What type of solid is candle wax? Pls explain

1 answer:

5 0

the type of solid of the candle wax is amorphous.

as the amorphous is doesn't melt at a certain temperature . and it is amorphous because it gets softer and softer and it doesn't melt at a certain temperature. so the wax shape change and being softer and when it re-cooled its shape will become harder again, without melting at distinct temperature.

Two of the substances in part 1 are ionic. which factors will result in a stronger ionic bond overall?

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Greater absolute charge
- This is because ionic bond results from stronger electrostatic forces of attraction.
- The higher the value of charges q₁ and q₂ the stronger will be the ionic bond.

What is formula mass of glucose C2H12O6

Delvig [45]

Glucose has empirical formula C6H12O6. So its formula mass can be calculated from that: 12.01x6 + 1.008x12 + 16.00x6 = 72.06 + 12.096 + 96.00 = 180.156 which needs to be rounded to two decimals to get 180.16 g/mole.

Explain surface tension and capillary action

Andreas93 [3]

Adhesion of water to the surface of a material will cause an upward force on the liquid. The surface tension acts to hold the surface intact. Capillary action occurs when the adhesion to the surface material is stronger than the cohesive forces between the water molecules.

How many molecules are in 5.50 grams of AgNO3?

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

1.95*10²² molecules are in 5.50 grams of AgNO₃

Explanation:

Being the molar mass of the elements:

Ag: 107.87 g/mole
N: 14 g/mole
O: 16 g/mole

then the molar mass of the compound is:

AgNO₃: 107.87 g/mole + 14 g/mole + 3*16 g/mole= 169.87 g/mole

Then you can apply the following rule of three: if 169.87 grams of the compound are present in 1 mole, 5.50 grams will be present in how many moles?

$moles=\frac{5.50 grams*1 mole}{169.87 grams}$

moles= 0.0324

Avogadro's Number or Avogadro's Constant is called the number of particles that make up a substance (usually atoms or molecules) and that can be found in the amount of one mole of said substance. Its value is 6.023*10²³ particles per mole. Avogadro's number applies to any substance.

You can apply the following rule of three: if by definition of Avogadro's Number 1 mole of the substance contains 6.023 * 10²³ molecules, 0.0324 moles how many molecules will it have?

$molecules=\frac{0.0324 moles*6.023*10^{23} molecules}{1 mole}$

molecules=1.95*10²²

1.95*10²² molecules are in 5.50 grams of AgNO₃

Explain, in terms of both atoms and molecular structure, why there is no isomer of CH3OH.

Jet001 [13]

Explain, in terms of both atoms and molecular structure, why there is no isomer of CH3OH.

There is no isomer of CH3OH or methanol because it contains only one carbon atom. And also, the structure is tetrahedral, having four substances attached to the carbon atom.
