Which reason best explains why metals are ductile instead of brittle?

Chemistry
1 answer:
MaRussiya [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: -

Metals are ductile instead of brittle because they have flexible bonds.

Explanation: -

Metals have a property called ductility.

It is the ability of a metal to be drawn into wires.

Metals due to greater bond flexibility are more ductile.

The most ductile metal known to man is Gold. Metallic wires find many applications in modern machinery particularly.

Usually ductility and malleability go together.

NaCl has a Delta. Hfus = 30. 2 kJ/mol. What is the mass of a sample of NaCl that needs 732. 6 kJ of heat to melt completely? Use
tia_tia [17]

The mass of NaCl sample has been 24.3 g. Thus, option A is correct.

The heat of fusion has been the amount of heat required to convert  1 mole of substance into solid to liquid state.

The heat required has been given as:

Q=m\Delta H

<h3>Computation for the mass of NaCl</h3>

The given solution has heat of fusion, \Delta H_{fus}=30.2\rm kJ/mol

The heat required to melt the sample has been, Q=732.6\;\rm kJ/mol

Substituting the values for the mass of NaCl

\rm 732.6\;kJ/mol=Mass\;\times\;30.2\;kJ/mol\\\\&#10;Mass=\dfrac{732.6}{30.2}\;g\\\\&#10; Mass=24.3\;g\\

The mass of NaCl sample has been 24.3 g. Thus, option A is correct.

Balance the combustion eqation; __C5H + __O2 ---&gt; __CO2+__H2O
stira [4]
This equation C5H + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O has a mistake.

C5H is wrong. You missed the subscript of H.

I will do it for you assuming some subscript to show you the procedure, but you have to use the right equation to get the right balanced equation.

Assuming the tha combustion equation is C5H12 + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O

First you need to  balance C, so you put a 5 before CO2 and get

C5H12 + O2 ---> 5CO2 + H2O

Now you count the hydrogens: 12 on the left and 2 on the right. So put a 6 before H2O and get:

C5H12 + O2 ---> 5CO2 + 6H2O

Now count the oxygens: 2 on the left and 16 on the right, so put an 8 on before O2:

=> C5H12 + 8O2 ---> 5CO2 + 6H2O.

You can verify that the equation is balanced

a) One kmol of N2O4 dissociates at 25℃, 1 atm to form an equilibrium ideal gas mixture of N2O4 and NO2 in which the amount of N2
horsena [70]

Answer:

neq N2O4 = 0.9795 mol.....P = 0.5 atm; T = 25°C

Explanation:

             ni      change    eq.

N2O4    1          1 - x       0.8154.....P = 1 atm; T = 25°C

NO2      0        0 + x          x

∴ x = neq = Peq.V / R.T.....ideal gas mix

if P = 0.5 atm, T = 25°C; assuming: V = 1 L

⇒ x = neq = ((0.5 atm)(1 L))/((0.082 atm.L/K.mol)(298 K))

⇒ x = neq = 0.0205 mol

⇒ neq N2O4 = 1 - x = 1 - 0.0205 = 0.9795 mol
