It's called a compound because different elements are held together by a chemical bond.
No. Oxygen isn't even a metal.
Alkaline earth metals are the elements of the second column of the periodic table.
Answer:
Water has a higher boiling point because the hydrogen bonds that form water molecules are stronger than the Van der Waals interactions among methane molecules, therefor more energy must be provided in order to break the hydrogen bonds and allow the water molecules to escape the liquid state.
Explanation:
The balanced chemical equation would be as follows:
<span>K2PtCl4(aq) + 2NH3(aq) --> Pt(NH3)2Cl2(s) + 2KCl(aq)
We are given the amount of </span>K2PtCl4 to be used in the reaction. This will be the starting point for our calculations. We do as follows:
65 g K2PtCl4 ( 1 mol / 415.09 g ) ( 1 mol Pt(NH3)2Cl2 / 1 mol K2PtCl ) ( 300.051 g / 1 mol ) = 46.99 g Pt(NH3)2Cl produced
