Why do elements have different properties?

1 answer:

3 0

I think because each element has its own number of protons and neutrons, giving it its own atomic number and mass (correct me if I’m wrong please)

Explanation:

The melting point of a substance is the temperature at which its melt. The state of a substance is dependent on it's melting temperature. Generally, melting point above 25 °C is a solid.

This means phenol is a solid

Duodecane has melting point below 25 °C hence it is either a liquid or gas. However its boiling point of 216 °C means it would require higher temperature to boil it. Since 25 °C is less than 216 °C it means that it would remain in the liquid state.

Methane has melting point below 25 °C hence it is either a liquid or gas. However its boiling point of -164 °C means it boils easily even at very low temperatures. Since 25 °C is greater than -164 °C it means that it would exist in the gaseous state

Phosphine, an extremely poisonous and highly reactive gas, will react with oxygen to form tetraphosphorus decoxide and water, as

erica [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of $P_4O_{10}$ formed is 469.8 grams.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ......(1)

Given mass of phosphine = 225 g

Molar mass of phosphine = 34 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of phosphine}=\frac{225g}{34g/mol}=6.62mol$

The given chemical reaction follows:

$4PH_3(g)+8O_2(g)\rightarrow P_4O_{10}(s)+6H_2O(g)$

Assuming that oxygen gas is present in excess, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Phosphine is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

4 moles of phosphine produces 1 mole of $P_4O_{10}$

So, 6.62 moles of phosphine will produce = $\frac{1}{4}\times 6.62=1.655mol$ of $P_4O_{10}$

Now, calculating the mass of $P_4O_{10}$ by using equation 1:

Molar mass of $P_4O_{10}$ = 283.9 g/mol

Moles of $P_4O_{10}$ = 1.655 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.655mol=\frac{\text{Mass of }P_4O_{10}}{283.9g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of }P_4O_{10}=(1.655mol\times 283.9g/mol)=469.8g$

Hence, the amount of $P_4O_{10}$ formed is 469.8 grams.

The laws of electrostatics predict that protons will

GaryK [48]

The laws of the electrostatics were developed by Coulomb and are further detailed or subdivided into two as follows:

(1) The first one talks about the similarities in the charges of the particles and what happens to them. This states that like charges repel.

(2) The second one quantifies the field between two particles with equation showing that field is directly proportional to the masses and inversely to the square of the distance between them.

In this item, we can then say that the protons (having the same charges) will have to repel from each other in accordance to statement 1 of the law.
