The factor that is generally responsible for higher melting point is intermolecular forces. The compounds that are covalent in nature are made of molecules rather than ions. It has been seen that some of the covalent compounds have polar molecules at one end, due to which the one end has more electronegative force than the other. The electrostatic force that is bounding the compound is the main cause of higher melting point of this compound. So it is true that with the increase of polarity of a compound creates higher melting point. .. hope I helped
D, democritus is the answer i got
Answer:
The reaction will move to the left.
Explanation:
<em>Ba(OH)₂ = Ba²⁺ + 2OH⁻,</em>
<em>Ba(OH)₂ is dissociated to Ba²⁺ and 2OH⁻.</em>
- If H⁺ ions are added to the equilibrium:
H⁺ will combine with OH⁻ to form water.
<em>So, the concentration of OH⁻ will decrease and the equilibrium is disturbed.</em>
<em />
<em>According to Le Châtelier's principle: </em>when there is an dynamic equilibrium, and this equilibrium is disturbed by an external factor, the equilibrium will be shifted in the direction that can cancel the effect of the external factor to reattain the equilibrium.
- So, the reaction will move to the right to suppress the effect of decreasing OH⁻ concentration.
- The base will dissociate to form more OH⁻ and thus, the quantity of Ba(OH)₂ will decrease.
<em>So, the right choice is: the reaction will move to the left, is the choice that will not happen to the equilibrium.</em>
