The solid that require the greatest energy input to melt by mass is the option;

Covalent network

Solution Explanation

The elementary particles of a solid are held together by bonds that require an input of energy to unlock, and once broken, the particles are then able to change location within their containing vessels with less restrictions

Polar covalent molecular solids have the following characteristics;

a) Soluble in water b) Low melting point, b) Conduct electricity

Solids that are made up of a covalent network have the following characteristics

a) High melting point temperature b) Non conductive of electricity c) Not soluble in water

Solids of ionic compounds have the following characteristics;

a) High melting point temperature b) The liquid state and solution conducts electricity c) Soluble in water

Solids that have nonpolar covalent bonds have;

a) Low melting point b) Normally in the gaseous or liquid state b) Not water soluble

The covalent network, and the solids ionic compounds require the most energy to melt, however, the strength of the ionic bond in an ionic compound is a factor the charges present and the sizes of the atom, while the covalent network solid, are combined to <em>form essentially as a single molecule</em> and therefore require the greatest heat energy input to melt

6. What is the total number of calories lost when 10

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

so you started out with 80

you have to cool it till 60

so it is decreasing which means you have to subtract

Note=if something is increasing or wanting to go up its addition but for this problem 60 is less then 80 so we are doing subtraction

80-60=20

For the reaction below, Kp = 1.16 at 800.°C. CaCO3(s) equilibrium reaction arrow CaO(s) + CO2(g) If a 25.0-g sample of CaCO3 is

goblinko [34]

Answer:

76.0%

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

CaCO₃(s) ⇄ CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

At equilibrium, the equilibrium constant Kp is:

Kp = 1.16 = pCO₂ ⇒ pCO₂ = 1.16 atm

We can calculate the moles of CO₂ at equilibrium using the ideal gas equation.

$P.V=n.R.T\\n=\frac{P.V}{R.T} =\frac{1.16atm\times 14.4 L}{(0.08206atm.L/mol.K)\times 1073K} =0.190mol$

From the balanced equation, we know that 1 mole of CO₂ is produced by 1 mole of CaCO₃. Taking into account that the molar mass of CaCO₃ is 100.09 g/mol, the mass of CaCO₃ that reacted is:

$0.190molCO_{2}.\frac{1molCaCO_{3}}{1molCO_{2}} .\frac{100.09gCaCO_{3}}{1molCaCO_{3}} =19.0gCaCO_{3}$
