What is the differences between amorphous solid and crystalline solid​

Chemistry
1 answer:
sp2606 [1]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Crystalline solids have well-defined edges and faces, diffract x-rays, and tend to have sharp melting points.

 In contrast, amorphous solids have irregular or curved surfaces, do not give well-resolved x-ray diffraction patterns, and melt over a wide range of temperatures.

The temperature of evaporation is much higher for water than for alcohol. Without knowing more about the chemistry of alcohol, w
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Alcohols are organic molecules characterized majorly by the presence of the OH group in their molecule. The OH group is majorly responsible for several of their characteristics. This include the formation of hydrogen bonds between alcohol molecules. While this makes them more inorganic than most organic compounds, comparatively the hydrogen bonding formed in alcohols is not as strong as that which is present in water.

The higher strength of the hydrogen bonding is responsible for some comparable properties. While water boils at a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius, alcohol boils at a temperature of 78 degrees Celsius. This is an evidence to the fact that hydrogen bonding in alcohol is less stronger that that in water.

In the following net ionic equation, identify each reactant as either a Bronsted-Lowry acid or a Bronsted-Lowry base. HCN(aq) H2
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

The definition of acids and bases by Arrhenius Theory  was modified and extended by  Bronsted-Lowry.

Bronsted-Lowry defined acid as a molecule or ion which donates a proton while a base is a molecule or ions that accepts the proton. This definition can be extended to include acid -base titrations in non-aqueous solutions.

In this theory, the reaction of an acid with a base constitutes a transfer of a proton from the acid to the base.

From the given information:

\mathsf{HCN _{(aq)} + H_2O_{(l)} \to CN^{-}_{(aq)} + H_3O_{(aq)}}

From above:

We will see that HCN releases an H⁺ ion, thus it is a Bronsted-Lowry acid

H_2O accepts the H⁺ ion ,thus it is a Bronsted-Lowry base.

The formula of the reactant that acts as a proton donor is <u>HCN</u>

The formula of the reactant that acts as a proton acceptor is <u>H2O</u>

Why is quantum of energy important?
Darina [25.2K]

Answer/Explanation:

quantum of energy is important because the energy of a particle, and also how long it has had that energy, with infinite precision. Quantum, in physics, discrete natural unit, or packet, of energy, charge, angular momentum, or other physical property. the term also applicable to quanta of other forms of electromagnetic energy such as X - rays and gamma rays.

The three naturally occurring isotopes of potassium are 39K, 38.963707u; 40K, 39.963999u; and 41K.The percent natural abundances
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

The isotopic mass of 41K is 40.9574 amu

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The isotopes are:  

39K with an isotopic mass of 38.963707u and natural abundance of 93.2581%

40K with an isotopic mass of 39.963999u

41K wit natural abundance of 6.7302 %

Average atomic mass =39.098 amu  

Step 2: Calculate natural abundance of 40 K

100 % - 93.2581 % - 6.7302 %

100 % = 0.0117 %

Step 3: Calculate isotopic mass of 41K

39.098 = 38.963707 * 0.932581 + 39.963999 * 0.000117 + X * 0.067302

39.098 = 36.33681 + 0.0046758 +  X * 2.067302

X = 40.9574 amu

The isotopic mass of 41K is 40.9574 amu
