What type of compound usually has higher melting points: ionic compounds or covalent compounds?

Chemistry

IrinaVladis [17]3 years ago

The ionic bond is stronger than the covalent bond so it takes more energy (heat) to make the ions come apart. When they do come apart and melt, one atom will still be more positive and the other more negative. In a covalent bond the atoms share the electrons and neither atom has to give up its electron completely. In an ionic compound like salt (NaCl) sodium gives up one electron which goes to join with the chlorine atom. So you have  positive sodium atoms and a negative chlorine atoms in a nicely organized array which is the salt crystal.


I hope this helped you in some way. Good Luck!!

After boiling a chicken in a stock pot, you let the chicken stock cool down and place it
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Chicken fat is in the shallowest area because, being hydrophobic and lipid content of chicken, it is the lowest density compound in the broth, therefore it rises and does not precipitate. All fats usually float in liquid media because their density is less than that of water.

On the other hand, the gelatin that forms in the boil of the chicken broth is a gelatinous compound that is very nutritionally rich, consisting of denatured proteins that leave the chicken undergoing aqueous coagulation.

Both do not mix and due to the difference in densities, but in order to dissociate it, it is convenient to use emulsifiers or by cryogenic methods where cold is applied and its division is better.

Explanation:

In liquid media such as chicken broth, or any broth, when proteins or foods that contain a large amount of fats and proteins are boiled, the fatty layer will always be the most superficial because it is the one with the lowest density, therefore, that denatured coagulated protein with water it will be the next layer and finally the solids such as bone or cartilage remains would be in the deepest area because they are the ones with the highest density.

Another method to dissociate these products is through enzymatic activity, throwing enzymes into the broth formed.

In a study designed to prepare new gasoline-resistant coatings, a polymer chemist dissolves 6.143 g poly(vinyl alcohol) in enoug
Ghella [55]

Answer:

MM = 5,521.54 g/mol

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to use the expression for osmotic pressure which is the following:

π = MRT (1)

Where:

M: Concentration of the solution

R: gas constant (0.082 L atm/ mol K

T: temperature in K

25 °C in Kelvin is: 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K

Now, we do not have the concentration of the solution, but we do have the mass. and the concentration can be expressed in terms of mass, molar mass and volume:

Concentration (M) is:

M = n/V (2)

and n (moles) is:

n = m/MM (3)

Therefore, if we replace (2) and (3) in (1) we have:

π = mRT/V*MM

Solving for MM we have:

MM = mRT/πV (4)

All we have to do now, is replace the given data and we should get the value of the molar mass:

MM = 6.143 * 0.082 * 298.15 / 0.1 * 0.272

MM = 150.1859 / 0.0272

<em>MM = 5,521.54 g/mol</em>

<em>This is the molar mass.</em>

A substance has twice the number of particles as 12 grams of carbon-12. How many
klasskru [66]

Answer:

D)2.0

Explanation:

Avogadro’s number represent the number of the constituent particles which are present in one mole of the substance. It is named after scientist Amedeo Avogadro and is denoted by N_0.

Also, it is the number of particles in exactly 12.000 g of isotope carbon 12.

Avogadro constant:-

N_a=6.023\times 10^{23}

Thus,

Number of particles as 12 grams of carbon-12 constitutes 1 mole

<u>Twice the number of particles as 12 grams of carbon-12 constitutes 1*2 mole</u>

Thus, moles in the substance = 2.0 moles
