Both coal and diamonds are forms of elemental carbon. Coal is brittle while diamonds are considered to be the hardest of all sub

stances known. What is the appropriate justification for this?

Although coal and diamonds are both composed of carbons alone, they differ in their properties because of the bonds present in each substance. Diamonds are composed of covalent bonds which are strong and is crystalline in nature which makes it sturdier. Coal is amorphous which allows the slipping of irregular layers to each other making coal brittle

According to Le Châtelier's principle, what happens if heat is added to a system? apex
anzhelika [568]

Explanation:

Le Chatelier's principle states that for a long period of time if a system is at equilibrium and it is subjected to change in concentration, temperature, volume or pressure then the system shifts to a new equilibrium.

This change will partly counter acts the applied change.

Therefore, when heat is added to the system then equilibrium will shift to the side where temperature or heat is reduced again.

For example,    A + 2B \leftrightharpoons C + D      

Since heat is added to the system, hence, system will shift to the left side or we can say equilibrium will shift to the backward direction.

How many atoms of Lead are in a 62.7 g sample of Lead(II) permanganate?
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

\large \boxed {8.48 \times 10^{22}\text{ atoms}}

Explanation:

1 mol of Pb(MnO₄)₂contains 1 mol of Pb atoms.

1. Moles of Pb

\text{Moles of Pb} = \text{62.7 g Pb(MnO$_{4}$)}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol Pb(MnO$_{4}$)}_{2}}{\text{445.07 g Pb(MnO$_{4}$)}_{2}}\\\\\times \dfrac{\text{1 mol Pb}}{\text{1 mol  Pb(MnO$_{4}$)}_{2}} = \text{0.1409 mol Pb}

2. Atoms of Pb

\text{Atoms of Pb} = \text{0.1409 mol Pb } \times \dfrac{ 6.022  \times 10^{23}\text{ atoms Pb }}{\text{1 mol Pb }}\\\\= \large \boxed {\mathbf{8.48 \times 10^{22}}\textbf{ atoms Pb }}
