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.

g When aqueous solutions of and are mixed, a solid forms. Determine the mass of solid formed when 140.7 mL of 0.1000 M is mixed

The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

When aqueous solutions of NaCl and $Pb(NO_3)_2$ are mixed, a solid forms. Determine the mass of solid formed when 140.7 mL of 0.1000 M NaCl is mixed with an excess of an aqueous solution of

Answer: The mass of lead chloride produced is 1.96 g

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per liter of solution. The units of molarity are mol/L. The formula used to calculate molarity:

$\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{ \text{Volume of solution (mL)}}$ .....(1)

Given values:

Molarity of NaCl = 0.1000 M

Volume of the solution = 140.7 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.1000=\frac{\text{Moles of NaCl}\times 1000}{140.7}\\\\\text{Moles of NaCl}=\frac{0.1000\times 140.7}{1000}=0.01407mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of NaCl and lead nitrate follows:

$Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NaCl(aq)\rightarrow PbCl_2(s)+2NaNO_3(aq)$

By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 2 moles of NaCl produces 1 mole of lead chloride

So, 0.01407 moles of NaCl will produce = $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.01407=0.007035mol$ of lead chloride

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass.

The equation used is:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ......(2)

Molar mass of lead chloride = 278.1 g/mol

Plugging values in equation 2:

$\text{Mass of lead chloride}=(0.007035mol\times 278.1g/mol)=1.96g$

Hence, the mass of lead chloride produced is 1.96 g

Calculate the mass of grams of 14.79ml of a substance. It'd density is 1.193gml

Alisiya [41]

D=m/v

Given:
d=1.193g/ml
v= 14.79ml

Solution
m=dv
m=1.193g/ml x 14.79ml

m= 17.644g

Density is the mass per volume of the material. Basically, it refers to the measurement of how crammed together is the matter. The formula to calculate density is rho = m/v wherein rho is the density, m stands for the mass and v stands for the volume.
