stepladder [879]4 years ago
7 0

Buckyball or buckminster fullerene is the third allotrope of carbon. It contains 60 carbons which are arranged in the five and six membered rings. Buckyball is the cluster of carbon atoms which are arranged in spherical shape and it forms a hollow cage.

The physical properties are:

Buckyball is made up of huge number of molecules but giant covalent bond is not exist.

The forces between the individual buckyballs are weak intermolecular forces.

The substances which are made up of buckyballs has low melting point in comparison to other allotropes of carbon as low energy is required to overcome theses intermolecular forces.

The substances which are made up of buckyballs is slippery in nature.

The solutions of buckminster fullerene are deep purple in color and upon evaporation brown residue is obtained.

Buckyball is soft in comparison to graphite and when it is compressed to less than 70 percent of its volume then, it converts into superhard form of diamond.

Help ASAP!!! I need it now i have to write similar test tmrw
dusya [7]
A is Ea, which stands for activating energy. Energy is needed to get the reaction underway and Ea is the energy needed to “start” the reaction.

B is the temperature either released or absorbed.

The diagram shows that the reaction is exothermic based on the fact that the products energy is lower than the reactants. That is because energy (which is temperature in this case) is released during the process. If the reactants would have been lower than the products, the reaction would be endothermic.

How many grams of water can be produce from the complete reaction of excess nitric acid and 33.2 mL of 0.245 M lithium hydroxide
Mariulka [41]

Mass of water produced : 0.146 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

33.2 mL of 0.245 M lithium hydroxide

Required

mass of water

Solution

Reaction

HNO₃ (aq) + LiOH (aq) → H₂O (l) + LiNO₃ (aq)

mol LiOH :

= M x V

= 0.245 x 33.2 ml

= 8.134 mmol

From the equation, the mol ratio of HNO₃ : H₂O = 1 : 1, so mol H₂O = 8.134 mmol

mass H₂O :

= mol x MW

= 8.134 x 10⁻³ mol x 18 g/mol

= 0.146 g
