=X\times p_T

where,

p^o = partial pressure of water vapor

p_T = total pressure of gas

X = mole fraction of water vapor

p_{H_2O}=X_{H_2O}\times p_T

p_{H_2O}=0.867\times 118.0mmHg=102.3mmHg

Therefore, the partial pressure of H_2O is 102.3 mmHg.
