Explain why phosphorus has a low melting point.
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Phosphorus has a low melting point because the intramolecular forces holding it together is London Dispersion Forces.

Explanation:

London Dispersion Forces (LDF) are the weakest intramolecular forces. You don't need to break the covalent bonds, but rather the Van Der Waals' Forces. If LDF are the weakest forces, then the melting point is low.

Un tanque de acetileno para una antorcha de soldadura de oxiacetileno proporciona 9340 L de gas acetileno, C2H2, a 0°C y 1 atm 2
Helen [10]

Answer:

3.33 tanques de O₂

Explanation:

Basados en la reacción:

2C₂H₂(g) + 5O₂(g) → 4CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)

<em>2 moles de acetileno reaccionan con 5 moles de oxígeno produciendo 4 moles de dióxido de carbono y 2 moles de agua</em>

<em />

La ley de Avogadro dice que el volumen de un gas bajo temperatura y presión constantes es proporcional a las moles de este gas. Así, como 2 moles de acetileno reaccionan con 5 moles de oxígeno, los litros de O₂ necesarios para quemar 9340L de acetileno son:

9340 L C₂H₂ × (5 moles O₂ / 2 moles C₂H₂) = <em>23350L de O₂</em>

Si un tanque contiene 7x10³ L de O₂ serán necesarios:

23350L O₂ ₓ (1 tanque / 7x10³L) =<em> 3.33 tanques de O₂</em>
