Give explanations for the large drops in melting point from C to Si and from Ge to Sn.

Chemistry
1 answer:
____ [38]1 year ago
3 0

As we move down the group, the metallic bond becomes more stable and the formation of forming covalent bond decreases down the group due to the large size of elements.

Covalent and metallic bonding leads to higher melting points. Due to a decrease in attractive forces from carbon to lead there is a drop in melting point.

Carbon forms large covalent molecules than silicon and hence has a higher melting point than silicon.

Similarly, Ge also forms a large number of covalent bonds and has a smaller size as compared to that of Sn. Hence melting point decreases from Ge to Sn.

The order will be C>Si>Ge>Pb>Sn.

Calculate the number of chlorine atoms that are present in 66.05 g of dichloromethane, ch2cl2. when you have the number, take it
Whitepunk [10]
From the periodic table:
mass of carbon = 12 grams
mass of hydrogen = 1 gram
mass of chlorine = 35.5 grams
Therefore,
molar mass of CH2Cl2 = 12 + 2(1) + 2(35.5) = 85 grams

number of moles = mass / molar mass
number of moles of CH2Cl2 = 66.05 / 85 = 0.777 moles

One mole of CH2Cl2 contains two moles of Cl and each chlorine mole has Avogadro's number of atoms in it.
Therefore,
number of chlorine atoms in 0.777 moles of CH2Cl2 can be calculated as follows:
number of atoms = 0.777 * 2 * 6.022 * 10^23 = 9.358 * 10^23 atoms

Now, we will take log base 10 for this number:
log (9.358 * 10^23) = 23.97119

Calculate the molarity of a solution with 114.95 grams of sodium dissolved in 2 L of water. ​
koban [17]

Answer:

The molarity of a solution is 2.5 M

Explanation:

Molarity is a concentration unit that describes how much of a solution is dissolved in solution.

Molarity of a solution can found by using the formula,

Molarity (M) = (moles of solute)/(Liters of Solution).

Given, mass of Sodium = 114.95 grams.

Volume of water = 2 L.

Here, Sodium is solute as it is dissolved in water, which is the solvent.

Moles of Sodium(solute) can be found by using the formula,

Number of Moles = mass/Molecular weight.

mass of Sodium = 114.95 grams.

Molecular weight = 22.989 grams

Number of Moles of Sodium(solute) =114.95/22.989 = 5.

Substituting the values in the formula, we get,

M = 5/2 = 2.5 M

kondor19780726 [428]

Cocaine is a stimulant substance obtained from the leaves of two Coca species native to South America, Erythroxylum coca and Erythroxylum novogranatense.

<h3>What is a coca?</h3>

Coca is a plant. The leaves of the coca plant are the source of cocaine, which is an illegal that is used nasally, injected, or smoked for mind-altering effects.

Cocaine is also an FDA-approved Schedule II . This means cocaine can be prescribed by a healthcare provider, but the process is strictly regulated.

<h3>What happens when you smoke coca leaves?</h3>

The smoking of coca paste causes four distinct successive phases of mental disorder: euphoria, dysphoria, hallucinosis and paranoid psychosis. It can produce severe intoxication, prolonged or relapsing psychosis and, in some cases, end of life.

Carbon can form large number of organic compounds why
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Carbon is the only element that can form so many different compounds because each carbon atom can form four chemical bonds to other atoms, and because the carbon atom is just the right, small size to fit in comfortably as parts of very large molecules.
