Why do covalent compounds tend to have lower melting points than ionic compounds?

Chemistry

Because ionic compounds' strong bonds form network structures, which have a stronger attraction than the covalent compounds which are molecules.

Simple molecular substances consist of molecules in which the atoms are joined by strong covalent bonds. Their molecules are held together by weak forces, so these substances have low melting and boiling points. ... They have high melting and boiling points.

A sample containing 16.93 metal pellets is poured into a graduated cylinder containing 11.2 of water, causing the water level in
mixer [17]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 1.99 g/mL</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

mass = 16.93 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 19.7 - 11.2 = 8.5 mL

We have

density =  \frac{16.93}{8.5}  \\  = 1.9917647058...

We have the final answer as

<h3>1.99 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

Sulfur burns in the air to form 33.6L of sulfur dioxide. (S = 32, O =16, 64g of sulfur dioxide has 22.4L, 32g of oxygen has 22.4
ivolga24 [154]

The mass of oxygen reacted/required in this reaction is obtained as 48g.

<h3>What is stoichiometry?</h3>

The term stoichiometry has to do with mass- volume or mass - mole relationship which ultimately depends on the balanced reaction equation.

Now, we have the reaction; S + O2 ------>SO2

If 1 mole of sulfur dioxide contains 22.4 L

x moles of sulfur dioxide contains 33.6L

x = 1.5 moles of sulfur dioxide.

Since the reaction is 1:1, the number if moles of oxygen required/reacted is 1.5 moles.

Mass of oxygen required/reacted = 1.5 moles * 32 g/mol = 48g

The ka of hf is 6.8 x 10-4. what is the ph of a 0.35 m solution of hf?
damaskus [11]
When the reaction equation is:

HF ↔ H+   +   F-

and when the Ka expression
= concentration of products/concentration of reactions

so, Ka = [H+][F-]/[HF]

when we assume:

[H+] = [F-] = X

and [HF] = 0.35 - X

So, by substitution:

6.8 x 10^-4 = X^2 / (0.35 - X) by solving for X

∴ X = 0.015 M

∴[H+] = X = 0.015

when PH = -㏒[H+]

∴PH = -㏒0.015

        = 1.8
