Why does H2O have a lower melting point than MgO

Chemistry
1 answer:
Vesnalui [34]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Magnesium Oxide (MgO) has a higher melting point than Sodium Chloride (NaCl) which is around 2,800 degrees Celcius. This is because its Mg2+ and O2- ions have a greater number of charges, and so form stronger ionic bonds, than the Na+ and Cl– ions in Sodium Chloride.

If 4.70 L of CO2 gas at 22 ∘C at 789 mmHg is used, what is the final volume, in liters, of the gas at 37 ∘C and a pressure of 75
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

Final Volume = 5.18 Liters

Explanation:

Initial Condition:

P1 = 789 mm Hg x (1/760) atm /mm Hg = 1.038 atm

T1 = 22° C = 273 + 22 = 295 K

V1 = 4.7 L

Final Condition:

P2 = 755 mm Hg x (1/760) atm /mm Hg = 0.99 atm

T2 = 37° C = 273 + 37 = 310 K

V2 = ?

Since, (P1 x V1) / T1 =  (P2 x V2) / T2,

Therefore,

⇒ (1.038)(4.7) / 295 = (0.99)(V2) / 310

⇒ V2 = 5.18 L (Final Volume)

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

pKa = 3.675

Explanation:

  • pKa = - Log Ka

∴ <em>C</em> X-281 = 0.079 M

∴ pH = 2.40

let X-281 a weak acid ( HA ):

∴ HA ↔ H+ + A-

⇒ Ka = [H+] * [A-] / [HA]

mass balance:

⇒<em> C</em> HA = 0.079 M = [HA] + [A-]

⇒ [HA] = 0.079 - [A-]

charge balance:

⇒ [H+] = [A-] + [OH-]... [OH-] is negligible; it comes from to water

⇒ [H+] = [A-]

∴ pH = - log [H+] = 2.40

⇒ [H+] = 3.981 E-3 M

replacing in Ka:

⇒ Ka = [H+]² / ( 0.079 - [H+] )

⇒ Ka = ( 3.981 E-3 )² / ( 0.079 - 3.981 E-3 )

⇒ Ka = 2.113 E-4

⇒ pKa = - Log ( 2.113 E-4 )

⇒ pKa = 3.675
