Why is a high temperature needed to melt potassium iodide?

Chemistry
2 answers:
castortr0y [4]3 years ago

Explanation:

Potassium Iodide -

It is a salt , which is made of the ions of potassium and iodine ,

Potassium being the cation , and iodide being the anion .

The ions of this salt are held by strong ionic forces , which hold the ions together very strongly .

Hence , a lot of energy is required to melt the salt , as the bond between the ions is very strong .

Hence , the melting point of this salt , i.e. , Potassium Iodide , is very strong .

Potassium Iodide have a lot of strong bonds which requires a very high temperature (high energy) to break them and change into a different state of matter.

An example of gaining potential energy
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

An example for gaining potential energy would be: A glass bottle on the top of a high shelf would have more high potential energy than a glass bottle on the middle or bottom shelf because it has a long way or more farther to fall down or brake.

Explanation:

Remember Potential Energy is the restored energy of an object has.

I hope this helps you!

What is the relationship between the concentration and the rate of the reaction?
zalisa [80]

Answer:

When the concentration of all the reactants increases, more molecules or ions interact to form new compounds, and the rate of reaction increases. When the concentration of a reactant decreases, there are fewer of that molecule or ion present, and the rate of reaction decreases.

Which of the following processes have a ΔS < 0? Which of the following processes have a ΔS < 0? carbon dioxide(g) → carbon
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

All of the above processes have a ΔS < 0.

Explanation:

ΔS represents change in entropy of a system. Entropy refers to the degree of disorderliness of a system.

The question requests us to identify the process that has a negative change of entropy.

carbon dioxide(g) → carbon dioxide(s)

There is  a change in state from gas to solid. Solid particles are more ordered than gas particles so this is a negative change in entropy.

water freezes

There is  a change in state from liquid to solid. Solid particles are more ordered than liquid particles so this is a negative change in entropy.

propanol (g, at 555 K) → propanol (g, at 400 K)

Temperature is directly proportional to entropy, this means higher temperature leads t higher entropy.

This reaction highlights a drop in temperature which means a negative change in entropy.

methyl alcohol condenses

Condensation is the change in state from gas to liquid. Liquid particles are more ordered than gas particles so this is a negative change in entropy.
