Why is a high temperature needed to melt potassium iodide?

Chemistry

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.

A gas cylinder of volume 5.00 l contains 1.00 g of ar and 0.500 g of ne. the temperature is 275 k. find the partial pressure of
amid [387]
<span>11.3 kPa The ideal gas law is PV = nRT where P = Pressure V = Volume n = number of moles R = Ideal gas constant (8.3144598 L*kPa/(K*mol) ) T = Absolute temperature We have everything except moles and volume. But we can calculate moles by starting with the atomic weight of argon and neon. Atomic weight argon = 39.948 Atomic weight neon = 20.1797 Moles Ar = 1.00 g / 39.948 g/mol = 0.025032542 mol Moles Ne = 0.500 g / 20.1797 g/mol = 0.024777375 mol Total moles gas particles = 0.025032542 mol + 0.024777375 mol = 0.049809918 mol Now take the ideal gas equation and solve for P, then substitute known values and solve. PV = nRT P = nRT/V P = 0.049809918 mol * 8.3144598 L*kPa/(K*mol) * 275 K/5.00 L P = 113.8892033 L*kPa / 5.00 L P = 22.77784066 kPa Now let's determine the percent of pressure provided by neon by calculating the percentage of neon atoms. Divide the number of moles of neon by the total number of moles. 0.024777375 mol / 0.049809918 mol = 0.497438592 Now multiply by the pressure 0.497438592 * 22.77784066 kPa = 11.33057699 kPa Round the result to 3 significant figures, giving 11.3 kPa</span>

1. Ionization energy is the energy needed to remove an electron from an atom. We can use the periodic table to predict ionizatio
just olya [345]

Ionization energy increases from left to right because the left wants to lose elctrons and the right wants to gain electron

As you go a group it is easier lose lose because the electrons are farther away from the nucleus and there is less attraction from the positive charges.

It should be 3p3. the p level can hold 6 electrons

Rubidium group 1, 1 valence electrons very reactive

Mg2,2 very reactive

Al 3, 3 reactive
