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.

Urea (CH4N2O) is a common fertilizer that can be synthesized by the reaction of ammonia (NH3) with carbon dioxide as follows:
Nezavi [6.7K]

The theoretical yield of urea : = 227.4 kg

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

2NH3(aq)+CO2(aq)→CH4N2O(aq)+H2O(l)

128.9 kg of ammonia

211.4 kg of carbon dioxide

166.3 kg of urea.

Required

The theoretical yield of urea

Solution

mol Ammonia (MW=17 g/mol)

=128.9 : 17

= 7.58 kmol

mol CO₂(MW=44 g/mol) :

= 211.4 : 44

= 4.805 kmol

Mol : coefficient of reactant , NH₃ : CO₂ :

= 7.58/2 : 4.805/1

=3.79 : 4.805

Ammonia as limiting reactant(smaller ratio)

Mol urea based on mol Ammonia :

=1/2 x 7.58

=3.79 kmol

Mass urea :

=3.79 kmol x 60 g/mol

= 227.4 kg

Gamma rays are often used to kill microorganisms in food, in an attempt to make the food safer. Some people contend that this ir
kumpel [21]
<span>While treating food with gamma rays kills microorganism by damaging their DNA, the energy of gamma rays rips off electrons from atoms hence ionizing them (causing free radicals). However, gamma rays do not make the food atoms radioactive. The body has a natural mechanism of riding the body of free radicals. However, large quantities of radicals in the body can cause damage.</span>

2Na2SO4 :How many atoms for each element are in the formula?<br><br> S=<br> O=<br> Na=
yuradex [85]

Answer:

S=  2(1)  = 2

O=  2(4)  = 8

Na= 2(2)  = 4

Explanation:

The given compound is:

          2Na₂SO₄  

An element is a distinct substance that cannot be split up into simpler substances.

So;

  Number of atoms of elements here are:

S=  2(1)  = 2

O=  2(4)  = 8

Na= 2(2)  = 4

What is the relationship between the concentration and the rate of the reaction?
zalisa [80]

Answer:

When the concentration of all the reactants increases, more molecules or ions interact to form new compounds, and the rate of reaction increases. When the concentration of a reactant decreases, there are fewer of that molecule or ion present, and the rate of reaction decreases.
