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

1 answer:

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.

Finding the pH for [H+] = 9.4 * 10-3 M?

saul85 [17]

Answer:

pH = 2.0

Explanation:

To find the pH of a solution, take the -log[H+]. In this case, the -log(9.4 x 10^-3) equals 2.02687 which makes 2.0 when accounting for significant figures.

A photon has an energy of 2.93 × 10 to the power of -25 J. What is its frequency? What type of electromagnetic radiation is this

Svet_ta [14]

You need to know the energy frequency relationship for photons, which is thanks to Max Planck:

Photon Energy = Planck constant x Frequency

Rarranged:
Photon Energy / Planck Constant = Frequency

Planck Constant = 6.63x10^-34

2.93x10^-25 / 6.63x10^-34 = Frequency

β‑Galactosidase (β‑gal) is a hydrolase enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of β‑galactosides into monosaccharides. A 0.387 g sa

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

The molar mass of unknown β‑Galactosidaseis 116,352.97 g/mol.

Explanation:

To calculate the concentration of solute, we use the equation for osmotic pressure, which is:

$\pi=icRT$

where,

$\pi$ = osmotic pressure of the solution = 0.602 mbar = 0.000602 bar

0.000602 bar = 0.000594 atm

(1 atm = 1.01325 bar)

i = Van't hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)

c = concentration of solute = ?

R = Gas constant = $0.0820\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature of the solution = $25^oC=[273.15 +25]=298.15 K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.000594 atm=1\times c\times 0.0821\text{ L.atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298.15 K\\\\c=2.4278\times 10^{-5} mol/L$

The concentration of solute is $2.4278\times 10^{-5} mol/L$

Volume of the solution = V =0.137 L

Moles of β‑Galactosidase = n

$C=\frac{n}{V(L)}$

$n=2.4278\times 10^{-5} mol/L\times 0.137 L$

$n=3.3261\times 10^{-6} mol$

To calculate the molecular mass of solute, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Moles of β‑Galactosidase = $3.3261\times 10^{-6} mol$

Given mass of β‑Galactosidase= 0.387 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$3.3261\times 10^{-6} mol =\frac{0.387 g}{\text{Molar mass of solute}}\\\\\text{Molar mass of solute}=116,352.97 g/mol$

Hence, the molar mass of unknown β‑Galactosidaseis 116,352.97 g/mol.

How are independent and dependent variables related?

shtirl [24]

They are pretty much the cause and effect. The independent variable that is being changed in the experiment, so it is the cause. The dependant variable is the result of change the independant variable, so the effect.
