Explain why diamond has a high melting point

2 answers:

8 0

In diamond 4 carbon atoms are strongly bonded with covalent bond and they form giant covalent structure which requires large amount of energy to break down, that’s why diamond has a high melting point. It does not conduct electricity.

Answer:

Each carbon atom is covalently bonded to 4 other carbon atoms in diamond. A large amount of energy is required to split these atoms apart. This is because of the fact that covalent bonds are strong.

A 3.301 mass % aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide has a density of 1.05 g/mL. Calculate the molality of the solution. Give

8_murik_8 [283]

<u>Answer:</u> The molality of potassium hydroxide solution is 0.608 m

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

3.301 mass % of potassium hydroxide solution.

This means that 3.301 grams of potassium hydroxide is present in 100 grams of solution

Mass of solvent = Mass of solution - Mass of solute (KOH)

Mass of solvent = (100 - 3.301) g = 96.699 g

To calculate the molality of solution, we use the equation:

$\text{Molality}=\frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ (in grams})}$

Where,

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute (KOH) = 3.301 g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute (KOH) = 56.1 g/mol

$W_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent = 96.699 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molality of KOH}=\frac{3.301\times 1000}{56.1\times 96.699}\\\\\text{Molality of KOH}=0.608m$

Hence, the molality of potassium hydroxide solution is 0.608 m

How does a sugar solution become rock candy?

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

A supersaturated solution is unstable—it contains more solute (in this case, sugar) than can stay in solution—so as the temperature decreases, the sugar comes out of the solution, forming crystals. The lower the temperature, the more molecules join the sugar crystals, and that is how rock candy is created.
