Why are properties of covalent compounds so diverse

Chemistry
1 answer:
faltersainse [42]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The diversity of physical properties among covalent compounds is mainly because of widely varying intermolecular attractions. ... All of the atoms are covalently bonded to each other.

The standard enthalpy of formation for glucose [c6h12o6(s)] is −1273.3 kj/mol. what is the correct formation equation correspond
balu736 [363]
The standard formation equation for glucose C6H12O6(s) that corresponds to the standard enthalpy of formation or enthalpy change ΔH°f = -1273.3 kJ/mol is 
     C(s) + H2(g) + O2(g) → C6H12O6(s)
and the balanced chemical equation is 
     6C(s) + 6H2(g) + 3O2(g) → C6H12O6(s)

Using the equation for the standard enthalpy change of formation 
     ΔHoreaction = ∑ΔHof(products)−∑ΔHof(Reactants)
     ΔHoreaction = ΔHfo[C6H12O6(s)] - {ΔHfo[C(s, graphite) + ΔHfo[H2(g)] + ΔHfo[O2(g)]}

C(s), H2(g), and O2(g) each have a standard enthalpy of formation equal to 0 since they are in their most stable forms:
     ΔHoreaction = [1*-1273.3] - [(6*0) + (6*0) + (3*0)]
                           = -1273.3 - (0 + 0 + 0)
                           = -1273.3

A substance with a pH of 10 is how much more basic than a substance with a pH of 2?
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The same holds true for pH values above 7, each of which is ten times more alkaline (another way to say basic) than the next lower whole value. For example, pH 10 is ten times more alkaline than pH 9 and 100 times (10 times 10) more alkaline than pH 8.

15 mL of acid 2 M was added to 20 mL of base 2 M into a calorimeter at room temperature (24 oC). The reaction mixture reached a
erik [133]

Answer:

here:

Explanation:

The changes in temperature caused by a reaction, combined with the values of the specific heat and the mass of the reacting system, makes it possible to determine the heat of reaction.

Heat energy can be measured by observing how the temperature of a known mass of water (or other substance) changes when heat is added or removed. This is basically how most heats of reaction are determined. The reaction is carried out in some insulated container, where the heat absorbed or evolved by the reaction causes the temperature of the contents to change. This temperature change is measured and the amount of heat that caused the change is calculated by multiplying the temperature change by the heat capacity of the system.

The apparatus used to measure the temperature change for a reacting system is called a calorimeter (that is, a calorie meter). The science of using such a device and the data obtained with it is called calorimetry. The design of a calorimeter is not standard and different calorimeters are used for the amount of precision required. One very simple design used in many general chemistry labs is the styrofoam "coffee cup" calorimeter, which usually consists of two nested styrofoam cups.

When a reaction occurs at constant pressure inside a Styrofoam coffee-cup calorimeter, the enthalpy change involves heat, and little heat is lost to the lab (or gained from it). If the reaction evolves heat, for example, very nearly all of it stays inside the calorimeter, the amount of heat absorbed or evolved by the reaction is calculated.

Explain the units and how to solve the following metric conversion then solve the metric conversion by filling in the blank 12KM
LiRa [457]

Answer:- 12 km = 12000 m

Solution:- It's a metric unit conversion where we are asked to convert 12 km to m where km stands for kilometer and m stands for meter.

In metric conversions, kilo means 1000.

So, 1 km = 1000 m

It means,  we multiply the given km by 1000 to get the answer in m as:

12km(\frac{1000m}{1km})

= 12000 m

Hence, 12 km = 12000 m.
