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

How many liters of air must react with 2500 mL of hexane in order for combustion to occur completely. The percentage of oxygen i

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

118750 ml

Explanation:

The chemical equation for complete combustion of hexane is given as;

2C6H14 + 19O2 → 12CO2 + 14H2O

From the equation of the reaction;

2 mol of C6H14 reacts with 19 mol of O2

2 ml of C6H14 reacts with 19 ml of O2

2500 mL of C6H14 would react with x ml of O2

2 = 19

2500 = x

x = 2500 * 19 / 2 = 23750 ml

Since oxygen is 20% of air;

23750 = 20 / 100 * (Volume of air)

Volume of air = 23750 * 100 / 20 = 118750 ml

Given that cao(s) + h2o(l) → ca(oh)2(s), δh°rxn = –64.8 kj/mol, how many grams of cao must react in order to liberate 525 kj of

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

454.3 g.

Explanation:

From the given data:

1.0 mol of CaO liberates → – 64.8 kJ.

??? mol of CaO liberates → - 525 kJ.

∴ The no. of moles needed = (1.0 mol)(- 525 kJ)/(- 64.8 kJ) = 8.1 mol.

<em>∴ The no. of grams of CaO needed = no. of moles x molar mass</em> = (8.1 mol)(56.077 g/mol) = <em>454.3 g.</em>

The molecular formula of the given compound is CH₅N.

<h3>What is the ideal gas equation?</h3>

The ideal gas law has defined the product of the volume and pressure as equal to the product of the gas constant (R) and absolute temperature of the gas.

The mathematical equation of the ideal gas law is as follows:

PV = nRT

The temperature of the compound, T = 22° C = 295 K

The pressure of the compound, P = 99.5 KPa = 0.982 atm

The volume of the compound, V = 125 ml = 0.125 L

0.125 × 0.982 = (0.157 g/M) × 0.082 ×295

M = 31 g/mol

A number of moles of C = 0.157 ×0.37/12 = 0.00484

A number of moles of N = 0.157 ×0.45/14 = 0.00504

A number of moles of H = 0.157 ×0.16/1 = 0.0251

The simplest ratio of C: N: H is 1 : 1 : 5

The empirical formula of the given compound is CH₅N.

The molecular formula of the compound is CH₅N as the molecular mass is equal to 31 g/mol.
