Why does galium melt

Chemistry
1 answer:
levacccp [35]3 years ago

Answer:

Like most other metals, Gallium is solid at room temperature (or liquid if it is too hot in your room). But, if it is held [in hands] for long enough, it melts in your hands, and doesn't poison you like Mercury would. This is because of its unusually low melting point of (~29 degree Centigrade).

- It melts once it reaches its melting point.

How much energy (in joules) is released when 0.06 kilograms of mercury is condensed to a liquid at the same temperature? A. 51,3
expeople1 [14]
The amount of energy released when 0.06 kg of mercury condenses at the same temperature can be calculated using its latent heat of fusion which is the opposite of melting. Latent heat of fusion and melting can be used because they have the same magnitude, but opposite signs. Latent heat is the amount of energy required to change the state or phase of a substance. For latent heat, there is no temperature change. The equation is:

E = m(ΔH)

where:
m = mass of substance
ΔH = latent heat of fusion or melting

According to data, the ΔH of mercury is approximately 11.6 kJ/kg.

E = 0.06kg (11.6 kJ/kg) = 0.696 kJ or 696 J

The answer is D. 697.08 J. Note that small differences could be due to rounding off or different data sources.

Suppose that 0.410 mol of methane, CH4(g), is reacted with 0.560 mol of fluorine, F2(g), forming CF4(g) and HF(g) as sole produc
Ber [7]

Answer:

The balanced equation for this reaction will be

                            CH4 + 4F2    →  CF4 + 4HF

We can see that 1 mole of methane requires 4 moles of fluorine but we have 0.41 moles of CH4 and 0.56mole of F2

So using the unitary method we will get that

  • 1 mole of CH4 → 4 mole of 4 mole of fluorine
  • 0.41 mole of methane  →  4*0.41 = 1.64 mole of fluorine for complete reaction

but we have only 0.56 mole of fluorine that means fluorine is the limiting reagent and the product will only be formed by only this amount of fluorine.

  • 4 moles of  fluorine →  1 mole of CF4
  • 0.56 mole →  \frac{1}{4} * 0.56 = 0.14mole of CF4
  • 4 moles of fluorine →  4 moles of HF
  • 0.56 mole of fluorine →  0.56 mole of HF

now to find the heat released we have the formula as

DELTA H = n * Delta H of product - n *delta H of reactant

where n is the moles of the reactant and product.

note: since no information is given about the enthalpies of the species we leave it on general equation also you need to add the product side enthalpy of the species present and similarly on the product side.
