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

Chemistry
2 answers:
Maurinko [17]3 years ago
5 0

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.

Choose the element described by the following electron configuration.
nadezda [96]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Argon

Explanation:

Electron configuration given               1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶

To find the element whose electron configuration is given, we can do it by two methods.

Number 1. Sum all the exponents the result will give you the atomic number of the element.

                      2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 6 = 18

The element with an atomic number of 18 is Argon.

Number 2. Look at the last terms of the electronic configuration

                      3s² 3p⁶

Number three indicates that this element is in the third period in the periodic table.

Sum the exponents    2 + 6 = 8

Number 8 indicates that this element is the number 8 of that period without considering the transition elements.

The element with these characteristics is Argon.

The heat capacity of water is 1cal degree'g1 (1 calorie per degree centigrade, per gram). You are given 1 gallon of water at 25
sdas [7]

Answer:

The heat needed to boil 1 gallon of water is 81,490.62 Joules.

Explanation:

Q=mc\Delta T

Where:

Q = heat absorbed or heat lost

c = specific heat of substance

m = Mass of the substance  

ΔT = change in temperature of the substance

We have :

Volume of water = V = 1 gal = 4546.09 mL

Density of water , d= 1 g/mL

mass of water = m = d × V = 1g/mL × 4546.09 mL =  4546.09 g

Specific heat of water = c = 1 Cal/g°C

ΔT = 100°C - 25°C = 75 °C

9 (boiling pint of water is 100°C)

Heat absorbed by the water to make it boil:

Q= 4546.09 g\times 1 Cal/g^oC\times 75^oC=340,956.75 Cal

1 calorie = 4.184 J

Q=\frac{340,956.75}{4.184} J = 81,490.62 J

The heat needed to boil 1 gallon of water is 81,490.62 Joules.

Calcium hydroxide is a strong base but is not very soluble ( Ksp = 5.02 X 10-6 ). What is the pH of a saturated solution of Ca(O
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer : The pH of a saturated solution is, 12.33

Explanation : Given,

K_{sp} = 5.02\times 10^{-6}

First we have to calculate the solubility of OH^- ion.

The balanced equilibrium reaction will be:

Ca(OH)_2\rightleftharpoons Ca^{2+}+2OH^-

Let the solubility will be, 's'.

The concentration of Ca^{2+} ion = s

The concentration of OH^- ion = 2s

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be,

K_{sp}=[Ca^{2+}][OH^-]^2

Let the solubility will be, 's'

K_{sp}=(s)\times (2s)^2

K_{sp}=(4s)^3

Now put the value of K_[sp} in this expression, we get the solubility.

5.02\times 10^{-6}=(4s)^3

s=1.079\times 10^{-2}M

The concentration of Ca^{2+} ion = s = 1.079\times 10^{-2}M

The concentration of OH^- ion = 2s = 2\times (1.079\times 10^{-2}M)=2.158\times 10^{-2}M

First we have to calculate the pOH.

pOH=-\log [OH^-]

pOH=-\log (2.158\times 10^{-2})

pOH=1.67

Now we have to calculate the pH.

pH+pOH=14\\\\pH=14-pOH\\\\pH=14-1.67=12.33

Therefore, the pH of a saturated solution is, 12.33
