Here is the correct answer of the given question above. Ferrocene has a higher melting point that acetylferrocene because  it takes more energy to overcome the intermolecular forces between atoms. <span>Acetylferrocene melts at 80 degrees and Ferrocene melts at 170. Hope this answer helps.</span>

Answer:

Ferrocene is symmetrical while acetyl ferrocene is not symmetrical.

Explanation:

Acetyl ferrocene is attached to an acetyl group, the upper part of the ring is asymmetrical. On the other hand, ferrocene, whose rings are symmetrical (no groups attached to any of the rings) has a higher melting point due to symmetry.

This means that symmetry in a molecule implies a higher higher melting point.

As a general rule, symmetrical molecules in crystalline form usually have higher melting temperatures and exhibit lower solubilities when they are compared with molecules of similar structure but with lower symmetry.

kogti [31]

Answer: Sodium chloride is an ionic solid, and when it dissolves in water, its individual sodium and chloride ions are dissociated from one another. Sugar molecules, on the other hand, maintain the bonds between their constituent atoms when dissolved, and thus remain as whole molecules in the solution.

Explanation: Here's why: Salt is about 25% more dense than sugar. Therefore a teaspoon of salt weighs more than a teaspoon of sugar by almost 25%. Your dissolving test would not be accurate because you would be starting out with a larger mass of salt than sugar.

2Fe(OH)3 Fe2O3+3H2O how many grams of Fe2O3 are produced if 10.7 grams of Fe (OH)3 react in this way
sasho [114]

Answer: 7.98 grams of Fe_2O_3 are produced if 10.7 grams of Fe(OH)_3 are reacted.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}      .....(1)  

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of} Fe(OH)_3=\frac{10.7g}{106.87g/mol}=0.100mol  

The chemical equation for the reaction is

2Fe(OH)_3\rightarrow Fe_2O_3+3H_2O

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of Fe(OH)_3 produce = 1 mole of Fe_2O_3

So, 0.100 moles of Fe(OH)_3 produce= \frac{1}{2}\times 0.100=0.05mol of Fe_2O_3  

Mass of Fe_2O_3 =moles\times {\text{Molar Mass}}=0.05mol\times 159.69g/mol=7.98g  

Hence 7.98 grams of Fe_2O_3 are produced if 10.7 grams of Fe(OH)_3 are reacted.
