Explain the reason for low melting and boiling point of a covalent compound ​

Chemistry
2 answers:
Maurinko [17]3 years ago

Explanation:

The low boiling point and melting point of a covalent compound is due to their mutual sharing of electrons and their directional property on bonding compared to ionic as their tendency to gain and loose lather than sharing

Answer:

Covalent compounds have weak forces of attraction between the binding molecules. Thus less energy is required to break the force of bonding. Therefore covalent compounds have low melting and boiling point.

Calculate the standard potential for the following galvanic cell: Fe(s) | Fe2+(aq) || Ag+(aq) | Ag(s) which has the overall bala
Nataly [62]

Answer:

E° = 1.24 V

Explanation:

Let's consider the following galvanic cell: Fe(s) | Fe²⁺(aq) || Ag⁺(aq) | Ag(s)

According to this notation, Fe is in the anode (where oxidation occurs) and Ag is in the cathode (where reduction occurs). The corresponding half-reactions are:

Anode: Fe(s) ⇒ Fe²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻

Cathode: Ag⁺(aq) + 1 e⁻ ⇒ Ag(s)

The standard cell potential (E°) is the difference between the standard reduction potential of the cathode and the standard reduction potential of the anode.

E° = E°red, cat - E°red, an

E° = 0.80 V - (-0.44 V) = 1.24 V

As pH increases, what happens to the hydrogen ion concentration?
levacccp [35]

Answer:

According to libretexts the answer would be B. decreases.

Explanation:

If the hydrogen concentration increases, the pH decreases, causing the solution to become more acidic. This happens when an acid is introduced. ... If the hydrogen concentration decreases, the pH increases, resulting in a solution that is less acidic and more basic

At an elevated temperature, Kp=4.2 x 10^-9 for the reaction 2HBr (g)---> +H2(g) + Br2 (g). If the initial partial pressures o
Damm [24]

Answer : The partial pressure of H_2 at equilibrium is, 1.0 × 10⁻⁶

Explanation :

The partial pressure of HBr = 1.0\times 10^{-2}atm

The partial pressure of H_2 = 2.0\times 10^{-4}atm

The partial pressure of Br_2 = 2.0\times 10^{-4}atm

K_p=4.2\times 10^{-9}

The balanced equilibrium reaction is,

                                2HBr(g)\rightleftharpoons H_2(g)+Br_2(g)

Initial pressure    1.0×10⁻²       2.0×10⁻⁴      2.0×10⁻⁴

At eqm.            (1.0×10⁻²-2p)   (2.0×10⁻⁴+p)  (2.0×10⁻⁴+p)

The expression of equilibrium constant K_p for the reaction will be:

K_p=\frac{(p_{H_2})(p_{Br_2})}{(p_{HBr})^2}

Now put all the values in this expression, we get :

4.2\times 10^{-9}=\frac{(2.0\times 10^{-4}+p)(2.0\times 10^{-4}+p)}{(1.0\times 10^{-2}-2p)^2}

p=-1.99\times 10^{-4}

The partial pressure of H_2 at equilibrium = (2.0×10⁻⁴+(-1.99×10⁻⁴) )= 1.0 × 10⁻⁶

Therefore, the partial pressure of H_2 at equilibrium is, 1.0 × 10⁻⁶

If a sample containing 18.1 g of NH3 is reacted with 90.4 g of
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

3.64g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of NH₃  = 18.1g

Mass of Cu₂O  = 90.4g

Unknown:

Limiting reactant  = ?

Mass of N₂ formed  = ?

Solution:

The reaction equation is given as:

       Cu₂O + 2NH₃ → 6Cu + N₂ + 3H₂O

The limiting reactant is the one in short supply in the reaction. Let us find the number of moles of the given species;

  Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}  

Molar mass of Cu₂O = 2(63.6) + 16  = 143.2g/mol

Molar mass of NH₃  = 14 + 3(1) = 17g/mol

Number of moles of Cu₂O = \frac{18.1}{143.2}   = 0.13moles

Number of moles of NH₃   = \frac{90.4}{17}   = 5.32moles

  From this reaction;

       1 mole of  Cu₂O combines with 2 mole of NH₃

So   0.13moles of  Cu₂O will combine with 0.13 x 2 mole of NH₃

                                              = 0.26moles of NH₃

Therefore, Cu₂O is the limiting reactant. Ammonia is in excess;

Mass of N₂;

   Mass = number of moles x molar mass

    1 mole of Cu₂O  will produce 1 mole of N₂

    0.13 mole of Cu₂O  will produce 0.13 mole of N₂

    Mass  = 0.13 x (2 x 14) = 3.64g
