Answer:

Ionic 

If something is a hard solid, that can dissolve in water, and has a high melting point are ionic substances, because they are hard solids due to strong electrostatic force between particles and and they have high melting points because of their strong attraction between the particles which needed more energy in order to break down and melt .....

their one property is to dissolve in water because they are generally non polar which dissolves easily in polar liquids like water.

i hope it helped you....

The standard enthalpy of formation of BrCl(g) is 14.7 kJmol-1 . The standard enthalpies for the atomization of Br2(l) and Cl2(g)

natita [175]

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction:

Br2(l) + Cl2(g) --> 2BrCl(g)

The enthalpy change for this reaction will be equal to twice the standard enthalpy change of formation for bromine monochloride, BrCl.

The standard enthalpy change of formation for a compound,

ΔH°f, is the change in enthalpy when one mole of that compound is formed from its constituent elements in their standard state at a pressure of 1 atm.

This means that the standard enthalpy change of formation will correspond to the change in enthalpy associated with this reaction

1/2Br2(g) + 1/2Cl2(g) → BrCl(g)

Here, ΔH°rxn = ΔH°f

This means that the enthalpy change for this reaction will be twice the value of ΔH°f = 2 moles BrCl

Using Hess' law,

ΔH°f = total energy of reactant - total energy of product

= (1/2 * (+112) + 1/2 * (+121)) - 14.7

= 101.8 kJ/mol

ΔH°rxn = 101.8 kJ/mol.

The mixing of which pair of reactants will result in a precipitation reaction?

Maru [420]

Answer:

K2SO4(aq) + Ba(NO3)2(aq)

Explanation:

K2SO4(aq) + Ba(NO3)2(aq)= 2KNO3(aq) + BaSO4(s)

The reaction produces BaSO4

Which precipitates as the insoluble product and Soluble KNO3 solution

Iodine-131 decays with a half-life of 8.02

dlinn [17]

Radioactive material undergoes 1st order decay kinetics.

For 1st order decay, half life = 0.693/k

where k = rate constant

k = 0.693/half life = 0.693/8.02 = 0.0864 day-1

Now, for 1st order reaction,
k = $\frac{2.303}{t} X log \frac{initial.conc}{final.conc}$

Given: t = 6.01d, initial conc. = 5mg

∴0.0864 = $\frac{2.303}{6.01} X log \frac{5}{final.conc}$
∴ final conc. = 2.975 mg
