A density of a substance is constant. It is an extensive property, meaning it does not depend on the amount of substance because it is a ratio of mass to volume. No matter how much of each there is, they would always have a fixed ratio called density. For lead, the density is
Density = mass/volume
Density = 23.94 g/ 2.10 cm³
Density = 11.4 g/cm³
Answer:
According to Coulomb’s law, the Ca and Se ions have 4 times the attractive force (2+ × 2-) than that of the K and Br ions (1+ × 1-).
Explanation:
From Coulomb's law, the attractive force between calcium and selenium ions is four times the attractive force between potassium and bromide ions.
This has something to do with size and magnitude of charge. Calcium ions and selenide ions are smaller and both carry greater charge magnitude than potassium and bromide ions. This paves way for greater electrostatic attraction between them when the distance of the charges apart is minimal. Hence a greater lattice energy.
A salt is more dense than water if it is insoluble in water
Answer:
The water molecules slow down, stronger attractions form between them, and the molecules are pulled closer together.
Explanation:
In solids the packing of the particles is closer and tighter thus increasing the intermolecular attraction. This makes solids rigid with a definite shape, size and volume. On the other hand in liquids the packing of the particles is loose thus decreasing the intermolecular attraction. This makes liquids able to flow, and takes the shape and volume of the container in which they are placed.
Answer: Options (a) and (d) are the correct answer.
Explanation:
A catalyst is the substance which helps in increasing the rate of reaction.
Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required by reactants to start the reaction. On addition of catalyst, the path of reaction changes because the energy barrier gap reduces and hence, the activation energy also decreases.
In the absence of catalyst, we need to increase the temperature so that reaction can occur quickly.
Whereas on addition of catalyst, there is no need to increase the temperature as the catalyst itself is sufficient to increase the rate of reaction. As a result, temperature should be lowered when there is addition of catalyst in the reaction.
Thus, we can conclude that catalysts can save money by essentially lowering the activation energy and temperature required.
