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>.

Which separation procedure is most likely to happen? Freezing a compound will break it down into elements. Filtering a mixture w
Alona [7]

Answer is: Filtering a mixture will separate it into substances.

Pure substance is made of only one type of atom (element) or only one type of molecule, it has definite and constant composition with distinct chemical properties. Pure substances can be separated chemically, not physically, that is difference between pure substances and mixtures.

Filtration is use for separation of heterogenous mixture, for example, sand and water.

Buffer solutions that maintain certain levels of pH or acidity are widely used in biochemical experiments. One common buffer sys
Kitty [74]

Answer:

Sodium dihydrogenphosphate = NaH₂PO₄

Sodium monohydrogenphosphate = Na₂HPO₄

Explanation:

A buffer solution is a solution is a solution that resists changes to its oH when a little quantity of strong acid or strong base is added to it.

They are solutions of weak acids or weak bases and their salts known as conjugate base or conjugate acids respectively for the weak acids and weak bases.

For example, a solution of the weak acid ethanoic acid and its salt or conjugate base, sodium ethanoate serves as a buffer solution.

In biochemical experiments, where the pH of the reaction medium is kept as constant and as close as possible to that of the internal environment, buffer solutions are widely used. One of the commonly used buffers is the phosphate buffer. The phosphate buffer consists of the acid salts sodium dihydrogenphosphate and sodium monohydrogenphosphate. Sodium dihydrogenphosphate serves as the weak acid while sodium monohydrogenphosphate serves as the conjugate base.

The formulas of these two compounds are given below:

Sodium dihydrogenphosphate = NaH₂PO₄

Sodium monohydrogenphosphate = Na₂HPO₄

a particular application calls for N2 g with a density of 1.80 g/L at 32 degrees C what must be the pressure of the n2 g in mill
baherus [9]

Answer:

1223.38 mmHg

Explanation:

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

Also,  

Moles = mass (m) / Molar mass (M)

Density (d)  = Mass (m) / Volume (V)

So, the ideal gas equation can be written as:

PM=dRT

Given that:-

d = 1.80 g/L

Temperature = 32 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T = (32 + 273.15) K = 305.15 K

Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28 g/mol

Applying the equation as:

P × 28 g/mol  = 1.80 g/L × 62.3637 L.mmHg/K.mol × 305.15 K

⇒P = 1223.38 mmHg

<u>1223.38 mmHg must be the pressure of the nitrogen gas.</u>

A compound composed of only carbon and chlorine is 85.5% chlorine by mass. propose a lewis structure for the lightest of the pos
aivan3 [116]

Answer is in picture below.

Use 100 grams of the compound:

ω(Cl) = 85.5% ÷ 100%.

ω(Cl) = 0.855; mass percentage of the chlorine in the compound.

m(Cl) = 0.855 · 100 g.

m(Cl) = 85.5 g; mass of chlorine.

m(C) = 100 g - 85.5 g.

m(C) = 14.5 g; mass of carbon.

n(Cl) = m(Cl) ÷ M(Cl).

n(Cl) = 85.5 g ÷ 35.45 g/mol.

n(Cl) = 2.41 mol; amount of chlorine.

n(C) = 14.5 g ÷ 12 g/mol.

n(C) = 1.21 mol; amount of carbon.

n(Cl) : n(C) = 2.41 mol : 1.21 mol = 2 : 1.

This compound is dichlorocarbene CCl₂.
