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
You can detect salt in water without tasting by measuring the density of the water. Place a glass of spring water and a glass of the suspected salt water on a balance scale and the heavier one contains salt. Other ways to test for salt in water is to put a drop of water on the end of a nail and place in a gas flame. If the water contains salt, the flame will turn a yellow/orange color.
Hey there!
To calculate the percent by mass of the Ca(NO₃)₂ we need to find the total mass first by adding.
896.92 + 22.63 = 919.55
In total, the solution is 919.55 grams.
To find the percent of Ca(NO₃)₂ in the solution, divide the mass of Ca(NO₃)₂ by the total mass and multiply by 100.
22.63 ÷ 919.55 = 0.0246
0.0246 x 100 = 2.46
Ca(NO₃)₂ makes up 2.46% of the solution.
Hope this helps!
