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.

Answer:

The answer is "0.00172172603".

Explanation:

Given:

Mass (M) = 1.60 \times  10^{-3} \ g\\\\Density (D) = 9.293 \times 10^{-1} \ \frac{g}{cm^3}\\\\Volume (V) =  ?

Formula:

\to \bold{V = \frac{M}{D}}

       = \frac{1.60 \times  10^{-3}}{9.293 \times  10^{-1}} \\\\  = \frac{1.60 \times  10^{1}}{9.293 \times  10^{3}} \\\\ = \frac{1.60 \times  10}{9.293 \times  1000} \\\\ = \frac{1.60 }{9.293 \times  100} \\\\ = \frac{1.60 }{929.3 } \\\\= 0.00172172603

Ammonia will decompose into nitrogen and hydrogen at high temperature. An industrial chemist studying this reaction fills a flas
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Kp = 0.022

Explanation:

<em>Full question: ...With 2.3 atm of ammonia gas at 32. °C. He then raises the temperature, and when the mixture has come to equilibrium measures the partial pressure of hydrogen gas to be 0.69 atm. </em>

<em />

The equilibrium of ammonia occurs as follows:

2NH₃(g) ⇄ N₂(g) + 3H₂(g)

Where Kp is defined as:

Kp = \frac{P_{N_2}P_{H_2}^3}{P_{NH_3}^2}

<em>Where P represents partial pressure of each gas.</em>

<em />

As initial pressure of ammonia is 2.3atm, its equilibrium concentration will be:

P(NH₃) = 2.3atm - 2X

<em>Where X represents reaction coordinate</em>

<em />

Thus, pressure of hydrogen and nitrogen is:

P(N₂) = X

P(H₂) = 3X.

As partial pressure of hydrogen is 0.69atm:

3X = 0.69

X = 0.23atm:

P(NH₃) = 2.3atm - 2(0.23atm) = 1.84atm

P(N₂) = 0.23atm

P(H₂) = 0.69atm

Kp = \frac{0.23atm*0.69atm^3}{1.84atm^2}

<h3>Kp = 0.022</h3>
