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.

A scientist triples the temperature of a gas at constant pressure. By what factor does the gas’s volume change?
laila [671]
Hey there,

A scientist triples the temperature of a gas at constant pressure. By what factor does the gas’s volume change?

I believe that  when the scientist triples the temperature of the gas at a certain and constant pressure, the factor of the gas volume would change most likely with the double amount of pressure that the scientist put in the first place.
