Answer: It can't.

Explanation:

In most cases, the melting point alone will not enable you to identify a compound. Millions of solid organic compounds, and their melting points, are known. Perhaps 10,000 of these will have the same melting point as your unknown compound.

Hope this helps!

Which compound has the strongest hydrogen bonding between its molecules?

GrogVix [38]

(3) HF because HCl is an acid and it seperates easily into water. Flourine has the highest electronegativity so im guessing because it pulls the electrons the hardest that it has the strongest bonds.

What is the atom inventory for the following equation after it is properly balanced? ____NaOH + ____CuCl2 Imported Asset ____NaC

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Reactants: Na = 2, O = 2, H = 2, Cu = 1, Cl = 2;

Products: Na = 2, Cl = 2, Cu = 1, O = 2, H = 2

Explanation:

NaOH + CuCL2 —> NaCl + Cu(OH)2

The balanced equation can be achieved by doing the following:

There are 2 oxygen and 2 hydrogen atom on the right side. This is balanced by putting 2 in front of NaOH as shown below:

2NaOH + CuCL2 —> NaCl + Cu(OH)2

This makes Na to be unbalanced. Now to balance Na, put 2 in front of NaCl as illustrated below

2NaOH + CuCL2 —> 2NaCl + Cu(OH)2

Now the equation is balanced.

Reactants: Na = 2, O = 2, H = 2, Cu = 1, Cl = 2

Products: Na = 2, Cl = 2, Cu = 1, O = 2, H = 2

Question 2: Heat (5 points)

Ronch [10]

Answer:

(i) specific heat

(ii) latent heat of vaporization

(iii) latent heat of fusion

Explanation:

i. Q = mcΔT; identify c.

Here, Q is heat, m is the mass, c is the specific heat and ΔT is the change in temperature.

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of substance of mass 1 kg by 1 degree C is known as the specific heat.

ii. Q = mLvapor; identify Lvapor

Here, Q is the heat, m is the mass and L is the latent heat of vaporization.

The amount of heat required to convert the 1 kg liquid into 1 kg vapor at constant temperature.

iii. Q = mLfusion; identify Lfusion

Here, Q is the heat, m is the mass and L is the latent heat of fusion.

Here, Q is the heat, m is the mass and L is the latent heat of vaporization.

The amount of heat required to convert the 1 kg solid into 1 kg liquid at constant temperature.
