The melting point of the metal potassium is 63.5c, while that of titanium is 1660c. what explanation can be given for this great

difference in melting temperature?
Chemistry

kiruha [24]4 years ago
3 0

The melting point of potassium = 63.5^{0}C

Melting point of titanium = 1660^{0}C

Titanium has a stronger metallic bonding compared to potassium. Titanium being a transition metal has greater number of valence electrons (4 valence electrons) contributing to the valence electron sea compared to potassium which has only one valence electron. The atomic size of Titanium much lower than that of potassium, so the bonding between Titanium atoms is stronger than that of potassium. Hence, the melting point of Titanium is much higher than that of potassium.

If 5.0 moles of C3H8 react, how many molecules of water are formed?
Lady_Fox [76]
 <span>Propane is C3H8 

The balanced equation is: 
C3H8 + 5 O2 --> 3 CO2 + 4 H2O 
From the balanced equation you can see that for each mole of C3H8 you obtain 4 moles of H2O. 

moles H2O = 5.0 moles C3H8(4 moles H2O/1 mole C3H8) = 20 moles H2O formed 

Use Avogadro's number to find the number of molecules. 
molecules H2O = 20 moles H2O(6.02 x 10^23 molecules/1 mole) = 1.20 x 10^25 H2O molecules</span><span>

Graphite is a form of____.
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

D. Carbon

Explanation:

Graphite, archaically referred to as plumbago, is a crystalline form of the element carbon with its atoms arranged in a hexagonal structure. You'll get the substance when carbon is stacked in sheets. It occurs naturally in this form and is the most stable form of carbon under standard conditions. Under high pressures and temperatures, it converts to diamond. Graphite is used in pencils and lubricants. It is a good conductor of heat and electricity. Its high conductivity makes it useful in electronic products such as electrodes, batteries, and solar panels.

Write the net ionic equation for the reaction of aqueous solutions of ammonium chloride and iron(III) hydroxide.
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Fe(OH)_3(s)\rightarrow Fe^{3+}(aq)+3OH^-(aq)

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, for the reaction between aqueous solutions of ammonium chloride and iron (III) hydroxide, we have the following complete molecular reaction:

3NH_4Cl(aq)+Fe(OH)_3(s)\rightarrow 3NH_4OH+FeCl_3

And the full ionic equation, taking into account that the iron (III) hydroxide cannot be dissolved as it is insoluble in water:

3NH_4^+(aq)+3Cl^-(aq)+Fe(OH)_3(s)\rightarrow 3NH_4^+(aq)+3OH^-(aq)+Fe^{3+}(aq)+3Cl^-(aq)

Finally, the net ionic equation, considering that spectator ions are NH₄⁺, Cl⁻ as they are both the left and right side, therefore, the net ionic equation is:

Fe(OH)_3(s)\rightarrow Fe^{3+}(aq)+3OH^-(aq)

Best regards.
