When a solid melts, why does it absorb energy?

Chemistry

In order for the molecules to actually separate from each other, more energy must be added. This energy, called heat of fusion or heat of melting, is absorbed by the particles as potential energy as the solid changes to a liquid. I hope this helps

c) A substance has a high melting point and conducts electricity. What type of structure does it have
trapecia [35]

Answer:

Metallic structure

Explanation:

They have a high melting point due to the strong forces of attraction between the positive ions (cations) and the delocalised electrons. Moreover, they conduct electricity due to the sea of delocalised electrons.

<em>[Extra: It could be an ionic compound since they also have a high melting point, however they only conduct electricity in liquid or aqeouus state.]</em>

Please answer ASAP!!
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

C.0.28 V  

Explanation:

Using the standard cell potential we can find the standard cell potential for a voltaic cell as follows:

The most positive potential is the potential that will be more easily reduced. The other reaction will be the oxidized one. That means for the reactions:

Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Cu E° = 0.52V

Ag⁺ + 1e⁻ → Ag E° = 0.80V

As the Cu will be oxidized:

Cu → Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻

The cell potential is:

E°Cell = E°cathode(reduced) - E°cathode(oxidized)

E°cell = 0.80V - (0.52V)

E°cell = 1.32V

Right answer is:

<h3>C.0.28 V </h3>

Combining hydrogen and oxygen to make water Group of answer choices releases a lot of energy. consumes a lot of energy. releases
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Releases a lot of energy. When hydrogen a highly reactive element reacts with oxygen, it does so using immense force, when the bonds break high amounts of emery is released.

2. When heated above 500 ºC, potassium nitrate decomposes according to the equation below. 4KNO3 2K2O + 2N2 + 5O2A.If oxygen is
AysviL [449]

Answer:

(a) The rate of formation of K2O is 0.12 M/s.

The rate of formation of N2 is also 0.12 M/s

(b) The rate of decomposition of KNO3 is 0.24 M/s

Explanation:

(a) From the equation of reaction, the mole ratio of K2O to O2 is 2:5.

Rate of formation of O2 is 0.3 M/s

Therefore, rate of formation of K2O = (2×0.3/5) = 0.12 M/s

Also from the equation of reaction, mole ratio of N2 to O2 is 2:5.

Rate of formation of N2 = (2×0.3/5) = 0.12 M/s

(b) From the equation of reaction, mole ratio of KNO3 to O2 is 4:5.

Therefore, rate of decomposition of KNO3 = (4×0.3/5) = 0.24 M/s
