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.

Calculate the mass of 4.50 moles of Ca3(PO3)4
Ivahew [28]
Stoichiometry: 
First, calculate the number of grams for one mole of Ca3 (PO3)4
(3 * (Mass of Ca)) + (4 * (Mass of P + (3 * Mass of Oxygen)))
= (3*40.08) + 4(30.97 + (3*16.00))
=(120.24) + 4(78.97)
=436.12 g / mol Ca3(PO3)4 
This means there are 436.12 g per 1 mole of Ca(PO3)4. Since there are 4.50 moles of Calcium Phosphate, mulitply the molar mass of Ca(PO3)4 by 4.50 and you should get 1962.54 g. Since there are 3 sigfigs, the final answer is 1960 g.

on a side note: I put in all my work in case 1. your periodic table if different, 2. my work is wrong, 3. you put in the question wrong because I feel that the actual compound would be Ca3(PO4)3 instead of Ca3(PO3)4 (if this is the case, the answer should be 1820 g).

_Li + __F2 → _LIF<br> How do I balance this?
Semmy [17]

Answer:

 2Li   +   F₂    →    2LiF

Explanation:

The reaction expression is given as:

          Li   +   F₂    →     LiF

We are to balance the expression. In that case, the number of atoms on both sides of the expression must be the same.

 Let use a mathematical approach to solve this problem;

  Assign variables a,b and c as the coefficients that will balance the expression:

             aLi   +  bF₂    →     cLiF

Conserving Li: a  = c

                   F:  2b  = c

          let a = 1, c  = 1 and b  = \frac{1}{2}  

  Multiply through by 2;

        a  = 2, b = 1 and c  = 2

               2Li   +   F₂    →    2LiF

An electric kettle uses electrical energy to boil water. Energy from the electricity is transferred to the water, heating it up.
pentagon [3]

The energy input into the icemaker is used to drive the cooling system. The equipment has a radiant that requires to be run by electricity.  Liquid ammonia in the radiant tubes of the icemaker pick up heat from the water and evaporate. As the ammonia evaporates and moves to the radiator, the action of the fan cause it to lose heat to the environment. The ammonia cools and becomes liquid and moves back to collect more hest from teh water. This cycle continues unilt the water turns to ice.
