Explain why ionic compounds have such high melting and boiling points

Chemistry
1 answer:
Charra [1.4K]3 years ago
4 0
Ionic compounds are held together by electrostatic forces between the oppositely charged ions . ... As the ionic lattice contains such a large number of ions, a lot of energy is needed to overcome this ionic bonding so ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points. Hopefully that helps

If 2.0 ml of 6.0m hcl is used to make a 500.0-ml aqueous solution, what is the molarity of the dilute solution?
svp [43]
Make sure that you understand what they are asking you from this question, as it can be confusing, but the solution is quite simple. They are stating that they want you to calculate the final concentration of 6.0M HCl once a dilution has been made from 2.0 mL to 500.0 mL. They have given us three values, the initial concentration, initial volume and the final volume. So, we are able to employ the following equation:

C1V1 = C2V2
(6.0M)(2.0mL) = C2(500.0mL)
Therefore, the final concentration, C2 = 0.024M.

How do you calculate mass using density and volume?
skad [1K]
Example:

Mass = ?

Density = 25 g/mL

Volume = 5 mL

therefore:

d = m / V

25 = m / 5

m = 25 x 5

m = 125 g

hope this helps!

The Red Sea is widening at a rate of 1.25 centimeters per year. How many years will it take to widen another 812.5 centimeters?
Alla [95]

The correct answer is - B) 650.

The Red Sea is a sea that grows in size because it is widening all the time. The rate of the widening is 1.25 centimeters per year, so it is not something that can be easily seen during a normal human lifespan, but over a longer period of time it will have a much different shape, size, and influence in the region. It is located between the African and the Arabian tectonic plates as an elongated thin sea with a northwest-southeast direction.

The widening of the Red Sea is due to the movement of the tectonic plates. Africa is moving towards northwest, and that makes it slowly distance itself from the Arabian plate, thus opening more space for the Red Sea.

In order for the Red Sea to widen another 812.5 centimeters, will be required 650 years, and we can come to the result by simple dividing the required number of the width with the annual widening.

812.5 / 1.25 = 650.
