A metal X loses 2 electrons and a non-metal Y gains 1 electron. Show the electron dot structure of compound formed between them.

Is it ionic or covalent? Does it have high or low melting point? Will it conduct electricity in solid state or in aqueous solution and why? Will it be soluble in water?

Answer:

The compound is ionic

The compound has a high melting point

The compound will conduct electricity in aqueous solution

The compound will be soluble in water

Explanation:

Now, let us consider the nature of the compound formed when a metal X looses two electrons and a non metal Y accepts one electron.

The compound formed must be ionic in nature with a  formula XY2. Ionic compounds are formed by transfer of electrons from metals to nonmetals.

The ionic substance formed is always soluble in water with a high melting point. Usually, ionic solids do not conduct electricity in the solid state because the charge carriers (ions) are tightly bound in the crystal structure while in the solid state. In aqueous solution, the ions are relatively free hence ionic substances conduct electricity in aqueous solution.

The vapor pressure of ethanol is 30°C at 98.5 mmHg and the heat of vaporization is 39.3 kJ/mol. Determine the normal boiling poi
Gelneren [198K]

Answer : The normal boiling point of ethanol will be, 348.67K or 75.67^oC

Explanation :

The Clausius- Clapeyron equation is :

\ln (\frac{P_2}{P_1})=\frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{R}\times (\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2})

where,

P_1 = vapor pressure of ethanol at 30^oC = 98.5 mmHg

P_2 = vapor pressure of ethanol at normal boiling point = 1 atm = 760 mmHg

T_1 = temperature of ethanol = 30^oC=273+30=303K

T_2 = normal boiling point of ethanol = ?

\Delta H_{vap} = heat of vaporization = 39.3 kJ/mole = 39300 J/mole

R = universal constant = 8.314 J/K.mole

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

\ln (\frac{760mmHg}{98.5mmHg})=\frac{39300J/mole}{8.314J/K.mole}\times (\frac{1}{303K}-\frac{1}{T_2})

T_2=348.67K=348.67-273=75.67^oC

Hence, the normal boiling point of ethanol will be, 348.67K or 75.67^oC

Carbon naturally occurs in two forms: diamond and graphite. Why do these two forms have very different properties?
Nookie1986 [14]
The differences in the properties of diamond and graphite is as a result of how their particles are arranged in space. This space arrangement leads to distinct crystal structures for the two compounds. In diamond, the carbon atoms are arranged in tetrahedral shape while in graphite the carbon atoms arrayed in planes.
 Hope this helps :)
