Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Melting point is defined as the point where a solid substance starts to convert into a liquid state.

For example, ice starts to melt at a temperature above 0 degree celsius.

More strong is the intermolecular forces of attraction present in a substance more will be the heat required by it to break the bonds between its particles. So, that its state can be changed.

For example, a solid substance required more heating as compared to a liquid substance to change its state.

Thus, we can conclude that high intermolecular forces of attraction is generally responsible for high melting points.

A. High intermolecular forces of attraction. If there are high intermolecular forces, the molecules will need large energies to escape into the liquid. The substance will nave a high melting point.

The other options are incorrect because they are weak forces. They would cause low melting points.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Percentage of carbon:

${ \tt{ = \frac{24}{30} \times 100\%}} \\ = 80\%$

Percentage of hydrogen:

${ \tt{ = \frac{6}{30} \times 100\%} } \\ = 20\%$

The elemental analysis of an organic solid extracted from gum arabic (a gummy substance used in adhesives, inks, and pharmaceuti

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

The molar mass of the organic solid is 120.16 g/mol.

The molecular formula of an organic solid is $C_4H_8O_4$

Explanation:

Let the molecular mass of an organic solid be $C_xH_yO_z$

$\Delta T_b=K_b\times m$

$Delta T_b=K_b\times \frac{\text{Mass of solid}}{\text{Molar mass of solid}\times \text{Mass of diphenyl in Kg}}$

where,

$\Delta T_f$ =Elevation in boiling point = $=1.5^oC$

Mass of organic solid= 0.561 g

Mass of diphenyl = 24.9 g = 0.0249 kg (1 kg = 1000 g)

$K_b$ = boiling point constant = 8.00 °C/m

m = molality

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

$1.5^oC=8.00 ^oC/m\times \frac{0.561 g}{\text{Molar mass of solid}\times 0.0249 kg}$

${\text{Molar mass of solid}}=120.16 g/mol$

$\%=\frac{\text{Number of atoms}\times \text{mass of an atom}}{\text{molas mass of compound}}\times 100$

Percentage of carbon in an organic solid = 40.0%

$40\%=\frac{x\times 12 g/mol}{120.16 g/mol}\times 100$

x = 4.0

Percentage of hydrogen in an organic solid = 6.7%

$6.7\%=\frac{y\times 1 g/mol}{120.16 g/mol}\times 100$

y = 8.0

Percentage of hydrogen in an organic solid = 6.7%

$53.3\%=\frac{x\times 12 g/mol}{120.16 g/mol}\times 100$

y = 4.0

The molecular formula of an organic solid is $C_4H_8O_4$

Give two examples of steroids

Sonbull [250]

Steroids are like hormones that greatly influences bodily activities mostly in growth and function. These functions may modify, change and control one’s body organs or system that’ll vary in form, shape or structure due to these hormone-like compounds and also, it can affect one’s psychological and neurological state. There are several types of steroids. Examples can include: 
1. Sex steroids. These are can influence reproduction and sex characteristics. 
2. Anabolic steroids. Most abused in many athletic activities. These steroids are used for muscle and bone growth.
