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]3 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.

8. If a sample of chloroform is initially at 25°C, what is its final temperature if 150.0 g of chloroform
sashaice [31]

Answer:

The final temperature is 31.95° C.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial temperature of a sample of chloroform, T_i=25^{\circ} C

Mass of chloroform, m = 150 g

It absorbs 1 kJ of heat, Q = 10³ J

The specific heat of chloroform, c = 00.96 J/gºC

We need to find the final temperature. The heat absorbed by an object in terms of specific heat is given by :

Q=mc\Delta T\\\\Q=mc(T_f-T_i)\\\\\dfrac{Q}{mc}+T_i=T_f\\\\T_f=\dfrac{10^3}{150\times 0.96}+25\\\\=31.95^{\circ} C

So, the final temperature is 31.95° C.

How does the number of subatomic particles change as the carbon isotope<br> decays?
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

C decays by a process called beta decay. During this process, an atom of 14C decays into an atom of 14N, during which one of the neutrons in the carbon atom becomes a proton. This increases the number of protons in the atom by one, creating a nitrogen atom rather than a carbon atom.

Balance this equation. If a coefficient of "1" is required, choose "blank" for that box. C2H6 + O2 → CO2 + H2O
fenix001 [56]
Step 1: Write the unbalanced equation,

                                 C₂H₆  +  O₂    →    CO₂  +  H₂<span>O

There are 2 C at left hand side and 1 carbon at right hand side. So, multiply CO</span>₂ by 2 to balance C atoms at both side. So,

                                 C₂H₆  +  O₂    →   2 CO₂  +  H₂O

Now, count number of H atoms at both sides. There are 6 H atoms at left hand side and 2 at right hand side. Multiply H₂O by 3 to balance H atoms.


                                 C₂H₆  +  O₂    →   2 CO₂  +  3 H₂O

At last, balance O atoms. There are 2 O atoms at left hand side and 3 O atoms at right hand side. Multiply O₂ with 1.5 (i.e. 3/2) to balance O atoms. i.e.

                                 C₂H₆  +  3/2 O₂    →   2 CO₂  +  3 H₂O

Hence, the equation is balanced. If you want to make equation fraction free then multiply all equation with 2. i.e.

                           ( C₂H₆  +  3/2 O₂    →   2 CO₂  +  3 H₂O ) × 2

                                2 C₂H₆  +  3 O₂    →   4 CO₂  +  6 H₂O

Which of the following has a melting point greater than room temperature?
nikdorinn [45]
Technically, the answer is iron. Oxygen has a melting point way below zero (-219 degrees celsius), ice becomes water AT room temperature and bromine is already a liquid at room temperature. So, iron has a melting point greater than room temperature due to the fact that metals are made up of giant structures of atoms in a regular arrangement, and there are strong forces of electrostatic attraction between positive metal ions and negative electrons, meaning that a lot of heat energy is required to break the bonds, i.e. a very high melting point, approx. 1500 degrees celsius. Hope this helps.
