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.

The solubility of a compound with a molecular weight of 233.2 is determined to be 27.9 g in 125.0 g of water at 398 K. Express t
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

0.960 m

Explanation:

Given data

  • Mass of the solute: 27.9 g
  • Molar mass of the solute: 233.2 g/mol
  • Mass of the solvent: 125.0 g = 0.1250 kg

First, we will calculate the moles of solute.

27.9 g × (1 mol/233.2 g) = 0.120 mol

The molality of the compound is:

m = moles of solute / kilograms of solvent

m = 0.120 mol / 0.1250 kg

m = 0.960 m

g Suppose a sample of an ideal gas in a container is subjected to a temperature change. A decrease in temperature will the kinet
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

323.15 °C

Explanation:

Considering the ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Thus, at constant volume and number of moles, Pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of  the gas.

P ∝ T

Also,

Using Charle's law  

\frac {P_1}{T_1}=\frac {P_2}{T_2}

Given ,  

P₂ = 2P₁

T₁ = 25 °C

T₂ = ?

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T₁ = (25 + 273.15) K = 298.15 K  

Using above equation as:

\frac{P_1}{298.15}=\frac{2P_1}{T_2}

T_2=2\times 298.15\ K

New temperature = 596.3 K

Also,

T(K) - 273.15 = T( °C)

<u>So, Temperature = 596.3 - 273.15 °C = 323.15 °C</u>

Determine the molar mass of water. WRITE THE UNITS​
irinina [24]
You can use the periodic table.
H2O = Water
Two hydrogen
One oxygen
I don’t know if your numbers are rounded but if you look at your periodic table, you will see a number close to 1.008 for hydrogen and a number close to 15.999 for oxygen. You can multiple the number for hydrogen twice and add 15.999. You should get a number close to 18.015 g/mol.

In a bottle of soda, there is 0.24 mole of CO2. How many grams of CO2 are in the bottle?
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

"Very simple" - so make sure you learn this - this is the basis for chemistry!

ok - you know that there is a certain amout of a chemical (CO2) in a given volume. That amount is in moles.You need grams. This is a unit conversion problem; you need to convert the units from moles (0.30 moles CO2) to grams (__ grams CO2).

You need to know the molecular weight of CO2, which has 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms. A carbon atom's atomic weight is (off the periodic table):

C = 12.011 grams per mole (aka g/mol)

An oxygen atom's atomic weight: O = 15.999 grams per mole (g/mol)

Now, add the atomic weights together to get the molecular weight (remember 1 carbon and 2 oxygens):

1*(12.011 g/mol) + 2*(15.999 g/mol) = 44.009 g/mol (this is the conversion factor you need for your final calculation)

Now, convert from moles CO2 to grams CO2 by multiplying (ensure the units cancel correctly):

(0.30 mole CO2)*(44.009 g CO2/mol CO2) = 13.2027 g CO2 = 13 g CO2 (2 sig. figs.)
