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.

Consider the following reaction:
adell [148]

Answer:

1. d[H₂O₂]/dt = -6.6 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹; d[H₂O]/dt = 6.6 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹

2. 0.58 mol

Explanation:

1.Given ΔO₂/Δt…

    2H₂O₂     ⟶      2H₂O     +     O₂

-½d[H₂O₂]/dt = +½d[H₂O]/dt = d[O₂]/dt  

d[H₂O₂]/dt = -2d[O₂]/dt = -2 × 3.3 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹ = -6.6 × 10⁻³mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹

 d[H₂O]/dt =  2d[O₂]/dt =  2 × 3.3 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹ =  6.6 × 10⁻³mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹

2. Moles of O₂  

(a) Initial moles of H₂O₂

\text{Moles} = \text{1.5 L} \times \dfrac{\text{1.0 mol}}{\text{1 L}} = \text{1.5 mol }

(b) Final moles of H₂O₂

The concentration of H₂O₂ has dropped to 0.22 mol·L⁻¹.

\text{Moles} = \text{1.5 L} \times \dfrac{\text{0.22 mol}}{\text{1 L}} = \text{0.33 mol }

(c) Moles of H₂O₂ reacted

Moles reacted = 1.5 mol - 0.33 mol = 1.17 mol

(d) Moles of O₂ formed

\text{Moles of O}_{2} = \text{1.33 mol H$_{2}$O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol O}_{2}}{\text{2 mol H$_{2}$O}_{2}} = \textbf{0.58 mol O}_{2}\\\\\text{The amount of oxygen formed is $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.58 mol}}$}
