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 salt are in 1 kilogram of seawater with average salinity? quizzlet?

Degger [83]

<span>35 grams The average salinity of seawater is 35 parts per thousand, so multiply the mass of seawater provided by 0.035 and you'll get the amount of salt (mostly sodium chloride) dissolved in it. So 1000 g * 0.035 = 35 g Therefore in 1 kilogram of seawater with average salinity, there is 35 grams of salt.</span>

Your apple juice has a molarity of 3.4 M and a volume of 0.895 litres. What does a student have to do to decrease the molarity t

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

4.285 L of water must be added.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, for this dilution-like problems, we need to figure out the final volume of the resulting solution so that we would be able to obtain the correct volume of diluent (water) to be added. In such a way, we can obtain the final volume, V2, as shown below:

$M_1V_1=M_2V_2\\\\V_2=\frac{M_1V_1}{M_2}$

Thus, by plugging in the initial molarity, initial volume and final molarity (0.587 M) we obtain:

$V_2=\frac{3.4M*0.895 L}{0.587M}\\\\V_2=5.18L$

It means we need to add:

$V_{H_2O} ^{added}=5.18L-0.895L=4.285L$

Of diluent water.

Regards!

A sample of gas with an initial volume of 12.5 L at a pressure of 784 torr and a temperature of 295 K is compressed to a volume

Kipish [7]

Answer:

Final pressure in (atm) (P1) = 6.642 atm

Explanation:

Given:

Initial volume of gas (V) = 12.5 L

Pressure (P) = 784 torr

Temperature (T) = 295 K

Final volume (V1) = 2.04 L

Final temperature (T1) = 310 K

Find:

Final pressure in (atm) (P1) = ?

Computation:

According to combine gas law method:

$\frac{PV}{T} =\frac{P1V1}{T1} \\\\\frac{(784)(12.5)}{295} =\frac{(P1)(2.04)}{310}\\\\33.22 = \frac{(P1)(2.04)}{310}\\\\P1=5,048.18877$

⇒ Final pressure (P1) = 5,048.18877 torr

⇒ Final pressure in (atm) (P1) = 5,048.18877 torr / 760

⇒ Final pressure in (atm) (P1) = 6.642 atm

As with the properties of a substance, the changes that substances undergo can be classified as either physical or chemical. During physical changes a substance changes its physical appearance, but not its composition. The evaporation of water is a physical change.

(I searched that up but here’s an explanation with my own words that you can use):

Change in matter can be classified as a physical change as well as a chemical change due to the properties of substance. A physical change changes substance within its appearance but not its composition. For an example: The evaporation of water is a physical change.

There you go hopefully that helped
