Answer:

A solid will melt at the temperature at which the kinetic energy breaks the inter-molecular attractions.

Explanation:

The melting point is the state at which "a substance changes its temperature from a solid to liquid". At the melting point temperature, there is an equilibrium between the both the solid and the liquid phase. When the solid particle is heated by increasing the temperature the particle in the solid vibrate quickly and it absorbs kinetic energy.

It leads to the breaking of the organisation of particle in between the solid and that leads to the melting of solid. Thus, at the melting point, the kinetic energy breaks the inter-molecular attractions.

What is the volume of 1 lb of mercury. the density of mercury is 13.546g/ml?

joja [24]

Take the inversion of density: 1mL/13.6 g and multiply it by the conversion factor 453.6 g/ 1 lb and the given 5.00 lb. Units for mass (grams) and units for weight (lbs) cancel leaving only units of volume. I believe it should be 167 mL or 0.167 L

List at least two chemical reactions that resulted in a white precipitate. For these reactions list the possible chemical name o

Alina [70]

Barium chloride + sodium sulphate --> barium sulphate + sodium chloride
BaCl2 + Na2SO4 ---> BaSO4 + 2 NaCl
The barium sulphate appears as a white precipitate

Silver nitrate + Sodium chloride ---> Silver Chloride + sodium nitrate
AgNO3 + NaCl ----> AgCl + NaNO3
The silver chloride appears as a white precipitate.

These are sometimes called double decomposition reactions.

Which statement best describes a solution? A). a mixture consisting of minute particles suspended in a medium that start moving

makvit [3.9K]

The statement that best describes a solution is the option C: a mixture having a uniform composition where the components cannot be seen separately and all components are in the same state. That is exactly what a solution is: a homogeneous mixture, the composition is uniform, but it can vary from one solution to other. The components must be in the safe phase, but it can be any phase: solid, liquid or gas. The most classical and clear example is the salt solution, NaCl. When you dissolve a spoon of NaCl in water you will not be able to distinguish nor separating the solute from the solvent, and the mixture will have uniform composition.
