<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Intermolecular forces.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>Melting point is the temperature at which a solid melts or a solid changes to a liquid.  In liquids melting point is similar to the freezing point. </u></em>
  • <u><em>Melting point of a substance depends on the molecular composition, force of attraction between molecules and also the presence of impurities.</em></u>
  • <em><u>A strong force of attraction between molecules results in a higher melting point. Such that stronger intermolecular forces results to a higher melting point. </u></em>
  • For example, the melting point of ionic compounds is higher due to the strong electrostatic forces joining ions.

Strong intermolecular ion-ion forces are responsible for high melting points. Thus the solid state requires close proximity and high order to have high melting point. Hope this answer helps. Good luck!

If nitrogen (N) has 2 naturally occurring isotopes, nitrogen-14 (78.3%) and nitrogen-16 (21.7%), what is its average r.a.m.?
leva [86]

Answer:

14.434 r.a.m.

Explanation:

  • The atomic mass of an element is a weighted average of its isotopes in which the sum of the abundance of each isotope is equal to 1 or 100%.

∵ The atomic mass of N = ∑(atomic mass of each isotope)(its abundance)

∴ The atomic mass of N = (atomic mass of N-14)(abundance of N-14) + (atomic mass of N-16)(abundance of N-16)

atomic mass of N-14 = 14.0 r.a.m, abundance of N-14 = percent of N-14/100 = 78.3/100 = 0.783.

atomic mass of N-16 = 16.0 r.a.m, abundance of N-16 = percent of N-16/100 = 21.7/100 = 0.217.

∴ The atomic mass of N = (atomic mass of N-14)(abundance of N-14) + (atomic mass of N-16)(abundance of N-16) = (14.0 r.a.m)(0.783) + (16.0 r.a.m)(0.217) = 14.434 r.a.m.

You have a solution that is 0.02M formate (HCOO-) and 0.03M formic acid (HCOOH), which has a Ka of 1.8x10-4. What is the pH of t
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

3.6

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Concentration of formic acid: 0.03 M
  • Concentration of formate ion: 0.02 M
  • Acid dissociation constant (Ka): 1.8 × 10⁻⁴

Step 2: Calculate the pH

We have a buffer system formed by a weak acid (HCOOH) and its conjugate base (HCOO⁻). We can calculate the pH using the <em>Henderson-Hasselbach equation</em>.

pH = pKa +log\frac{[base]}{[acid]} = -log 1.8 \times 10^{-4} + log \frac{0.02}{0.03} = 3.6
