a metal melts at 450°c.is this property of the metal classified as chemical or physical ?explain your choice

Chemical properties describe how things undergo chemical reactions, while physical properties describe how things behave when they're not undergoing reactions.

In the case of melting a metal, the melted metal continues to be the same material - just in a liquid rather than a solid form. As a result, melting (and all phase changes, for that matter) is a physical change and the ability of the metal to melt at 450 degrees is a physical property.

In each reaction box, place the best reagent from the list below. draw the intermediate compound.

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Reagent A: PBr₃

Reagent B: Mg in Et₂O.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, your facing a problem in which a carboxylic acid is produced starting by an alcohol. More specifically, cyclopentanol must react with phosphorous tribromide in order to yield bromocyclopentane which is more likely to produce a carboxylic acid, therefore, reagent A is PBr₃.

On the other hand, by means of the production of the specified product, bromocyclopentane must react with carbon dioxide and magnesium in diethyl ether in acidic media to promote the production of the cyclopentanoic acid via the grignard reaction (substitution of the bromine by the carboxyle group), therefore, reagent B is Mg in Et₂O.

Best regards.

What is the molarity of an H3PO4solution if 15.0 mL is completely neutralized by 38.5 mL of 0.150 MNaOH? Please explain your ans

rodikova [14]

Answer:

M=Molarity

V=volume

change millilitre to litre

so:15ml=0.015 L

:38.5ml=0.0385 L

M1V1=M1V1

M1* 0.015 L= 0.15M*0.0385 L

M1=0.00385

grigory [225]

I believe sam's response is correct.
When human is riding a moving target with constant speed over a period of time, we tend to have a visual acceleration perception due to our optical movement.
This make people such as Carrie believes that the carousel horses are accelerating while it actually stayed at constant pace.
