We are given with
Cobalt phosphate - CoPO4
We are asked for the net ionic equation for the phosphate dissolving in H3O+
The net ionic equation is
CoPO4 (s) + H3O+ (aq) -----> HPO42- (aq) + Co3+ (aq) + H2O *(l)
Explanation:
The dipoles in CO are in opposite directions so they cancel each other out, although CO₂ has polar bonds, it is a nonpolar molecule. Therefore, the only intermolecular forces are London dispersion forces. Water (H2O) has hydrogen bond present which is a polar bond which has a high intermolecular force.
Water which has high intermolecular force will require more energy that is a higher temperature to overcome these attractions and are pulled together tightly to form a solid at higher temperatures, so their freezing point is higher.
As the temperature of a liquid decreases, the average kinetic energy of the molecules decreases and they move more slowly.
CO with lower intermolecular forces will not solidify until the temperature is lowered further.
<u>Answer</u>:
A solid will melt at the temperature at which the kinetic energy breaks the
inter-molecular attractions.
<u>Explanation</u>:
The melting point is the state at which "a substance changes its temperature from a solid to liquid". At the melting point temperature, there is an equilibrium between the both the solid and the liquid phase. When the solid particle is heated by increasing the temperature the particle in the solid vibrate quickly and it absorbs kinetic energy.
It leads to the breaking of the organisation of particle in between the solid and that leads to the melting of solid. Thus, at the melting point, the kinetic energy breaks the inter-molecular attractions.
