Which molecular solid would have the highest melting point?

Chemistry
1 answer:
TEA [102]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Choice B. The solid with hydrogen bonding.

Assumption: the molecules in the four choices are of similar sizes.

Explanation:

Molecules in a molecular solid are held intact with intermolecular forces. To melt the solid, it is necessary to overcome these forces. The stronger the intermolecular forces, the more energy will be required to overcome these attractions and melt the solid. That corresponds to a high melting point.

For molecules of similar sizes,

  • The strength of hydrogen bonding will be stronger than the strength of dipole-dipole attractions.
  • The strength of dipole-dipole attractions (also known as permanent dipole) will be stronger than the strength of the induced dipole attractions (also known as London Dispersion Forces.)

That is:

Strength of Hydrogen bond > Strength of Dipole-dipole attractions > Strength of Induced dipole attractions.

Accordingly,

Melting point due to Hydrogen bond > Melting point due to Dipole-dipole attractions > Melting point due to Induced Dipole attractions.

  • Induced dipole is possible between all molecules.
  • Dipole-dipole force is possible only between polar molecules.
  • Hydrogen bonds are possible only in molecules that contain \rm H atoms that are bonded directly to atoms of \rm F, \rm O, or \rm N.

As a result, induced dipoles are the only force possible between molecules of the solid in choice C. Assume that the molecules are of similar sizes, such that the strengths of induced dipole are similar for these molecules.

Melting point in choice B > Melting point in choice D > Melting point in choice A and C.

How much time would it take to distribute one avagadro's number of wheat grains if 10^10 grains are A)1.9*10^2 years B)1.9*10^10
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

It takes  1.9 \times 10^{6} years to distribute all the grains.

Explanation:

In one second, 10^{10} grains of wheat are distributed.

We are supposed to find the time it would take to Distribute Avogadro number of grains.

1 avogadro number = 6.022 \times 10^{23}

Number of grains distributed in 1 day = 86400 \times 10^{10}

                                                             = 8.64 \times 10^{14}

Number of grains distributed in 1 year= 8.64 \times 10^{14} \times 365

                                 = 3.1536 \times 10^{17}

Time taken = \frac{Number of grains to be distributed}{grains distributed in 1 year}

            = \frac {6.022 \times 10^{23}}{3.1536\times 10^{17}}

            = 1.9 \times 10^{6}

A car with a mass of 1,500 kg is traveling at a speed of 30 m/s. What force must be applied to stop the car in 3 seconds ?
saw5 [17]

Yo sup??

we can solve this problem by applying Newton's 2nd law

F*t=Δp

p=momentum

pi=mu=1500*30

pf=mv=m*0=0

Therefore

F*3=1500*30

F=15000 N

Hope this helps.
