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.

Atomic mass silicon = 28.085 u

1 mol Si ---------------- 28.085 g
? ------------------------ 245 g

245 x 1 / 28.085 => 8.72 mol

What is advantage of using single fixed pulley although it doesnot multiply force?

luda_lava [24]

A single fixed pulley is used to lift load by changing the direction of the lifting force. Even though a single fixed pulley has no mechanical gain in that, the effort applied is greater than the load, it is preferred in use since you do not have to pull or push the pulley up and down.

Answer:

8. the answer is B.

9. the answer is A.

Explanation:

Hello!

8. In this case, by bearing to mind that the limiting reactant is always completely consumed and the excess one remain as a leftover at the end of the reaction, we can also infer that as all the limiting reactant is consumed, it must determine the maximum amount of product as the excess reactant will hypothetically produce a greater mass than expected; thus, the answer to this question is B.

9. In this case, since the mole ratio of oxygen to water is 1:2, the following proportional factor is used to calculate the produced mass of water:

$3molO_2*\frac{2molH_2O}{1molO_2}=6molH_2O$

Thus, the answer is this case is A.

Best regards!
