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.

What is the average atomic mass of all of the naturally occurring isotopes of nickel in amu?
My name is Ann [436]
In general chemistry, isotopes are substances that belong to one specific element. So, they all have the same atomic numbers. But they only differ in the mass numbers, or the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. In a nutshell, they only differ in the number of neutrons.

For Nickel, there are 5 naturally occurring isotopes. Their identities, masses and relative abundance are listed below

  Isotope                Abundance           Atomic Mass
   Ni-58                    68.0769%              <span>57.9353 amu
   Ni-60                    </span>26.2231%              <span>59.9308 amu
   Ni-61                    </span>1.1399 %               <span>60.9311 amu
   Ni-62                    </span>3.6345%                <span>61.9283 amu
   Ni-64                    </span>0.9256%                <span>63.9280 amu

To determine the average atomic mass of Nickel, the equation would be:
Average atomic mass = </span>∑Abundance×Atomic Mass

Using the equation, the answer would be:
Average atomic mass = 57.9353(68.0769%) + 59.9308(26.2231%) + 60.9311(1.1399%) + 61.9283(3.6345%) + 63.9280(0.9256%)

Average atomic mass = 58.6933 amu

Acetic acid (HC2H3O2) is the active ingredient in vinegar. Calculate the mass percent composition of O in acetic acid.
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

53.29% of acetic acid is Oxygen

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Acetic acid it's molecular formula is HC2H3O2. This means it consists of 3 elements Carbon, Hydrogen and oxygen.

Step 2: the molar masses

The molecular mass of acetic acid is:

4* H = 4* 1.01 g/mole

2* C = 2*12 g/mole

2*O = 2* 16 g/mole

Total molar mass = 4+ 24+32 = 60.052 g/mole

Step 3: Calculate the mass percent

32 g of the 60.052 g is Oxygen

(32/60.052) *100% = 53.29%

53.29% of acetic acid is Oxygen.

In the single displacement reaction of HCl and magnesium, how many grams of magnesium chloride would be produced if 1.05g of mag
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

4.16g of MgCl2

Explanation:

First, let us generate a balanced equation for the reaction:

Mg + 2HCl —> MgCl2 + H2

Molar Mass of Mg = 24g/mol

Molar Mass of MgCl2 = 24 + (2x35.5) = 24 + 71 = 95g

From the equation,

24g of Mg produced 95g of MgCl2.

Therefore, 1.05g of Mg will produce = (1.05x95)/24 = 4.16g of MgCl2

The location of four different fossils in the layers of a rock are listed below. Fossil A: Second layer from top Fossil B: Third
maxonik [38]
Fossil C is the youngest. Layers further down were placed earlier than others. Because C is on the top layer, it must be the youngest (unless a disaster mixed up all the layers!).
