Answer:

The correct answer is option b, that is, molecular solids.

Explanation:

Generally, the ionic compounds exhibit much higher melting points in comparison to molecular compounds. The ionic compounds are held together by ionic attractions between the negative and positive ions. These are known as ionic bonds. In order to melt or break an ionic component, there is a need to disrupt these bonds. This needs an ample amount of energy.  

The molecules are held in the association through covalent bonds, these are robust, and however, there is no requirement to dissociate these covalent bonds in order to melt a molecular component. Each and every molecule is neutral in molecular solids and is fascinated by its adjacent neutral molecule with the help of an intermolecular force.  

Thus, to melt a molecular component, one requires to dissociate these weak intermolecular forces between the neutral molecules. That is why ionic compounds usually exhibit higher melting points in comparison to the molecular compounds.

You have 50 ml of a complex mixture of weak acids that contains some HF (pKa = 3.18) and some HCN (pKa = 9.21). Which is larger,
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

\frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]} is larger

Explanation:

pK_{a}=-logK_{a} , where K_{a} is the acid dissociation constant.

For a monoprotic acid e.g. HA, K_{a}=\frac{[H^{+}][A^{-}]}{[HA]} and \frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}=\frac{K_{a}}{[H^{+}]}

So, clearly, higher the K_{a} value , lower will the the pK_{a}

In this mixture, at equilibrium, [H^{+}] will be constant.

K_{a} of HF is grater than K_{a} of HCN

Hence, (\frac{F^{-}}{[HF]}=\frac{K_{a}(HF)}{[H^{+}]})>(\frac{CN^{-}}{[HCN]}=\frac{K_{a}(HCN)}{[H^{+}]})

So, \frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]} is larger

Pure magnesium metal is often found as ribbons and can easily burn in the presence of oxygen. when 2.59 g of magnesium ribbon bu
stepan [7]
Burning Mg in the air and reacting with O2 forming a white powder of MnO

So the equation is going to be:
Mn + O2 ⇒ MnO (this equation is not conserved)

to make it equilibrium:
1- First we should put 2Mno to equal the O2 on both sides.
So it will be:
Mg + O2⇒ 2MgO
2- Second we should put 2Mn to equal the Mn on both sides.
2Mg + O2⇒ 2MgO (this equation is conserved)
After putting the physical states the final equilibrium equation is going to be:
                        Δ
2Mg(s) + O2(g)⇒ 2MgO(s)

How much heat is absorbed when 447 g of water , Cp = 4.184 J/goC, goes from 25.0 oC to 35.0 oC?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

The answer to your question is  Q = 18702.5 J

Explanation:

Data

mass of water = m = 447 g

Cp = 4.184 J/g°C

Temperature 1 = T1 = 25°C

Temperature 2 = T2 = 35°C

Heat = Q = ? Joules

Process

1.- Write the formula to calculate heat

    Q = mCp(T2 - T1)

2.- Substitution

    Q = (447)(4.184)(35 - 25)

3.- Simplification

    Q = (447)(4.184)(10)

4.- Result

    Q = 18702.5 J
