Why does aluminium oxide (Al2O3) have a higher melting point than sodium oxide (Na2O)?

1 answer:

5 0

Al2O3 has a higher melting point than Na2O. This is because the ionic bond between Al3+ ions and O2- ions is stronger than that between Na+ and O2-. The charge on the Al3+ ion is larger than that of the Na+ ion

A chemist wants to make 6.5 L of a .350M CaCl2 solution. What mass of CaCl2(in g) should the chemist use?

kotykmax [81]

First M stands for Molarity which is (moles of solute) / (Liters of solution). we also know that moles = (mass) / (molar mass). so we can form some equations here. We know:
Molarity (M) = moles (mol) / Liters (L)
moles (mol) = (mass) / (molar mass)

we can substitute the (mass) / (molar mass) for (moles) and get:
M = [(mass) / (molar mass)] / Liters

we can now isolate mass and get
M * Liters * molar mass = mass

now we need to find the molar mass of CaCl2 which is 110.98 g/mol

plug the values in and get
.350M * 6.5L * 110.98 g/mol = mass

mass = 252.4795g however the 6.5L has only 2 sig figs so i would say

mass CaCl2 = 2.5 * 10 ^2 g

the volume of gas in a container was originally 3.24L, while at standard pressure 1.00 atm. what will the volume be if the press

Simora [160]

Hello!

To solve this problem, we will use the Boyle's Law, which describes how pressure changes when volume changes and vice-versa. The equation for this law is the following one, and we'll clear for V2:

$P1*V1=P2*V2 \\ \\ V2= \frac{P1*V1}{P2}= \frac{3,24 L * 1 atm}{1,20 atm}= 2,7 L$

So, the final volume after increasing the pressure would be 2,7 L. That means that volume decreases when the pressure increases

Calculate the amount of heat gained when one 250 gram bottle is heated from 25oC to 30oC. The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g

Fed [463]

Answer:

5230J

Explanation:

Mass (m) = 250g

Initial temperature (T1) = 25°C

Final temperature (T2) = 30°C

Specific heat capacity (c) = 4.184J/g°C

Heat energy (Q) = ?

Heat energy (Q) = Mc∇T

Q = heat energy

M = mass of the substance

C = specific heat capacity

∇T = change in temperature = T2 - T1

Q = 250 × 4.184 × (30 - 25)

Q = 1046 ×5

Q = 5230J

The heat energy required to raise the temperature of 250g of water from 25°C to 30°C is 5230J
