Carbon naturally occurs in two forms: diamond and graphite. Why do these two forms have very different properties?

The differences in the properties of diamond and graphite is as a result of how their particles are arranged in space. This space arrangement leads to distinct crystal structures for the two compounds. In diamond, the carbon atoms are arranged in tetrahedral shape while in graphite the carbon atoms arrayed in planes.
 Hope this helps :)

Why aren't alkali metals found in pure form?
Llana [10]
It mostly because they're so reactive and if they were in their pure form and touched water they would have a very violent reaction. They also want to be more stable so they look for more electrons and quickly bond.

How would a sandblasted rock differ from a rock that hasn't been sandblasted?
steposvetlana [31]
A non-sandblasted rock could be rough or smooth depending on how it was formed.

A sandblasted rock should be much smoother, since the sand blasts away any rough edges. It will, however, be slightly smaller due to losing those edges.

The rate constant of a reaction is measured at different temperatures. A plot of the natural log of the rate constant as a funct
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The activation energy is 7.11 × 10⁴ J/mol.

Explanation:

Let's consider the Arrhenius equation.

lnk=lnA-\frac{Ea}{R} .\frac{1}{T}

where,

k is the rate constant

A is a collision factor

Ea is the activation energy

R is the ideal gas constant

T is the absolute temperature

The plot of ln k vs 1/T is a straight line with lnA as intercept and -Ea/R as slope. Then,

\frac{-Ea}{R} =-8.55 \times 10^{3} K^{-1} \\Ea= 8.55 \times 10^{3} K^{-1} \times 8.314 \frac{J}{K.mol} =7.11 \times 10^{4} J/mol

Which formulas represent two polar molecules?
Tresset [83]
The correct answer is shown in option 3. Water and hydrochloric acid are polar molecules. These molecules are polar because of the presence of bonds that are partially ionic or polar covalent bonds. Other examples are hydrogen fluoride and ammonia.

Which factors must be equal when a reversible chemical process reaches equilibrium?
Anon25 [30]
The concentration of the reactants and products remain constant. Because the rates of the forward and reverse reaction are equal there is no net change to the amount of reactants or products produced.May 19, 2011
