Why do solids maintain a specific shape and volume?

Chemistry
1 answer:
s344n2d4d5 [400]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Solids can hold their shape because their molecules are tightly packed together. ... Atoms and molecules in liquids and gases are bouncing and floating around, free to move where they want. The molecules in a solid are stuck in a specific structure or arrangement of atoms.

Copper (II) Sulfate pentahydrate, CuSO4 X 5H20 is heated in an open crucible to remove the water. (a) Diagram the lab set up cle
balu736 [363]

The water molecules are not completely removed so additional heating is required.

Explanation:

We have the copper (II) sulfate pentehydrate with the chemical formula CuSO₄ · 5H₂O.

molar mass of CuSO₄ · 5H₂O = 159.6 + 5 × 18 = 249.6 g/mole

Knowing this, we devise the following reasoning:

if in       249.6 g of CuSO₄ · 5H₂O there are 90 g of H₂O

then in         8 g of CuSO₄ · 5H₂O there are Y g of H₂O

Y = (8 × 90) / 249.6 = 2.88 g of water

mass of dried CuSO₄ = mass of CuSO₄ · 5H₂O -  mass of H₂O

mass of dried CuSO₄ = 8 - 2.88 = 5.12 g

5.12 g is less that the weighted mass of 6.50 g. We deduce from this that the sample needs additional heating in order to remove all the water (H₂O) molecules.

Phosgene is formed from carbon monoxide and chlorine. At 611 oC, Kc is approximately 16.5 M-1 or L/mol. Calculate Kp (in atm-1)
defon

Answer:

Kp is 0.228/atm

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

CO + Cl<u>₂</u> → CCl₂O

1 mol of carbon monoxide and 1 mol of chlorine produce 1 mol of phosgene.

Formula for Kp which derivates from Kc is:

Kp = Kc (R.T)ⁿᵇ ⁻ ⁿᵃ

Δп = nb (moles in the products) - nₐ(moles in the reactants)

Δп = 1 - 2 = -1

T is T° in K → T°C + 273 = 611°C +273 = 884K

R → Universal constant gas → 0.082 L.atm/mol.K

We replace the data: Kp = 16.5 L/mol (0.082 . 884K)⁻¹ → 0.228/atm

Which is the most accurate description of ionic and covalent bonding?
Yuliya22 [10]
Ionic Bonding: 
This type of bonding occurs when atoms want to fulfil their valence shells by taking/giving electrons to other atoms. This, leads to completed valence shells in most cases and ionisation of both elements. The opposite charges cause the elements to stick together because opposites attract. 

Covalent Bonding: 
This type of bonding occurs when electrons are shared between atoms to each fill up their own valence shells by sharing. The balance between the attraction forces and repulsion forces between the shared electrons is called covalent bonding. 

Hope I helped :)
