Which two properties are characteristic of ionic compounds?

2 answers:

6 0

Ionic compounds have high enthalpy of fusion and high enthalpy of vaporization. High heat is required to melt and vaporize ionic compounds because ionic compounds are formed between cation and anion and the oppositely charged ions are held by strong electrostatic force of attraction.

Ionic compounds form crystal lattice in which there is alternate arrangement of cation and anion in an array of three dimensional space. Ionic compounds do not form amorphous solids.

They are colourless solids (salts) that do not conduct electricity when solid, but conduct electricity in aqueous solution as the ions (that carry charge) are free to move.

They have a high melting point due to the strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions

EastWind [94]

Answer:

the answer is D

Explanation:

Air over the beach heats up, rises, and is replaced by cool, denser ocean air

The ocean heats up much slower and becomes relatively cooler than the beach making it a high pressure zone. The air moves from the water to the land each morning forming a sea breeze. These pressure zones might equal out later in the day and the winds may diminish. ... A sea breeze blows from the ocean towards the beach.

i have an unknown volume of gas at a pressure of 0.50 atm a temperature of 325 k. If i raise the pressure to 1.2 atm, decrease t

Ronch [10]

Assuming that the number of mols are constant for both conditions:
$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$
Now you plug in the given values. V_1 is the unknown.
$\frac{0.50 atm*V_1}{325K} = \frac{1.2 atm* 48 L}{230K}
$
Separate V_1
$V_1= \frac{1.2 atm* 48 L * 325K }{230K*0.50 atm }$
V= 162.782608696 L

There are 2 sig figs

V= 160 L
