Why are metallic and ionic substances harder to melt than covalent substances

Chemistry
1 answer:
sleet_krkn [62]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The melting and boiling points of ionic compounds are usually very high. A smaller amount of energy is required to overcome the weak attractions between covalent molecules, so these compounds melt and boil at much lower temperatures than metallic and ionic compounds do.

1. The answer is option E, that is None of the above is correct.

As a polymer becomes more crystalline,

its melting point doesn't decreases, its density doesn't decreases, its stiffness doesn't decreases and its yield stress doesn't decreases.

2. The answer is option B, that is the molecules are arranged in sheets, with their long axes parallel and their ends aligned as well.

In the smectic A liquid-crystalline phase, molecules are arranged in sheets, with their long axes parallel and their ends aligned as well.

3.  For a substitutional alloy to form, the two metals combined must have similar atomic radii and chemical bonding properties.

What action would you expect an atom of Aluminum to undergo?
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

C. Lose three electrons to have a full outer shell  

Explanation:

Al is in Group 13 of the Periodic Table, so it has three valence electrons.

It must either lose three electrons or gain five to achieve a stable octet.

It is easier to lose three electrons than it is to gain five, so Al loses three electrons.

D. is wrong, for the same reason.

A. is wrong. If Al lost three electrons, it would be breaking into a stable inner shell.

C. is wrong. Al is a metal, so it will lose electrons in a reaction.

What is the final temperature of the solution formed when 1.52 g of NaOH is added to 35.5 g of water at 20.1 °C in a calorimeter
Inessa [10]

Answer : The final temperature of the solution in the calorimeter is, 31.0^oC

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the heat produced.

\Delta H=\frac{q}{n}

where,

\Delta H = enthalpy change = -44.5 kJ/mol

q = heat released = ?

m = mass of NaOH = 1.52 g

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

\text{Moles of }NaOH=\frac{\text{Mass of }NaOH}{\text{Molar mass of }NaOH}=\frac{1.52g}{40g/mole}=0.038mole

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

44.5kJ/mol=\frac{q}{0.038mol}

q=1.691kJ

Now we have to calculate the final temperature of solution in the calorimeter.

q=m\times c\times (T_2-T_1)

where,

q = heat produced = 1.691 kJ = 1691 J

m = mass of solution = 1.52 + 35.5 = 37.02 g

c = specific heat capacity of water = 4.18J/g^oC

T_1 = initial temperature = 20.1^oC

T_2 = final temperature = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

1691J=37.02g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (T_2-20.1)

T_2=31.0^oC

Thus, the final temperature of the solution in the calorimeter is, 31.0^oC
