Answer:
Explanation:
The volume and amount are constant, so we can use Gay-Lussac’s Law:
At constant volume, the pressure exerted by a gas is directly proportional to its temperature.
Data:
p₁ = 1520 Torr; T₁ = 27 °C
p₂ = ?; T₂ = 150 °C
Calculations:
(a) Convert the temperatures to kelvins
T₁ = ( 27 + 273.15) K = 300.15 K
T₂ = (150 + 273.15) K = 423.15 K
(b) Calculate the new pressure
(c) Convert the pressure to atmospheres
The melting point of potassium =
Melting point of titanium =
Titanium has a stronger metallic bonding compared to potassium. Titanium being a transition metal has greater number of valence electrons (4 valence electrons) contributing to the valence electron sea compared to potassium which has only one valence electron. The atomic size of Titanium much lower than that of potassium, so the bonding between Titanium atoms is stronger than that of potassium. Hence, the melting point of Titanium is much higher than that of potassium.
