Answer:

False

Explanation:

The temperature at which a solid melts, known as its melting point is highly characteristic of a compound and element.

The melting point of pure substances, compounds and elements is definite and not varied.

Melting point is an intensive property of matter.
It does not depend on the amount of matter present.
It is an innate or intrinsic property of every matter.
For example, no matter the volume or mass of water, it will always boil at 100°C, all things being equal.

Therefore, melting point of most solids is characteristic of compounds and elements.

Can spectrum colors be mixed

larisa86 [58]

Additive color mixing involves multiple sources of light with different colors in each source. Subtractive color mixing involves a single source of light with different colors absorbing various wavelengths of the color spectrum. Secondary colors of one system serve as the primary colors for the other.

Answer: The expression for equilibrium constant is $K_{eq}=\frac{[HOCl]^2}{[H_2O][Cl_2]^2}$

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as $K_{eq}$

For the general chemical equation:

$aA+bB\rightleftharpoons cC+dD$

The expression for $K_c$ is given as:

$K_c=\frac{[C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}$

For the given chemical reaction:

$2HgO(s)+H_2O(l)+2Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2HOCl(aq.)+HgO.HgCl_2(s)$

The expression for $K_{eq}$ is given as:

$K_{eq}=\frac{[HOCl]^2[HgO.HgCl_2]}{[HgO]^2[H_2O][Cl_2]^2}$

The concentration of solid is taken to be 0.

So, the expression for $K_{eq}$ is given as:

$K_{eq}=\frac{[HOCl]^2}{[H_2O][Cl_2]^2}$

53. Which of the following is NOT a correct interpretation of CH2O, the formula of the compound formaldehyde?

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

B There are two grams of hydrogen for each gram of carbon in this compound.

Explanation:

The second option is a wrong interpretation of this chemical representation of formaldehyde.

Formaldehyde is an organic compound with the formula CH₂O.

As this is the simplest formula of the compound, it is the empirical formula. Also, the formula is the actual one for the compound and it is the molecular formula.

Chemically, the formula shows 1 mole of carbon, 2 moles of H and 1 mole of oxygen in the compound.

A mole of a substance is more a less a unit of measurement in chemistry and it is the amount of substance that contains the avogadro's number of particles.

This ratio is not the mass of chemical species in the compound. You cannot tell the mass of elements in a compound by merely looking at the formula.
