Why do you think that different substances have different melting and boiling pointeds

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sergio [31]3 years ago
5 0


The boiling point and melting point of  substances is determined by their molecular weight and the cohesion (stickiness) of the individual molecules in the substance.

Based on the cohesive molecule - molecule interactions of a substance, it may have either a high melting and boiling point or vice versa. The stronger the cohesive interactions the more the heat required for the substance's transition into liquid and gas state.

These intermolecular forces include hydrogen bonding , ionic  bonding, dipole dipole, and Van Der Waals dispersion forces.

How do you figure out molality
hodyreva [135]
*The molality of a solution is calculated by taking the moles of solute and dividing by
the kilograms of solvent* Basically if we had 1.00 mole of sucrose (it's about 342 3 grams) and
proceeded to mix it into exactly 1.00 liter water. It would dissolve and make sugar
water. We keep adding water, dissolving and stirring until all the solid was gone. We
then made sure everything was well-mixed.
What would be the molality of this solution? Notice that my one liter of water weighs
1000 grams (density of water = 1.00 g / mL and 1000 mL of water in a liter).

How many grams of solute are needed to prepare a 3.50% mass/mass solution that has a solution mass of 2.50x102 grams.
Elis [28]
One way of expressing concentration is by percent. It may be on the basis of mass, mole or volume. Percent is expressed as the amount of solute per amount of the solution. For this case, we are given the percent by mass. In order to solve the amount of solute, we multiply the percent with the amount of the solution.

Mass of solute = percent by mass x mass solution
Mass of solute = 0.0350 x 2.50 x10^2 = 8.75 grams of solute

Oduvanchick [21]
NaCl or sodium chloride is composed of two metals: the cation is Na + while the anion is the Cl-. In this case, when two metals form a bond, valence electrons are transferred. NaCl is an ionic compound. In 2, upon chemical change, the properties of the compound resulting from the reaction are somewhat closely related from the elemental properties.

Which type of change must occur to form a compound? (1) chemical (3) nuclear(2) physical (4) phase?
Leya [2.2K]
Let's go through each of the answers and think about why they work or don't work. 

Chemical forms compounds. 

Nuclear changes the element completely. We're going to use the sun as an example. The sun is in a state of plasma. It's really hot and has all these particles hitting into each other. The nucleus' of atoms are hitting into each other forming larger elements. It's real crazy. Nuclear is not correct. 

Physical cannot form a compound.

Nistu is cooking rice in a pot. When she leaves the pot on the stove for a while, the temperature of the rice increases. What ha
Mila [183]

Answer:

Their average kinetic energy increases

Explanation:

The average kinetic energy of the rice molecules increases as the pot is left on the cooking stove.

Heat is transferred to the pot by conduction from the heat source. The heat is then transferred to the rice in the cooking pot by convection.

  • As the water in the pot heats up.
  • The rice gains thermal energy.
  • This causes the molecules of the rice particles to start vibrating.
  • As the molecules vibrate about their fixed position, their thermal energy continues to increase.
  • Therefore, the amount of heat absorbed by the rice increases with time and this actually cooks the food.
