Sugar has a lower melting point than salt because sugar is made of _________.

1 answer:

4 0

The correct answer is Crystals.

Unlike sugar, salt is not made out of crystals, but both salt and sugar are made out of atoms, that is molecules, and can have ions.

.400 moles of CO2 gas are confined in a 5.00-liter container at 25 °C. Calculate the pressure exerted in atmospheres and mm Hg.

solong [7]

The pressure exerted by 0.400 moles of carbon dioxide in a 5.00 Liter container at 25 °C would be 1.9563 atm or 1486.788 mm Hg.

<h3>The ideal gas law</h3>

According to the ideal gas law, the product of the pressure and volume of a gas is a constant.

This can be mathematically expressed as:

pv = nRT

Where:

p = pressure of the gas

v = volume

n = number of moles

R = Rydberg constant (0.08206 L•atm•mol-1K)

T = temperature.

In this case:

p is what we are looking for.

v = 5.00 L

n = 0.400 moles

T = 25 + 273

= 298 K

Now, let's make p the subject of the formula of the equation.

p = nRT/v

= 0.400 x 0.08206 x 298/5

= 1.9563 atm

Recall that: 1 atm = 760 mm Hg

Thus:

1.9563 atm = 1.9563 x 760 mm Hg

= 1486.788 mm Hg

In other words, the pressure exerted by the gas in atm is 1.9563 atm and in mm HG is 1486.788 mm Hg.

The following ionization energies were found for an unknown element: -

Alika [10]

Answer:

The common ion will be di-positive ion.

Explanation:

The ionization energy is defined as the amount of energy needed for removal of most loosely bound electron from an isolated atom in gaseous state.

The low ionization energy shows that the atom is able to give electron easily as after losing electron it may attain noble gas configuration or half filled stability.

Here the first and second ionization energy, both are low suggesting that the element is ready to give two electrons easily to form a di-positive ion however the third ionization energy is high which shows that it will not form tri-positive ion commonly.

How many grams of neutral salt will be obtained in the reaction of calcium oxide with 200 cm 3 of phosphoric acid solution whose

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

9.3 g of Ca3(PO4)2

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

3CaO + 2H3PO4 —> Ca3(PO4)2 + 3H2O

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of H3PO4 present in 200 cm³ of 0.3 mol/dm³ phosphoric acid (H3PO4) solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Molarity of H3PO4 = 0.3 mol/dm³

Volume = 200 cm³ = 200 cm³/1000 = 0.2 dm³

Mole of H3PO4 =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

0.3 = mole of H3PO4 /0.2

Cross multiply

Mole of H3PO4 = 0.3 × 0.2

Mole of H3PO4 = 0.06 mole

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of the salt, Ca3(PO4)2, obtained from the reaction. This can be obtained as shown below:

3CaO + 2H3PO4 —> Ca3(PO4)2 + 3H2O

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of H3PO4 reacted to produced 1 mole of Ca3(PO4)2.

Therefore, 0.06 moles of H3PO4 will react to produce = (0.06 × 1)/2 = 0.03 mole of Ca3(PO4)2.

Thus, 0.03 mole of Ca3(PO4)2 is produced from the reaction.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of Ca3(PO4)2 produced as follow:

Mole of Ca3(PO4)2 = 0.03 mole

Molar mass of Ca3(PO4)2 = (40×3) + 2[31 + (16×4)]

= 120 + 2[31 + 64]

= 120 + 2[95]

= 120 + 190

= 310 g/mol

Mass of Ca3(PO4)2 =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

0.03 = mass of Ca3(PO4)2 / 310

Cross multiply

Mass of Ca3(PO4)2 = 0.03 × 310

Mass of Ca3(PO4)2 = 9.3 g

Thus, 9.3 g of Ca3(PO4)2 was obtained from the reaction.

How does a volcano form?

stealth61 [152]

A volcano is formed when magma (Lava) spews up from deep within the earth. After each eruption the Volcano gets bigger and bigger, so basically after periods of time the volcano will get larger. Lava will rise in cracks in the earth or weak spots in the earths crust. The pressure is relieved thus resulting in a volcanic eruptions it forms the new crust and then eventually builds up in that spot making a volcano. They also form in places called hot spots and various other places.

which bonds maintain the primary structure of a protein? question 7 options: ionic bonds hydrogen bonds peptide bonds disulfide

Mariulka [41]

Proteins have four structures primary, secondary,m tertiary, and quaternary. The primary structure of the protein has been known to have peptide bonds. Thus, option C is correct.

<h3>What are peptide bonds?</h3>

Peptide bonds are the chemical bonds that are involved in protein polymer formation by linking the amino acid chains. They are also called amide bonds that are present between the nitrogen and the carbonyl atom.

The primary structure of the proteins includes the amino linked by the peptide bonds that make them look like linear structures. The secondary structures have hydrogen bonds and the tertiary have ionic and hydrophilic hydrogen bonds.

Therefore, option C. the primary structure of the protein contains peptide bonds.
