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.

Convert 3.30 g of copper (II) hydroxide Cu(OH)2 to molecules.
ratelena [41]

Answer:

0.18× 10²³ molecules

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of copper hydroxide = 3.30 g

Number of molecules = ?

Solution:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 3.30 g/97.56 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.03 mol

Avogadro number:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.  The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

0.03 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules / 1mol

0.18× 10²³ molecules

A helium filled ballon had a volume of 8.50 L on the ground at 20.0 C and a pressure of 750.0 Torr. After the ballon was release
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

V_2=12.1L

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the given data of volume, pressure and temperature, it is possible to infer this problem can be solved via the combined gas law:

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} =\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

Thus, regarding the question, we evidence we need V2, but first we make sure the temperatures are in Kelvins:

T_1=20+273=293K\\\\T_2=-40+273=233K

Then, we obtain:

V_2=\frac{P_1V_1T_2}{T_1P_2}\\\\V_2=\frac{0.987atm*8.50L*233K}{293K*0.550atm}\\\\V_2=12.1L

Best regards!

Cl2 + 2OH− → Cl− + ClO− + H2O
Nataly_w [17]
Cl2(g) -------> Cl-(aq) + ClO-(aq) 

2e- + Cl2(g) -------> 2Cl-(aq) [reduction] 

4OH-(aq) + Cl2(g) -----------> 2ClO-(aq) + 2H2O(l) + 2e- [oxidation] 
______________________________________... 
2OH-(aq) + Cl2(g) --------> Cl-(aq) + ClO-(aq) + H2O(l)
