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.

What is the value of quantum numbers (n, l, ml, ms) of 2p^3?​
eduard

Answer:

Explanation:

First digit of the 2p^3  gives you value of n,  in this case its = 2, So, n= 2

Second alphabet gives you the value of l,

l=0 =s

l=1 =p

l=3=d

l=4=f

since  "p" is the alphabet  in 2p^3, so in your case lt shoudlbe = 1 right?

ml= -l to +l , that is -1, 0, +1

Ms= +1/2  or -1/2 alaways remains same foe evrything.

Phosphoric acid is neutralized by potassium hydroxide according to the following reaction:
rusak2 [61]
Balance the reaction first:

3KOH + H3PO4 —> K3PO4 + 3H2O

So for every mol of H3PO4, you need 3 mol of OH- to fully neutralize the acid, since H3PO4 is polyprotic.

0.0200 L KOH • (2.000 mol KOH / L KOH) • (1 mol H3PO4 / 3 mol KOH) = 0.0133 mol H3PO4

Divide this by the volume of H3PO4 to get the concentration.

0.0133 mol H3PO4 / 0.0250 L = 0.532 M H3PO4
