why do you think that sodium chloride has to be heated to 800c before melting, but candle wax will start to melt at 50c?
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Sodium chloride is an ionic compound which makes it stronger and have a higher melting and boiling point. Candle wax is a covalent compound so it has a low melting point.

How many grams of O₂ are required to react completely with 14.6 g of Na to form sodium oxide, Na₂O?
Bad White [126]

The balanced chemical reaction is :

O_2 + 4Na \ -> \ 2Na_2O

Number of moles of Na, n = \dfrac{14.6}{23} = 0.635 \  mol .

Now, from balance chemical reaction we can see that 1 mole of oxygen reacts with 4 moles of sodium.

So, number of moles of oxygen are :

n = \dfrac{0.635}{4}\  mole

So, amount of oxygen required is :

m = \dfrac{0.635 \times 32}{4}\  gm\\\\m = 5.08 \ gm

Therefore, 5.08 gram of oxygen will react with 14.6 gram of sodium.

A compound is made up of iron and oxygen, only. The ratio of iron ions to oxide ions is 2:3 in this compound. The IUPAC name for
never [62]

Answer: The correct option is 3.

Explanation: We are given a compound which is made up of iron and oxygen only. The ratio of the two are given as:

\frac{\text{iron ions}}{\text{oxide ions}}=\frac{2}{3}

This means that, number of iron ions are 2

Number of oxide ions are 3

From the above information, the formula becomes : Fe_2O_3

The valency of iron = 3

Valency of oxide = 2

This compound is named as iron (III) oxide.

Hence, the correct option is 3

What is the osmotic pressure, in atm, of a 0.287 M solution of MgCl2 at
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Π = 21.9 atm

Explanation:

The equation used to find osmotic pressure is:

Π = iMRT

In this formula,

   >> Π = osmotic pressure (atm)

   >> i = van't Hoff factor

   >> M = molarity (M)

   >> R = constant (0.0821 atm*L/mol*K)

   >> T = temperature (K)

Remember, van't Hoff factor is the amount of ions the species (MgCl₂) dissociates into while in solution. MgCl₂ dissociates into 3 ions. These ions are Mg²⁺ and 2 Cl⁻.

The temperature needs to be in Kelvin....

37.0 °C + 273.15 = 310.15 K

You now know the value of all the variables.

Π = iMRT

Π = (3)(0.287 M)(0.0821 atm*L/mol*K)(310.15 K)

Π = 21.9 atm

Tomtit [17]
Answer is: <span>daughter nucleus is zinc.
</span>Nuclear reaction 3: ⁶⁴Cu → ⁶⁴Zn + e⁻ + electron antineutrino.<span>
Beta decay is radioactive decay in which a beta ray and a neutrino are emitted from an atomic nucleus.
There are two types of beta decay: beta minus and beta plus. 
In beta minus decay, neutron is converted to a proton and an electron and an electron antineutrino and </span><span>atomic number Z is increased by one</span>.
