What characteristics of a metallic bond explains some of the properties of metals

Chemistry
1 answer:
d1i1m1o1n [39]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Metallic bonds involve attraction between electrons and positively charged metal ions. The metals are ionized and electrons form a sea of valence electrons. These loosely bound electrons surround the nuclei of the metals.

The presence of this sea of electrons explains the fact that metals conduct electricity and heat due to the free valence electrons.

Due to the nature of the bonding between metal atoms,metals are malleable and ductile.

Due to the strong electrostatic interaction between metal ions and electrons, the metallic bond is very strong and is very difficult to break thereby accounting for the greater strength of metals as the size of the metallic ion decreases.

To what is wax susceptible
maks197457 [2]
Wax is definitely susceptible to heat and with the application of heat such as burning a candle, the solid wax gets converted into a liquid. This fact can be used to remove ear wax also actually using hollow candles that will melt the ear wax and allow it to be drained out of the ear.

An aqueous solution in a 55 gallon (208 l drum), characterized by minimal buffering capacity, received 4kg of phenol and 1.5 kg
lianna [129]

An aqueous solution in a 55 gallon (208 l drum), characterized by minimal buffering capacity, received 4kg of phenol and 1.5 kg of sodium phenate. What is the ph of the solution. The pka of phenol = 9.98. Mw of phenol and sodium phenate are 94 g/mol and 116 g/mol, respectively.


Volume of solution = 55 gallons = 208.2 L [ 1 gallon = 3.78 L]

moles of phenol = mass / molar mass = 4000 g / 94 = 42.55 moles

moles of sodium phenate = mass / molar mass = 1500 / 116 = 12.93 moles

pKa of phenol = 9.98

We know that the pH of buffer is calculated using Hendersen Hassalbalch's equation

pH = pKa + log [salt] / [acid]

volume is same for both the sodium phenate and phenol has we can directly take the moles of each in the formula

pH = 9.98 + log [12.93 / 42.55] = 9.46
