stepladder [879]3 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.

Cyclopropene decomposes to propene when heated to 500 C, calculate rate constant for the first order reaction 0 min 1.48 mmol/L
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

k = 0.0306 min-1

Explanation:

The table is given as;

Time, Concentration

0 1.48

5 1.27

10 0.98

15 0.84

The integrated rate law for a first order reaction is given as;

ln [A] = -kt + ln [Ao]

where;

[A] = Final Concentration

[Ao] = Initial Concentration

k = rate constant

t = time

In the table, taking the first two sets of values;

t = 5

k = ?

[Ao]  = 1.48

[A] = 1.27

Inserting into the equation;

ln(1.27) = - k (5) + ln(1.48)

ln(1.27)  - ln(1.48) = -5k

-0.1530 = -5k

k = -0.1530 / -5

k = 0.0306 min-1

A 25.0 mL sample of a solution of an unknown compound is titrated with a 0.115 M NaOH solution. The titration curve above was ob
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Weak acid

Explanation:

A titration curve is a graphical description of the change in pH of the solution in the conical flask as the reagent is added from the burette. A titration curve can be plotted for the different kinds of acid and base titrations. The volume of the titrant is always plotted as the independent variable and the pH of the solution as the dependent variable. The equivalence point is read off from the titration curve. A titration curve is very important because it shows the pH at various points during the titration.

A weak acid/strong base titration leads to an equivalence point above 7. From the question, we were told that the pH at equivalence point lies around 8. Hence the unknown substance must be a weak acid.

Explain why vanadium (radius=134 pm) and copper (radius=128 pm) have nearly identical atomic radii, even though the atomic numbe
Viktor [21]
<span>There are few main factors affecting the atomic radii, the outermost electrons and the protons in the nucleus and also the shielding of the internal electrons. I would speculate that the difference in radii is given by the electron clouds since the electrons difference in these two elements is in the d orbital and both has at least 1 electron in the 4s (this 4s electron is the outermost electron in all the transition metals of this period). The atomic radio will be mostly dependent of these 4s electrons than in the d electrons. Besides that, you can see that increasing the atomic number will increase the number of protons in the nucleus decreasing the ratio of the atoms along a period. The Cu is an exception and will accommodate one of the 4s electrons in the p orbital.

</span><span>Regarding the density you can find the density of Cu = 8.96g/cm3 and vanadium = 6.0g/cm3. This also correlates with the idea that if these two atoms have similar volume and one has more mass (more protons;  density is the relationship between m/V), then a bigger mass for a similar volume will result in a bigger density.</span>

Hydrogen iodide is not produced by the same method as for hydrogen chloride.why??
lara [203]

Answer:

Using Phosphoric acid will work perfectly for producing Hydrogen halides because its not an Oxidizing agent. ...

Using an ionic chloride and Phosphoric acid

H3PO4 + NaCl ==> HCl + NaH2PO4

H3PO4 + NaI ==> HI + NaH2PO4

H2SO4 + NaCl ==> HCl + NaHSO4

This method(Using H2So4) will work for all hydrogen hydrogen halide except Hydrogen Iodide and Hydrogen Bromide.

The Sulphuric acid won't be useful for producing Hydrogen Iodide because its an OXIDIZING AGENT. Whist producing the Hydrogen Iodide... Some of the Iodide ions are oxidized to Iodine.
