What type of solid has the highest melting point?

Chemistry
2 answers:
dem82 [27]3 years ago

Answer: B -Network solids

Ionic solids are held by positive and negative charged ions bonded by electrostatic forces. The electrostatic force is much stronger than dipole–dipole interactions, London dispersion forces, hydrogen bonding.

Molecular solids are held by dipole–dipole interactions, London dispersion forces, or hydrogen bonds. Benzene is an example of this. These inter-molecular force are much weaker than electrostatic force.

The metallic bonds are much weaker than electrostatic force. Similarly, in non-metallic solids the atoms are held by covalent bonds. These covalent bonds are weaker than the electrostatic force.

Thus we can conclude that electrostatic force is the strongest when compared to  dipole–dipole interactions, London dispersion forces, hydrogen bonding,covalent and metallic bonds. Thus ionic solids will have the highest melting point as more energy is required to break the ionic bonds as this is the strongest bond compared to the other bonds.

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is B. network solid.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A network solid has the highest melting point.

The reason being that all of the atoms in this type of solid are covalently bonded to one another so the covalent bonds must be broken throughout the substance.

These covalent bonds holding the solid together are stronger than the ionic bonds. So it means that more heat energy is needed to break these bonds and therefore a higher temperature is required for it.

We are given the equation to use which is:
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

We are also given that:
ΔG = 173.3 kJ
T = 303 degrees kelvin
ΔH = 180.7 kJ

Substitute with these givens in the above equation to get ΔS as follows:
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS
173.3 = 180.7 - 303ΔS
303ΔS = 180.7 - 173.3 
303ΔS = 7.4
ΔS = 7.4 / 303 = 0.02442 kJ/K which is equivalent to 24.42 J/k

Based on the above calculations, the correct choice is:
D. 24.42 J/K

If hydrofluoric acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid, which statement is most likely true?
Alchen [17]

Answer: The statement conjugate base of hydrofluoric acid is weaker than that of acetic acid is most likely true.

Explanation:

A strong acid upon dissociation gives a weak conjugate base. This can also be said as stronger is the acid, weaker will be its conjugate base or vice-versa.

Hydrofluoric acid is a strong base as it dissociates completely when dissolved in water.

For example, HF \rightleftharpoons H^{+} + F^{-}

The conjugate base is F^{-} which is a weak base.

Acetic acid is a weak acid as it dissociates partially when dissolved in water. So, the conjugate base of acetic acid is a strong base.

CH_{3}COOH \rightarrow CH_{3}COO^{-} + H^{+}

Thus, we can conclude that the statement conjugate base of hydrofluoric acid is weaker than that of acetic acid is most likely true.

A 19-g piece of metal absorbs 186.75 joules of heat energy, and its temperature changes from 35°C to 175°C. Calculate the specif
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

0.0702J/g°C the specific heat capacity of the metal.

Explanation:m

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{2}-T_{1})

where,

Q = heat absorbed by metal = 186.75 J

m_1 = Mass of metal= 19 g

T_1 = Initial  temperature of metal = 35^oC

T_2 =Final  temperature of metal = 175^oC

c = specific heat of metal= ?

186.75 J=19 g\times c\times (175^oC-35^oC)

c=\frac{186.75 J}{19 g\times (175^oC-35^oC)}

c=0.0702J/g^oC

0.0702J/g°C the specific heat capacity of the metal.

Give the number of lone pairs around the central atom and the geometry of the ion IBr2.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Option E!

Explanation:

If we were to draw the lewis dot structure for IBr2 -, we would first count the total number of valence electrons ( " available electrons " ). Iodine has 7 valence electrons, and so does Bromine, but as Bromine exists in 2, the total number of valence electrons would be demonstrated below;

7 + 7 * ( 2 ) =\\7 + 14 + 1 =\\22 Electrons

Don't forget the negative on the Bromine!

Now go through the procedure below;

1 ) Place Iodine in the middle and draw single bonds to each of the bromine.

2 ) Add three lone pairs on each of the Bromine's

3 ) Now we have 6 electrons left, if we were to exclude the electrons shared in the " single bonds. " This can be placed as three lone pairs on Iodine ( central atom )!

The molecular geometry can't be linear, as there are lone pairs on the atoms. This makes it bent.
