An ice cube and a scoop of table salt are left outside on a warm sunny day. explain why the ice cube melts and the salt does not

The melting point of ice is 0 degrees Celcius, which means it exists as a liquid for any temperatures above 0 degrees. The melting point of salt is approximately 800 degrees Celcius, which is way greater than the melting point of ice. This means that for temperatures below 800 degrees, salt exists as a solid.

The temperature of the area where they were placed we can assume was somewhere between 0 and 800 degrees, greater than the melting point of ice but less than the melting point of salt. This why the ice melted but the salt did not.

I hope this helps!

What does a metal's position in an activity series indicate about the chemical properties of that particular metal?
Fed [463]
The closer to the top the metal is in the list, the more active the metal is and the stronger a reducing agent the metal is. When two different metals are involved in a redox reaction, the metal higher in the list will be oxidized and give up electrons that will reduce the cation of the less active metal.

1) number of moles of N2 = n/2

2) Number of moles of CH4 = n/2

3) Total number of moles of the mixture = n/2 + n/2 = n

4) Kg of N2

mass in grams = number of moles * molar mass

molar mass of N2 = 2 * 14.0 g/mol = 28 g/mol

=> mass of N2 in grams = (n/2) * 28 = 14n

mass of N2 in Kg = mass of N2 in grams * [1 kg / 1000g] = 14n/1000 kg = 0.014n kg

Answer: mass of N2 in kg = 0.014n kg

Which of the following statements about enthalpy is true?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:    A chemical process must occur and then changes between the state of the reactants and the state of the products can be determined

Explanation:  Enthalpy represents the sum of the energy of the system with the product of the pressure and volume of that system. As a thermodynamic property, it expresses the ability to release heat from the system. In fact, enthalpy  tells us how much heat and work has changed during the chemical reaction under constant pressure. When measuring, measurements of the difference in enthalpy between the two states of the system is performed, before and after the chemical reaction, since total enthalpy can not be measured. This measurement of the enthalpy change can tell us, for example, whether the heat was released from the system during the reaction, or the system absorbed the heat.

Gain or lose.
The exchange of electrons in chemical bonding seeks to fulfill the octet rule. There are some exceptions, such as with hydrogen and helium, whose valence shells have a capacity of two electrons.

In a given column of the periodic table the elements have _____.
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

a. similar properties

Explanation:

In a given column of the periodic table, the elements have similar properties.

A column on the periodic table is known as a group or family. The group is a vertical arrangement of elements  on the periodic table.

Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons after their group number.

For example, all the elements in group 1 have one valence electron. Those in group 2 have 2 valence electrons.

The valence electrons of an atom determines its chemical properties. So, all elements in the same group have the same chemical properties.
