Answer:

hope it helps plz mark me brainliest!

Explanation:

a) This pattern is repeated in all directions, giving a giant three-dimensional lattice structure in sodium chloride crystals. Because of the strong electrostatic forces between them, it takes a great deal of energy to separate the positive and negative ions in a crystal lattice.

b) Sodium chloride has a high melting and boiling point. There are strong electrostatic attractions between the positive and negative ions, and it takes a lot of heat energy to overcome them. Ionic substances all have high melting and boiling points.

c) In the solid state, ionic compounds such as sodium chloride have their ions fixed in position and therefore these ions cannot move so solid ionic compounds cannot conduct electricity. However in the molten state, ions in ionic compounds are free to flow and therefore molten sodium chloride can conduct electricity.

What is the redox half equation for 3Ag2S + 2Al --> 6Ag + Al2, and identity which material is oxidized and which is reduced?

marta [7]

Answer:

Al is oxidized while Ag is reduced.

Explanation:

The complete molecular equation is;

3Ag2S + 2Al --> 6Ag + Al2S3

Oxidation half equation;

2Al ------> 2Al^3+ + 6e

Reduction half equation;

6Ag^+ + 6e -------> 6Ag

Overall redox reaction equation;

2Al + 6Ag^+ ----->2Al^3+ + 6Ag

Hence; Al is oxidized while Ag is reduced.

Which of the following statements best explains the observation that hydrogen fluoride has the highest boiling point of all the

olasank [31]

Answer:

c. HF can participate in hydrogen bonding.

Explanation:

The boiling points of substances often reflect the strength of the intermolecular forces operating among the molecules.

If it takes more energy to separate molecules of HF than of the rest of the hydrogen halides because HF molecules are held together by stronger intermolecular forces, then the boiling point of HF will be higher than that of all the hydrogen halides.

A particularly strong type of intermolecular attraction is called the hydrogen bond, which is a special type of dipole-dipole interaction between the hydrogen atom in a polar bond, such as N-H, O-H, or F-H, and an electronegative O, N, or F atom.

a beaker of benzene is at room temperature. what is its vapor pressure. Is this vapor pressure large enough to cause the benzene

Serhud [2]

Answer:

(1). The vapor pressure is 91 mmHg at 20°C.

(2). No, benzene will not boil at sea level.

Explanation:

Benzene, C6H6 is an aromatic, liquid compound with with molar mass of 78.11 g/mol and Melting point of 5.5 °C. One of the importance or the uses of benzene is in the making of fibres and plastics.

The vapour pressure of benzene can be gotten from the table showing the vapor pressure of different liquids.

Boiling point can simply be defined as the point or the temperature in which the vapor pressure is the same with the atmospheric pressure.

The atmospheric pressure is 760mmHg, while the vapor pressure at sea level is at the temperature of 15°C which is equal to 71 mmHg( from the table showing the vapor pressure of different liquids).

71 mmHg is not equal to 760 mmHg, thus, at sea level Benzene will not boil.

Phosphorus tribromide decomposes to form phosphorus and bromine, like this: 4pbr3 (g) → p4 (g) + 6br2 (g) write the pressure equ

FrozenT [24]

Chemical reaction: 4PBr₃(g) → P₄(g) + 6Br₂(g).
Pressure equilibrium constant (Kp) express the relationship between product pressures and reactant pressures. The partial pressures of gases are used to calculate pressure equilibrium constant.
Kp = (p(P₄) · p(Br₂)⁶) ÷ p(PBr₃)⁴.
p(P₄) - partial pressure of phosphorus.
p(Br₂) - partial pressure of bromine.
