Explain why phosphorus has a low melting point.

Chemistry

Minchanka [31]3 years ago

Answer:

Phosphorus has a low melting point because the intramolecular forces holding it together is London Dispersion Forces.

Explanation:

London Dispersion Forces (LDF) are the weakest intramolecular forces. You don't need to break the covalent bonds, but rather the Van Der Waals' Forces. If LDF are the weakest forces, then the melting point is low.

How many grams of NH3 can be prepared from 85.5 grams of N2 and 17.3 grams of H2 ?
Tcecarenko [31]
N2 + 3H2 ---> 2NH3

mass of N2 = 28g
mass of H2 = 2g
mass of NH3 = 17g

according to the reaction:
28g N2----------------- 3*2g H2
85,5g N2-------------------- x
x = 18,32g H2 >>>  so, nitrogen is excess

according to the reaction:
2*3g H2---------------------- 2*17g NH3
17,3g H2 ------------------------- x
x = 98,03g NH3

<u>answer: 98,03g of NH3</u>

Sodium fluoride reacts with hydroxyapatite to give fluorapatite according to the chemical reaction:
Viefleur [7K]
We are given the balanced equation 2NaF + Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 → Ca10(PO4)6F2 + 2NaOH. The fluorapatite is the product together with sodium hydroxide. The ions involved are (PO4) 3-, Ca 2+ and <span>F-. We add the charges and check if the sum is zero, 2*10+-3*6+-1*2 =0. the zero sum tells that the compound has zero charge or neutral</span>

Sand (silicon dioxide) and coke (carbon) are combined to form silicon carbide (SiC), a compound used in high-strength ceramic ma
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Mass = 235 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of SiO₂ react = 352 g

Mass of silicon carbide formed = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

SiO₂ + 3C    →     SiC + 2CO

Number of moles of SiO₂:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 352 g/ 60.08 g/mol

Number of moles = 5.86 mol

Now we will compare the moles of SiO₂ with SiC from balance chemical equation.

                    SiO₂          :            SiC

                      1               :             1

                    5.86           :          5.86

Mass of SiC:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 5.86 mol × 40.11 g

Mass = 235 g

Two of the types of infrared light, IR-B and IR-A, are both components of sunlight. Their wavelengths range from 1400 to 3000 nm
Simora [160]
<span>To compare the energy of microwaves, IR-B, and IR-A, we need to compare how long the wavelengths are for each wave. Through the intervals given, we can determine that we in order from greatest to least energy, the order is IR-A, IR-B, microwaves.</span>
