For the closed system below: Cu(s) + 2Ag+(aq) 2Ag(s) + Cu2+(aq) How would you know if the system is at equilibrium?

1 answer:

5 0

For the chemical reactiom to be at equilibrium:
1- The rate of forward reaction must be equal to the rate of the reverse reaction.
2- The mass of EACH element must be equal before and after the reaction (no NET change in mass), otherwise the equilibrium will shift.

Important note: you need to check the mass of each element before and after the reaction (i.e, reactants side and products side) and the not the mass of the system as a whole. This is because the mass of the whole system will be preserved whether the system is at equilibrium or not (this is the fundamental law of mass conservation)

Which factor is generally responsible for high melting points?

kherson [118]

The factor that is generally responsible for higher melting point is intermolecular forces. The compounds that are covalent in nature are made of molecules rather than ions. It has been seen that some of the covalent compounds have polar molecules at one end, due to which the one end has more electronegative force than the other. The electrostatic force that is bounding the compound is the main cause of higher melting point of this compound. So it is true that with the increase of polarity of a compound creates higher melting point. .. hope I helped
