1. Which type of compound usually has higher melting points: ionic compounds or covalent compounds? What is the reason for this

difference in melting points?

Ionic compounds have stronger bonds so a lot of energy is needed to break the bonds.

babunello [35]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

A common "rule of thumb" for many reactions around room temperature is that the rate will double for each ten degree increase in temperature. Does the reaction you have studied seem to obey this rule? (Hint: Use your activation energy to calculate the ratio of rate constants at 300 and 310 Kelvin.)

Solutions :

If we consider the activation energy to be constant for the increase in 10 K temperature. (i.e. 300 K → 310 K), then the rate of the reaction will increase. This happens because of the change in the rate constant that leads to the change in overall rate of reaction.

Let's take :

$T_1=300 \ K$

$T_2=310 \ K$

The rate constant = $K_1 \text{ and } K_2$ respectively.

The activation energy and the Arhenius factor is same.

So by the arhenius equation,

$K_1 = Ae^{-\frac{E_a}{RT_1}}$ and $K_2 = Ae^{-\frac{E_a}{RT_2}}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{K_1}{K_2}= \frac{e^{-\frac{E_a}{RT_1}}}{e^{-\frac{E_a}{RT_2}}}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{K_1}{K_2}= e^{-\frac{E_a}{R}\left(\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}\right)}$

$\Rightarrow \ln \frac{K_1}{K_2}= - \frac{E_a}{R} \left(\frac{1}{T_1} -\frac{1}{T_2} \right)$

$\Rightarrow \ln \frac{K_2}{K_1}= \frac{E_a}{R} \left(\frac{1}{T_1} -\frac{1}{T_2} \right)$

Given, $E_a = 0.269$ J/mol

R = 8.314 J/mol/K

$\Rightarrow \ln \frac{K_2}{K_1}= \frac{0.269}{8.314} \left(\frac{1}{300} -\frac{1}{310} \right)$

$\Rightarrow \ln \frac{K_2}{K_1}= \frac{0.269}{8.314} \times \frac{10}{300 \times 310}$

$\Rightarrow \ln \frac{K_2}{K_1}= 3.479 \times 10^{-6}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{K_2}{K_1}= e^{3.479 \times 10^{-6}}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{K_2}{K_1}= 1$

∴ $K_2=K_1$

So, no this reaction does not seem to follow the thumb rule as its activation energy is very low.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The first energy level is closest to the nucleus. The second energy level is a little farther away than the first. ... The electrons in the energy level farthest from the nucleus are called valence electrons. Atoms in the same column (group) in the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons.
