Why does galium melt

Chemistry
1 answer:
levacccp [35]2 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.

Answer:Crystalline solids have well-defined edges and faces, diffract x-rays, and tend to have sharp melting points. In contrast, amorphous solids have irregular or curved surfaces, do not give well-resolved x-ray diffraction patterns, and melt over a wide range of temperatures.

An electrochemical cell is powered by the half reactions shown below.
andrezito [222]
Reduction reactions are those reactions that reduce the oxidation number of a substance. Hence, the product side of the reaction must contain excess electrons. The opposite is true for oxidation reactions. When you want to determine the potential difference expressed in volts between the cathode and anode, the equation would be: E,reduction - E,oxidation. 

To cancel out the electrons, the e- in the reactions must be in opposite sides. To do this, you reverse the equation with the negative E0, then replacing it with the opposite sign. 

Pb(s) --> Pb2+ +2e-      E0 = +0.13 V
Ag+ + e-  ---> Ag           E0 = +0.80 V

Adding up the E0's would yield an overall electric cell potential of +0.93 V.

Which group on the periodic table would have zero electronegativity because they have a full octet?
bija089 [108]
The group on the periodic table that would have 0 electronegativity due to the fact that their valence shell is full, i.e, have a full octet would be the inert or noble gases. They have a total of 8 electrons in their valence shell and are thus inert and cannot strongly attract electrons toward itself, from neighbouring atom electrons as it does not need to.

A certain system absorbs 350 joules of heat and has 230 joules of work done on it what is the value of
marysya [2.9K]
According to the law of conservation of mass, the amount of BARIUM present of the reactants is the same as the amount present in the products (the precipitate). 

(11.21 g BaSO4) / (233.4 g/mol BaSO4) = 0.0480 mol BaSO4 and original barium salt 

(10.0 g) / (0.0480 mol) = 208.3 g/mol 

So it must have been BaCl2, because the molar mass of Barium is 137 which leave 71 grams left. Since Barium is a +2 charge, it means the atom next to it must be twice. Chlorine mass is 35, which twice is 71
