Answer:

KBr: strong ion-ion forces

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are non-molecular species. During melting they require a lot of energy input so that the strong ionic bonds that constitute the electrostatic lattice be disrupted. It thus requires very high temperatures. This is indicative of a very strong ion-ion electrostatic interaction which is typical of ionic bonds and results in high melting points of ionic solids.

Hence, the process of melting an ionic solid needs the addition of a large amount of energy in order to break all of the ionic bonds in the crystal.

On the other hand, Br2 is a covalent molecular specie. Most covalent compound have low melting points since their molecules are mostly held together only by weak van der waals forces.

Read the word equation: “Propane gas plus oxygen gas produces __________.”
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Propane gas plus oxygen gas produces water and carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

This is the initial chemical equation: C3H8 + O2 = CO2 + H2O

This is the balanced chemical equation: C3H8 + 5 O2 = 3 CO2 + 4 H2O

How many grams of barium sulfate, BaSO 4 , be precipitated when 2.25 moles of sodium sulfate , Na 2 SO 3 , reacts with an excess
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

525.1 g of BaSO₄ are produced.

Explanation:

The reaction of precipitation is:

Na₂SO₄ (aq) + BaCl₂ (aq) →  BaSO₄ (s) ↓  +  2NaCl (aq)

Ratio is 1:1. So 1 mol of sodium sulfate can make precipitate 1 mol of barium sulfate.

The excersise determines that the excess is the  BaCl₂.

After the reaction goes complete and, at 100 % yield reaction, 2.25 moles of BaSO₄ are produced.

We convert the moles to mass: 2.25 mol . 233.38 g/mol = 525.1 g

The precipitation's equilibrium is:

SO₄⁻² (aq)  +  Ba²⁺ (aq)  ⇄  BaSO₄ (s) ↓       Kps

A full bottle of water was left outside overnight in freezing temperatures, causing the bottle to crack. No mass was added or re
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:The correct answer is option C.

Explanation;

Water has unique property that is, it expands on freezing.Which is the reason for less density of ice than water. The cracking of the bottle was due to the expansion of water (present inside the bottle) on freezing.

Generally, density is inversely proportional to the volume of the substance.

Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

Density\propto \frac{1}{Volume}

As we know ,that water expands on freezing which means that volume increases. And with increase in volume of density decreases.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

puteri [66]

Answer:

  1. Elimination
  2. Elimination
  3. Zaitsev
  4. Zaitsev
  5. Carbocation

Explanation:

  • The mechanism is generally accepted to always operate via an ELIMINATION step-wise process.
  • The ELIMINATION mechanism process will always produce (after dehydration) a ZAITSEV style alkene as major product
  • The driving force for the production of this ZAITSEV style alkene product is generally going to be determined by stability of the CARBOCATION

Elimination mechanism is the removal of two substituents  from a molecule in either a one- or two-step mechanism

Carbocation is a molecule containing a positive charged carbon atom and three bonds
