Which factor is generally responsible for high melting points?

Chemistry

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 <em>incorrect </em>because they are <em>weak force</em>s. They would cause <em>low melting points</em>.

sammy [17]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

If the student needs one gram but so far only has 0.37 grams, then the amount they need is the difference between what they need and how much they already have. 1-0.37=0.63 grams.

...which isn't actually an option because none of them have decimal points but I would say it is B anyway because it is the equivalent ratio and maybe there was a typo.

Hope this helped!

Carvone (C10H14O) is the main component of spearmint oil. It has a pleasant aroma and mint flavor. Carvone is often added to che
marta [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of carbon in given amount of carvone is 47.52 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}     .....(1)

Given mass of carvone = 55.4 g

Molar mass of carvone = 150.22 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of carvone}=\frac{55.4g}{150.22g/mol}=0.369mol

The chemical formula of carvone is C_{10}H_{14}O

This contains 10 moles of carbon atom, 14 moles of hydrogen atom and 1 mole  of oxygen atom

Now, calculating the mass of carbon in carvone from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of carbon = 12 g/mol

Moles of carbon = (10 × 0.396) = 3.96 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

3.96mol=\frac{\text{Mass of carbon}}{12g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of carbon}=(3.96mol\times 12g/mol)=47.52g

Hence, the mass of carbon in given amount of carvone is 47.52 grams
