NaBr melting point : 1,377°F (774C)
KBr: 1,353°F (734C)

Answer:

NaBr

Explanation:

Both compounds are electrovalent compounds, that is they are held together by electrovalent combination. Potassium bromide (KBr) has a melting point of 734 °C while sodium bromide (NaBr) has a melting point of 747 °C. The reason for this is because the electropositivity of potassium is higher than that of sodium.

Electrovalent combination involves the transfer the electrons from one constituent atom (to form a cation) to another constituent atom (to form an anion). Electropositivity is the tendency of an atom to donate electron(s) to form a cation. Since, it's easier for potassium (when compared to sodium) to donate its outermost electron to bromine, NaBr will have a higher force of attraction than KBr and hence a higher melting point.

There are 31.1 grams (g) in 1 troy ounce (ozt). How many ozt of gold are extracted from 1 short ton of average Nevada ore
devlian [24]

This problem is providing us with the mass equivalent to one troy ounce. Thus, the troy ounces of gold in one short ton of average Nevada ore is required and found to be the 0.103 otz according to the following dimensional analysis.

<h3>Dimensional analysis</h3>

In chemistry, a raft of problems do not always provide an equation in order to be solved yet dimensional analysis can be applied, so as to obtain the desired amount in the required units.

Thus, since this problem asks for try ounces in an average Nevada ore,  which has 3.2 grams of gold per short ton of ore, one can solve the following setup in order to obtain the required answer in otz:

\frac{3.2gAu}{1short-ton}*1short-ton*\frac{1otz}{31.1g} \\

Where the short tons are cancelled out as well as the grams, in order to obtain:

0.103 otz

what is the concentration of a dextrose solution prepared by diluting 14 ml of a 1.0 m dextrose solution to 25 ml using a 25 ml
allsm [11]

The concentration of a dextrose solution prepared by diluting 14 ml of a 1.0 M dextrose solution to 25 ml using a 25 ml volumetric flask is 0.56M.

Concentration is defined as the number of moles of a solute present in the specific volume of a solution.

According to the dilution law, the degree of ionization increases on a dilution and it is inversely proportional to the square root of concentration. The degree of dissociation of an acid is directly proportional to the square root of a volume.

M₁V₁=M₂V₂

Where, M₁=1.0M, V₁=14ml, M₂=?, V₂=25ml

Rearrange the formula for M₂

M₂=(M₁V₁/V₂)

Plug all the values in the formula

M₂=(1.0M×14 ml/25 ml)

M₂=14 M/25

M₂=0.56 M

Therefore, the concentration of a dextrose solution after the dilution is 0.56M.

A mixture of caco3 and (nh4)2co3 is 60.7 % co3 by mass. part a find the mass percent of caco3 in the mixture.
blagie [28]

The mixture contains:

CaCO3 + (NH4)2CO3 in which the amount of carbonate CO3 = 60.7% by mass

Let, the total mass = 100 grams

Mass of CaCO3 = x grams

Mass of (NH4)2CO3 = y grams

Thus,       x + y = 100 ------------(1)

Mass of CO3 = 60.7% = 60.7 g

Molar mass of CO3 = 60 g/mol

Total # moles of CO3 = 60.7 g/60 g.mol-1 = 1.012 moles

The total moles of CO3 comes from CaCO3 and (NH4)2CO3. Therefore,

moles CaCO3 + moles (NH4)2CO3 = 1.012

mass CaCO3/molar mass CaCO3 + mass (NH4)2 CO3/molar mass = 1.012

x/100 + y/96 = 1.012---------(2)

based on equation 1 we can write: y = 100-x

x/100 + (100-x)/96 = 1.012

x = 71.2 g

Mass of CaCO3 = 71.2 g
