In table below, there are descriptions of an experiment on samples of three different chemical compounds. Decide whether the com

pound is ionic or molecular, if you can. If there is not enough information to decide, choose can't decide in the third column.
compound description ionic or molecular
1 Compound 1 is a light gray solid made of
overlapping hexagonal crystals. When heated gently it
starts to soften and develop an unpleasant smell about
50 °C. above room temperature.
2 Compound 2 is a dull white smooth solid which does not
conduct electricity. Applying an ordinary laboratory burner
to the material only makes the substance hot, it does not
otherwise change. In fact, the substance can't be melted
or even softed by any ordinary laboratory equipment.
3 Compound 3 is a clear liquid with a strong pleasantly
fruity smell. If cooled it freezes at about -10 °C. In the
solid state it does not conduct electricity.

Answer:

Compound 1 is molecular

Compound 2 is ionic

Compound 3 can't really be decided

Explanation:

A molecular substance does not conduct electricity, has very low melting and boiling points and is held together by very weak intermolecular forces.

An ionic substance conducts electricity in solution or in molten state but never in the pure solid state, has a high melting and boiling point and has a dull appearance most times.

Compounds 1 shows the properties of molecular substances hence it are designated as such.

On the other hand, compound 2 shows the properties of an ionic substance and is also designated as such.

We can't really decide on compound 3 because it shows some properties of ionic substances and some properties of molecular substances.

A gas occupies 3.5L at 2.5 kPa pressure. What is the volume at 100 mmHg at the same temperature? Be sure to
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

V₂ = 0.656 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 3.5 L

Initial pressure = 2.5 KPa

Final volume = ?

Final pressure = 100 mmHg (100/7.501=13.33 KPa)

Solution:

The given problem will be solved through the Boyle's law,

"The volume of given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure by keeping the temperature and number of moles constant"

Mathematical expression:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = initial volume

P₂ = final pressure

V₂ = final volume  

Now we will put the values in formula,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

2.5 KPa × 3.5 L = 13.33 KPa × V₂

V₂ = 8.75 KPa. L/13.33 KPa

V₂ = 0.656 L

How does fabric softener affect the flammability of different fabrics?
Karolina [17]
<span>Research shows that fabric softeners decrease flame resistance. The flame resistance of a fabric can be increased in a variety of ways. Most often, the fabric is treated with special flame resistant chemicals. Synthetic fabrics, such as polyester, are naturally flame resistant. These fabrics have a property called thermoplasticity, where the fabric naturally melts and shrinks when exposed to flame. This prevents these fabrics from igniting and burning as easily as other fabrics. Basic properties of a fabric, such as porosity, can also influence flame resistance. Larger pores allow for oxygen to be more present in the fabric, making it more flammable.</span>

What is earth's crust mainly composed of ​
____ [38]

Answer:

The crust is made of solid rocks and minerals. Beneath the crust is the mantle, which is also mostly solid rocks and minerals, but punctuated by malleable areas of semi-solid magma. At the center of the Earth is a hot, dense metal core.

Which substance is the reducing agent in this reaction? 2KMnO4+3Na2SO3+H2O→2MnO2+3Na2SO4+2KOH
LuckyWell [14K]
2KMnO4+3Na2SO3+H2O→2MnO2+3Na2SO4+2KOH
In a reaction, the reducing agent is the element or compound that donates electron or the one tht loses electrons. The oxidized species. The opposite is called the oxidizing agent. It is the one who accepts the electrons lost. For this reaction KMnO4 is reduced into MnO2.
